Peach Picking
A few weeks back the family and I ventured down to Wilcox to Apple Annie's Orchard for some classic peach picking. During the Peach Festival there is an all you can eat peach pancake breakfast. We decided to go later in the day. When we first arrived we took a hay ride (minus the hay) around the farm then we gathered a couple of provided buckets and long handled peach pickers for the too-high-to-reach peaches. After filling one bucket and tasting the delicious peaches off the tree (yes, tasting is allowed) we went to the hamburger stand for Apple-Smoked Burger, chips and beans. Next, we ordered slices of pie with vanilla ice cream from the bakery and let me tell you it was the best peach pie I have ever had. One of my stepsons had the apple pie and he also said it was delish. We even met The Annie and a nice lady she is.
This weekend (August 18th and 19th) is the final weekend of the Peach Festival.
If you go peach picking my suggestions are to go early (it opens at 6:30 am), wear sunscreen and a hat, bring water, and don't forget your camera!
