The very best peaches in the nation.
They are good peaches, but we prefer GA peaches. JMO…
Yes! And you can pick your own.
We make several trips a year to Chilton County for peaches and produce, it really is the best around. The fresh peach ice cream is a special treat.
I was raised in Shelby Co. Now live in Pensacola Fl their are people saying their peaches are from Chilton Co I confronted them saying those are not Chilton Co peaches. They were none to happy,then asked me how do I know? I then told them I was raised in Shelby Co I know what a Chilton Co peach looks like. Needless to say I didn’t make friends that day! Lol
I am from Chilton County and very proud of it!!!!!
Julie that has happened to me, when I lived in Fl buying peaches at a road side stand. I know the difference.
My ancestors were among the first settlers in Chilton county. They also founded one of the first Baptist Churchs before Alabama became a state,Mulberry Church. My 3rd great Grandmother was Creek. Still have family in the area.
My ancestors were Creek. Campbell’s
amen
My wife and I used to live in Hoover and our folks lived in Mobile, so we saw the peach regularly. When our girls were little we used to call it the peach “butt”.
There are none better!
Sorry. I’ve lived in Alabama most of my life, but I cannot tell a lie, the best peaches are in Spartanburg, S.C. They are as big as softballs and sweet, juicy and firm. They can be spiced and canned to eat during Winter or made into a peach cobbler and the trees grow so lush and close to the road you could just reach out from your car window and pick one. I was ringing up a sale for a customer years ago who happened to be friends with Paula Deen (from Georgia, aka, the Peach State). She was so friendly and funny and I wasn’t going to say anything, but she said it first, South Carolina has the best peaches! lol
I’m living here in Alabama (for three years), but I’m from the Upstate of South Carolina, PEACH COUNTRY! I can’t agree more. I know people around here think Chilton County has good peaches, but only if they’ve never had a peach from the SC Upstate. They are absolutely the best! BTW…SC grows more peaches than Georgia. Second most in the country. Only California grows more than South Carolina.
Oh, and SC has a peach water tower too. It’s in Gafney, SC on I-85.
Best peaches on earth
The best peaches
But I went there anticipating one of their fried peach pies and to my dismay, as I walked around the back, there was a huge pallet of gallon cans of sliced delmonte peaches.
Ruined it for me.
shout out to Byron Georgia, peach country!
Mighty good !
They taste just like the ones at Scott’s Orchard to me.
Peach Park in Clanton is the best place in Alabama for peaches.
