It has been an extraordinary Peach Season in Georgia.

The state is third in peach production behind California and South Carolina.

Georgia’s 6 large growers reported yields up by 25% and some of the best tasting peaches they have had in years.

Marianne Gardner went to Peach County, Georgia to find out why the fruit did so well this year.

The photos were taken by Virginie Kippelen.
