Jaemor Farms is a locally owned 500 acre property, located in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains. Here, you will find fresh grown produce, local cheeses and honey, and Jaemor Farms original homemade baked goods (baked pie, fried pie, cakes, breads), sauces, pickles, jams, jellies, ciders, ice cream and boiled peanuts.
Harvesting crops on this land has been a family tradition for more than 105 years. Today, members of the Echols family work in the fields, bakery, and market.
Saturday, August 5th, they hosted the annual Peach Festival. Attendees were invited to pick their own peaches for $30 per half bushel.
I am dressed head to toe in J.Crew. I found this Summer’s collection to be perfect for the outdoors and easily dressed up or down (picking peaches on a farm or dinner al fresco in the city) with the addition of jewelry and wedge heels.
Jaemor Farms honey is delicious specifically because the pollen that is gathered by their bees to produce the honey is from a combination of peach, apple, blackberry, strawberry and varieties of squash plants.
Shelly (with Jaemor Farms) helped us navigate the orchard and find the best peaches, ready to pick.
After picking our peaches, we headed to the market for peach ice-cream and a variety of other peachy delights.
Among the smorgasbord of peachy varieties, they offer many more beverages, baked goods, sauces, and jams, all featuring fresh local ingredients. I picked up some Vidalia Onion BBQ sauce, a jar of artichoke spread, and of course some hot boiled peanuts. The entire market smelled sweet of the peach and cinnamon pecan bread.
Look to their website for events this Fall including “Date Night”, pumpkin patch and corn maze.
