AlwAyS in SeASon In Georgia, you can harvest and enjoy your juicy peaches, fresh veggies, and tart strawberries – spring’s finest. Keep your eyes open for information about sweet Vidalia onions’ “pack date,” too, signaling when you can pick some up to bring home with you. Dickey Farms in Musella , Georgia’s oldest peach packinghouse, is revered for its fuzzy Clingstone peaches each May. (Fun fact: did you know that the Columbus Clingstones Minor League Baseball team, named for the same peaches, is part of the Southern League and the Double-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves?) Southern Belle Farm in McDonough delivers a bounty of early-spring strawberries so good you’ll crave this sweet and juicy fruit year after year. Or, spend time at Fort Valley ’s Lane Southern Orchards to pick more gorgeous strawberries and even some spring peaches.
