Things are peachy

Everything is about to get peachy.A fundraiser kicks off today that’s offering local organizations the chance to sell boxes of peaches for $25 and earn $10 profit for their group for every box that’s sold.Peach orders are being accepted now for a July 13 delivery date. Mid-July was selected because that’s the time of year for peaches to reach their flavorful peak.The mouth-watering peaches are grown by Sean and Ashleigh Lennon at Fitzgerald Fruit Farms in Woodbury, Ga. They will be delivered to McMinnville 24 to 48 hours after being hand-picked. Each box contains 9 to 10 pounds of peaches, which is 21 to 24 peaches per box.Four local schools have already signed up to participate in peach sales – Irving College, Covenant Academy, West Elementary and Warren Academy.
