Gustavo Garredo and other pickers harvest strawberries Monday afternoon at Jaemor Farms in Lula. After an unseasonably warm winter, the unpredictable spring weather has presented a challenge for the farm.
From cold snaps to drenching rains, the past few months have presented more than a few challenges for Jaemor Farms in Lula. “It’s been a roller coaster if there’s ever been one,” said Drew Echols, farm manager at the longtime peach grower off Ga. 365. But he’s thankful, especially as he hopes to salvage about 70 percent of this year’s peach crop for the peak summer season.
