Episode 207 - Georgia's Sweet Treat   addthis
There are few tastes of summer more symbolic and succulent than the first bite of a juicy peach! Of course, the fuzzy fruit is often associated with the peach state. Pat McConahay recently paid a visit to a Georgia family farm that’s been raising peaches for a hundred years and discovering new ways to share them with fruit lovers across the country.
