Peaches are roadside market-fresh from this Georgia farm since the 1890s.

In fact, the Old Zenith School is where the peach packing is done, and during peach season, from mid-May through mid-August, walk-in customers are welcome at the packing house. In addition to fresh-from-the-farm peaches, Pearson Farm also sells delicious peach ice cream made from its own tree-ripened peaches so good it has been acclaimed in Southern Living Magazine. And come October, scoop up a bag of pecans from the Pearson pecan grove for your holiday baking.
