Peach procrastinators, time to put up or shut up

A warning to peach fans: You'd better stock up now. Pearson Farm, by far the largest supplier of local peaches to Atlanta farmers markets, is winding down for the season. Its last peaches destined for Atlanta-area farmers markets are on their way.

Peach Jam ’12: Let’s toast, or grill, our fave fruit

Technically speaking, the blueberry may be the new king of Georgia fruit*, but the peach will always be our queen. That’s why this weekend in the ATL, you can celebrate peaches at three farmers market events.

“Girl, you possess a myriad of health benefits.”

Despite the tiny blueberry's big financial advantage, Georgia has no plans to ditch the peach as one of our state's official symbols. Among other problems, blueberries are awful for objectifying woman.

Peaches land early on Atlanta restaurant plates

That realization came to me at a backyard party this past Memorial Day, while taking a bite from a perfectly ripe, sweet juicy peach. It wasn’t the first time I’ve been overtaken by the flavor of a Georgia peach, but it was the first time I’d had one that tasted rich and full with peak-season flavor a week before the end of May.

Party on, Georgia peach lovers

I was lucky enough to participate in the judging of a peach cobbler contest last week, and now I’d like to share my good fortune with you.The July 3 contest at Grant Park Farmers Market was part of Peach Jam, a two-market celebration of Georgia’s most esteemed fruit. On June 30, East Atlanta Village Farmers Market held a peach cocktail contest. Both markets featured peach-themed kid activities, chef demos, snacks, and a guy wearing a peach suit.

Peachy! Many markets open with peach season

It’s a big weekend for Atlanta-area farmers markets. Not just because several markets are opening for the season. But also because it’s the first big peach weekend.

Last call for actual Georgia peaches

It’s an irony of our city that, although we are surrounded by roads named Peachtree, very rarely do Atlantans set eyes on actual peach trees. Scoring a true Georgia peach is almost as difficult. Grocery stores shamelessly display South Carolina and – horror of horrors – California peaches, as if Georgia's core identity weren't on the line.
