McBee, S.C. (RFD News) — While Georgia may be the state most often associated with peaches, South Carolina remains the leading peach-producing state in the South.
At McLeod Farms, harvest season is in full swing as workers hand-pick peaches from more than 20 varieties grown on the family farm.
After harvest, the peaches are packed and shipped, with much of the fruit reaching consumers in less than 24 hours.
