Dickey Farms: Georgia's Oldest Peach Packinghouse

A Multigenerational Legacy of Growing the Sweetest Georgia Peaches

For over 125 years, Dickey Farms has been dedicated to growing the finest, most flavorful peaches in the heart of Georgia. As the state's oldest continuously operating peach packinghouse, our family-owned farm has a rich history rooted in agricultural innovation and a passion for sharing the bounty of our land.

Honoring Tradition, Embracing Progress

In 1936, Robert L. "Mr. Bob" Dickey built our iconic white packinghouse using lumber from his own property. At the time, the facility was strategically located near rail lines to efficiently transport our peaches to peach-hungry markets in the North. Mr. Bob was a true pioneer, introducing labor-saving equipment like Georgia's first brushing machine to remove peach fuzz, as well as a hydro-cooling system that preserved the fruit's freshness.

Though the industry has evolved, our commitment to quality has never wavered. Today, our peaches travel by refrigerated truck, but they are still handpicked at the peak of ripeness and rushed to your door. As a multigenerational family business, we take pride in upholding the Dickey legacy, passing down expertise from one generation to the next.

Savor the Sweetness of Georgia

Whether you visit our charming farm market or order our peaches online, you'll discover the unparalleled flavor that makes Georgia peaches a summertime treasure. Our diverse orchard offers a wide range of varieties, from the juicy, low-acid "Sweet Peaches" to the classic Elberta, known for its large size and easy-to-peel skin.

Explore our selection of freestone peaches, prized for their ability to easily separate from the pit. These versatile fruits are perfect for baking, canning, and simply enjoying fresh. Our clingstone peaches, harvested first each season, boast a delicate texture and rich sweetness that shine in cobblers, jams, and more.
