Peaches At The Forsyth Farmer’s Market

Peaches
Georgia is known as the “Peach” state, but I hear that South Carolina produces more peaches. When you in this part of the South, the Low Country, you get the best produce from both states. Watsonia Farms is a regular vendor at the Forsyth Farmers’ Market, and they bring pretty peaches every week. Watsonia Farms is a family farm based in Monetta, South Carolina that is nearly 100 years old.
