"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. It is our goal to provide customers with the highest quality tree-ripened peaches possible. We harvest each peach variety over a 7-10 day period.
