Jeffrey Echols picks ripe peaches from Hill Top Orchards Monday afternoon. The Echols family have grown produce from the farm for four generations.
John Zelek and his sister-in-law, Jo Literal, combed the Hall County Farmers Market on a recent Tuesday morning for fresh peaches. Zelek, of Flowery Branch, said he and Literal were going to make a special treat for his wife who’d been recently released from the hospital after having surgery. “Her request was a fresh peach cobbler,” Literal said.
