Final Call for Peaches! Here’s One Way to Get Your Fill

The peach, the unofficial mascot of summer, has been in high demand the past few months following a shortage that resulted from some out-of-the-norm winter weather cycles in the Northeast. But luckily, Stephen and Jessica Rose stepped in to keep peach lovers’ pantries stocked across the country.
The husband-wife duo—and team behind Nashville’s wildly popular The Peach Truck—has been transporting peaches all over the South for five years. But the couple stepped up their game in 2013 with the Farm to Porch program, which allows residents of 46 states (excluding Alaska, Arizona, California, and Hawaii) to order a box of Georgia’s finest and have it delivered straight to their stoop. “I love that we can help folks get through a peach-less summer,” Stephen says.
