Farm Fresh Georgia Peaches

Freestone peaches are the most widely anticipated peaches of the season. The freestone peach is the one you need to eat while standing over your kitchen sink, prized for its hallmark juiciness and sweet flavor. Freestone peaches are the last of the three categories to be harvested, but have the longest run, spanning from early to mid June through August. These peaches have flesh that falls right off the pit, making them the ideal peach for freezing, canning or eating.

Dickey Farms has been growing peaches in the heartland of Georgia since 1897, and it’s proud to be home to Georgia’s oldest continuously operating peach packinghouse. Built by Robert L. “Mr. Bob” Dickey in 1936, the long white building remains a prominent landmark in historic Musella, Georgia. Mr. Bob also implemented some revolutionary technology, including Georgia’s first peach fuzz-removing brushing machine and one of the first hydro-cooling systems to remove field dust and slow the ripening process. The Dickey family still runs the farm today, and takes pride in shipping the sweetest, juiciest peaches straight from the heart of Georgia to your door!
