ALTO — The farmers at Jaemor Farms know quality peaches. And they should, for the past century they have spent every season perfecting the art of growing the perfect Georgia peach. On the 140 acres of peach trees, every year Jaemor produces more than a million pounds of peaches that are snapped up by people from across Northeast Georgia and beyond.
