Reeves Farm

Reeves Farm was formed in 1835 near Hartselle by Thomas "Jack" Reeves. The first crops grown on the land were cotton, corn, and vegetables for the family's use. In the early 1950s, watermelons grown on the farm were stacked under the oak trees here and sold to neighbors and people traveling along Highway 36. In 1959, L.L. "Jack" Reeves (the great-grandson of Thomas Reeves) and his son, Donnie established the first peach orchards on the farm. four generations of the Reeves family have been growing peaches, along with other fruits and vegetables for over six decades. They harvest each peach variety over a 7-10 day period in the summer months. Strawberries are harvested from around April 15 until June 10. The varieties grown are Chandler and Camarosa. They have berries available at their market, but they also allow customers to pick their own. They also grow plums, watermelon, cantaloupes, tomatoes, squash, sweet corn, and other vegetables.
