Why Georgia Peaches?

OUR PEACH GUIDE

Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about peaches.

It’s hard to think of any time better than peach season — when the weather is warm, and the peaches are perfectly ripe, sweet and juicy. Peach season refers to the peak time for picking and enjoying peaches.

Depending on the climate, peach season may occur anywhere between April and October. In general, peach season is during the summer, the ideal time for dining al fresco and feasting on fresh fruit.

If you love biting into a perfectly ripe peach, you need to know the best time to order peaches from each peach-producing state. Lane Southern Orchards can help you learn where peaches are grown, when peach season is by state, how to identify a ripe peach and where to order your peaches from this season.

Where are Peaches Grown?

While the South may be the most well-known for its peaches, there are actually 20 states that commercially produce peaches across the U.S. The total U.S. peach production is over 690,000 tons each year. With such a great annual harvest, the U.S. peach industry has grown to be worth nearly $600 million.

Peach Season by State

Now that you’re familiar with the most popular peach states, it’s time to discuss when peach season starts in each of those states. The harvest time for peaches usually occurs during the warmest months of the year. Because various states have vastly different climates, peach season changes from state to state.

1

Georgia

As the Southern belle of peach season, Georgia is usually one of the first states to start selling peaches each year. Due to the state’s warm climate, Georgia peaches can be ready to harvest as early as mid-May. The first Georgia peaches to mature are the clingstone variety — the kind of peach with flesh that clings to the pit — starting the state’s peach season strong. Semi-cling peaches are the following variety of peaches to mature in Georgia, closely followed by freestons-. These popular peaches have tender flesh that falls away from the peach’s pit, allowing sweet peach juice to drip down your chin. After a summer full of irresistibly juicy peaches, the Georgia peach season wraps up around mid-August.

2

South Carolina

South Carolina’s peach season starts a bit later than Georgia’s and ends around the same time. The slightly colder climate of South Carolina means its peaches are ready for harvest further into the summer. The peach harvest in South Carolina lasts from May through August.

3

North Carolina

Similar to South Carolina, North Carolina’s peach season runs from early June to September. However, the peak of peach season in North Carolina is definitely July. In July, peach fanatics can find orchards throughout North Carolina producing up to 70 different varieties of peaches, each boasting its unique taste.

4

Florida

Florida’s year-round warm climate makes it a powerhouse peach producer. The state’s harvest season starts early March through mid-May. Despite this relatively short harvest season, the flavorful, juicy peaches that Florida produces prove that the Sunshine State can grow far more than just citrus fruit.

5

California

California’s excellent soil conditions, vast farmland, mild winters and hot, dry summers make it the perfect place for growing peaches. California produced approximately 56% of the nation’s fresh peach crop in 2017. The harvest time for all these California peaches begins in mid-July through mid-September.

6

Pennsylvania

The warm summer climate of Pennsylvania makes the state an ideal destination for growing peaches. Pennsylvania peach farmers can rely on cool springs with minimal frost and hot, dry summers — the perfect conditions for producing peaches. Peach harvest time in Pennsylvania starts in mid-July through mid-September.

7

New Jersey

New Jersey is known as the Garden State for a reason — the state’s mild climate creates excellent conditions for producing crops. In particular, New Jersey produces plenty of peaches each year. However, the state’s temperate weather sets its harvest season back a bit to early July through mid-September.

8

Idaho

Idaho’s cold, long winters don’t give way to warm temperatures until at least June. This delay of warm weather pushes the Idaho peach harvest to August. Farmers can pick peaches in Idaho through October, so the long wait for peach season to begin is worth it.

9

Colorado

Colorado gets 300 days of sunshine each year, making the state the perfect place for raising crops. Thanks to all this sunlight, Colorado enjoys a long peach season running from August and September. Many of the peaches harvested in Colorado orchards are of the juicy freestone variety.

10

Michigan

Michigan’s cold climate makes the state’s peach season shorter than most. However, Michigan still produces a significant number of delicious peaches every year. The harvest season for Michigan’s peaches starts in mid to late July and wraps up around the end of September.

Why Is Georgia Known for Peaches?

If multiple states have a peach season, why are peaches from Georgia so famous? Peaches from Georgia are widely recognized for their superior flavor, appearance and texture. Along with being sweeter and jucier than other peaches, Georgia peaches boast excellent nutritious qualities. Eating Georgia-grown peaches can help people maintain a healthy, well-balanced diet.

The quality of Georgia peaches is so remarkable that Georgia’s nickname is the “Peach State.” In 1995, the peach became Georgia’s official state fruit, even though it produces fewer peaches than other peach-growing states. Georgia bears this nickname proudly, featuring a peach on the U.S. Mint’s Georgia quarter. Because of Georgia’s reputation for superior peaches, crowds of people flock to the state’s orchards each season.

How to Tell if Peaches Are Ripe

Going to an orchard, the farmers market or even your local grocer during peach season doesn’t guarantee that all the peaches will be ripe. Help yourself avoid biting into an unripened peach by learning how to identify a perfectly juicy peach. Here are the main characteristics to look for when purchasing peaches:

Skin: A peach’s skin is one of the most reliable ripeness indicators. If you notice wrinkles around the stem of a peach, it means the fruit is ripe and ready to eat. The wrinkles show that water has begun evaporating from the peach, intensifying the peach’s sweetness and bringing it to peak flavor.
Color: Ideally, you want your peach to have a deep, golden yellow color. Steer clear of any peaches with hints of green, which means it’s under-ripe, or a red blush resulting from sun exposure.
Touch: Select peaches that are soft to the touch if you want a delightfully drippy, sweet peach eating experience.
Scent: Search for peaches that smell sweet. If a peach has no aroma, it won’t taste as good as a sweetly-scented peach.

Before combining, chop your garlic and dice your jalapeño peppers. Combine them in a large bowl, adding the preserves, olive oil, soy sauce and dijon mustard. Stir thoroughly and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.  You'll want to set aside some of the glaze to add to the top of your chicken when it's time to eat.

Our recipe is easy-to-make and will be a home run with your family or guests. Preheat your grill and thoroughly coat each grate with oil to prevent any sticking.  Grill your peaches for 2 to 4 minutes until they are tender and start to brown. Once your peaches are cool, dice them and mix them in a large bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Mix them lightly and add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside until the chicken is ready.  Cooking the Chicken Cut your boneless, skinless chicken breasts in half and sparingly cover each side with olive oil, salt and pepper. Throw them on the already-heated grill, and cook them for roughly 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. When you flip, you should also baste them with your peach glaze.  You'll know they're ready when they reach an internal temperature of 160-165 degrees Fahrenheit or when their juices run clear. Remove them from your grill and let them stand for 7 to 10 minutes. Before serving, top your chicken with a hefty amount of salsa, serve over rice and enjoy!  More Ways to Prepare Your Chicken While grilling your chicken results in unique, bursting flavors, we know it's not for everyone. Luckily, no matter how you love preparing chicken, you can easily slide it into this recipe. Some other ways you can prepare your chicken include:  Baked chicken: Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and bake your chicken for roughly 20 minutes, or until it reaches 160-165 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to flip halfway and coat them with the peach glaze.  Slow cooker chicken: If you're on the go, throw all your ingredients into a slow cooker and let it cook for around 4 hours. When it's ready to go, you and your family will enjoy a tender chicken that will work in burritos, sandwiches, nachos, salads and over rice.  Sauteed chicken: Grab a shallow pan and cook your chicken for 5-7 minutes on both sides. You should brush the glaze on throughout and add any leftovers to the top of the chicken when it's time to dig in.  Tips to Bring Your Peach Salsa Chicken Recipe to Life Check out the following tips to take this easy peach salsa recipe to the next level:  Add some spice: If you enjoy a fiery zing in your meal, consider adding a few sprinkles of cayenne pepper and red chili pepper flakes to your chicken glaze.  Cook chicken with even thickness: Before cooking your chicken, you should slice your chicken evenly and pound until each piece is roughly the same thickness.  Find the right pairings: You'll drastically enhance your meal with super additions — we recommend serving it over rice and enjoying it with a fresh salad, green beans or Brussels sprouts.  Source Your Peaches From Lane Southern Orchards If you want to make this dish stand out, use our fresh Georgia peaches that we handpick right from our 5,000-acre orchard.

Candied Pecans

Candied Pecans

If you're looking for a simple, sweet and salty snack, you've come to the right place. These crunchy candied pecans can be prepared in under 10 minutes and make the perfect holiday treat or salad topper. Ingredients To make these easy and delicious candied pecans, you will only need six primary ingredients, with some additional options for extra flavor. 6 tablespoons brown sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 tablespoons water 2 cups Lane pecan halves Pinch cayenne pepper, to taste (optional) 2 teaspoons orange zest (optional) Directions Line a regular-sized baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, sea salt, vanilla and water in a small bowl. Sprinkle in the cayenne pepper and orange zest if you'd like. Stir until mostly combined — it is fine if the sugar and salt don't completely dissolve. Place this mixture next to the stovetop, as this recipe goes quickly. Toast your pecans for 2-3 minutes in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent them from burning. Once a lovely nutty aroma fills the room, your pecans are ready to be candied. Drizzle the sugar mixture quickly into the saucepan with the pecans, constantly stirring for about 15 seconds. Once the pecans are thoroughly coated, remove them from the heat. Spread out the candied pecans on your lined baking sheet and set out to cool. The pecans will be sticky at first, but the coating will harden within a few hours. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for weeks at a time.
