Millions of peaches
The Peach Truck to return to Memphis on June 16.
Calling all peach lovers.
The Peach Truck is coming back to Memphis on June 16.
This Nashville-based company will deliver 25-pound boxes of fresh sweet Georgia peaches just like it does every summer. Each box is $43. Georgia pecans and “The Peach Truck Cookbook” are also available for purchase.
New this year is that all orders will need to be completed in advance.
A statement on its Facebook page reads, “This year is a bit different over past tour stops and to keep our customers and staff safe, all orders will need to be pre-ordered online. We will not have items during the stop for walk-up purchase.”
The deadline for pre-ordering for the Memphis drop is June 11.
The four pickup locations will be across the Memphis area, offering a convenient option for most Memphians. Locations are Overton Square, Colonial Hardware (6140 Macon
Road), Millstone Nursery (6993 Poplar Ave., Germantown) and Sheffield Antiques Mall (684 W. Poplar Ave., Collierville).
The Peach Truck was founded in 2012 by Jessica and Stephen Rose. When the couple moved to Nashville in 2010, they found that the city was lacking a source for sweet, tree-ripened peaches like Stephen Rose had enjoyed growing up in Georgia. They started their business selling peaches out of the back of their 1964 Jeep Gladiator. Today they ship nationwide and they host a multistate delivery tour that ranges from Texas to Michigan.
