2025 promises to be a great year for Georgia's peaches
Primary Content
Many of Georgia's favorite fruits and vegetables are looking good this year, thanks to favorable weather conditions during the growing season.
Two years ago, you might have had a hard time finding Georgia-grown peaches in produce sections across the state.
But this year, peaches, strawberries, and blueberries are all flourishing, thanks to more chill hours and favorable frost conditions.
Pam Knox, who's the Director of the University of Georgia Weather Network, said farmers are even having to thin out their plants, so their fruit reaches a marketable size.
“Some years the frost kind of does the thinning for them, but this year they're having to do it either mechanically or chemically,” she said.
Additionally, the Vidalia onion harvest is underway, and with a pack date of April 15, you should see them at local farmers markets and in grocery stores soon.
