Fresh peaches

The Newton family is up to their necks in peaches this summer, with over half a million pounds of peaches at their orchard in Millen. They have been growing peaches for the past five years, with more than 5,000 trees in 13 varieties. The trees produce from May to August, and the orchard stand is open on Saturdays and Sundays.
