Peaches!!!

We've been in Georgia now for half a month and it's about time we try some authentic Georgia peaches. We went to the Lane Packing Peach Orchard to see what it was all about. We went on a self-guided tour of the plant and watched peaches go from crates off the tree to crates that go to the grocery store. They have a "you pick" but it's only for strawberries and they're not in season right now so we bought some fresh peaches to take home and some peach cider to try.

Peaches come in from the orchard
Then they're washed and waxed
Then each peach gets its own sticker and its picture taken to determine color and sizeThen, based on the size and/or color the peaches are pushed through specific holes in this conveyor so that they can be boxed up with similar peaches. This is where they go after they fall through the belt and then they're boxed up from here

Off to the grocery store
