One of the wonderful things about summertime is the fresh produce that we can get from local farms and farmer’s markets. Kentucky farms grow all sorts of delicious favorites such as tomatoes, corn, strawberries, and more, but one thing that gets even juicier when you head further south is peaches. Of course, Georgia is known for its peaches and you can get a taste of those perfect, juicy treats right here in the Bluegrass when The Peach Truck visits Kentucky. This popular truck is stopping all over the state and you can preorder your own box of mouthwatering peaches now!
There's plenty of farmland around Kentucky but one thing you don't see much of is an orchard filled with sweet peaches.
As you head further south and especially into Georgia, this delicious fruit grows on family farms that have been around for generations. There's a reason these peaches are some of the best you'll ever taste.
The perfect peach arrives in your kitchen after careful planning and care, and also after they are picked at just the right time.
These are skills that are learned over time, which is why the best peaches can often be found on those small town, southern farms.

The now owners of The Peach Truck knew this when they decided to partner with these small towns in Georgia to bring the best peaches to more people in the region.
They recognized a need and desire for amazing peaches in Nashville, where they live, and so they started The Peach Truck, which sets up shop in Nashville but also travels around delivering those peaches to hungry fans.

The Peach Truck Tour will take place again in the summer of 2020 and they've taken all the precautions given the current state of our society.
The Peach Truck will make 19 stops in Kentucky in cities like Louisville, Frankfort, Lexington, Murray, Bowling Green, Owensboro, and Richmond. You can find the closest stop to your house through the website linked below.
The peaches come in 25 lb. boxes and you can also pick up pecans and The Peach Truck Cookbook which is filled with ideas of how to enjoy all of those peaches.
The truck will stop at places that have large parking lots, such as the Peddler's Mall in Hillview.
They will give you tips on how to make your peaches last as long as possible and also when will be the best time to eat them for the freshest, juiciest flavor.
If pick up isn't an option for you, The Peach Truck will also ship their peaches directly to you!
When The Peach Truck visits Kentucky, any peach lover is sure to be in heaven. We have lots of wonderful, fresh food here in the Bluegrass State, but we're excited to welcome fresh, Georgia peaches to Kentucky this summer.
If summer had a flavor, peach would definitely rank as a top choice and there is nothing like a perfectly sweet and juicy peach on a hot, sunny day. Order your own box of Georgia peaches now and pick them up when The Peach Truck visits Kentucky and shares that southern love with the Bluegrass State.
