One wonderful thing about summer is all the sweet fruits we can enjoy…
While traveling on a country road, we came across the cutest fruit & veggie stand!
The lady behind the counter was so nice and had the best country accent!
I just wanted to sit and continue talking and getting to know her.
She’s one of those people who makes you feel
as if you’re a friend, not just someone stopping to
buy the beautiful fruit for sale.
We passed the stand many times during our time off this summer,
and each time there were people there, buying different fruits & veggies.
These were locals who knew the fruit was well worth stopping for.
You can’t really tell here, but the peaches were huge! They were the biggest
I’ve ever seen!
And they. were. SO. delicious!!
We went back to the fruit stand several times during our stay.
We were never disappointed.
We also bought a few other items, but the peaches were my favorite!
I’ve always been skeptical about stopping to buy anything by the side of the road.
I think I’ve only ever bought honey. But now I know that some stands offer
great local, organic, delicious, and very reasonably-priced bounty from their farms!
I’m sure y’all already knew that… it just took me a while to find out 🙂
Enjoy the fruits & veggies of late, late summer before they’re all gone!
Happy end-of-summer,
Daisy
I’m so glad you stopped and then shared about it! We have a favorite apple orchard we’ll be visiting pretty soon! God bless you!
Apple orchard! Wow, that sounds wonderful!! We were on vacation one year near a huge apple orchard… They had a little country store with everything from apple cider to pies… My husband’s favorite was the apple fritters! It was a neat place. Our children were still young and even though it was a long time ago, we still talk about it with lots of fond memories.
Where we live there are quite a few Mennonite families who sell there produce at our local farmers markets. This year we had some of the best peaches we’ve ever had….so I know what you mean. Alas, my husband stopped yesterday…no more peaches…we’re at season’s end. Thanks for sharing…your photo of your peaches are so enticing…makes my mouth water.
No more peaches?! Oh, dear! 🙂
I guess I’ll have to look forward to next year!
The peaches look delicious. I love fruit stands like the one you describe in this post.
They were very tasty! 🙂
We have a little stand, just down the road, were we go for corn. The farmer actually walks into the field and picks the corn while you stand there! I love that!
Wow, that sounds amazing!
One local farm puts up a huge blue-striped tent along a busy road and has a wonderful market from June through October. It’s a wonderful place to shop.
Those peaches are amazing.

That sounds like so much fun! I’ll definitely have to keep my eyes open for more of those next summer!
I am a fan of farmer’s markets and roadside stands! Your peaches look luscious!
Since the first time I went to our farmer’s market, I became a fan. Now, I’ll be keeping an eye out for roadside stands as well. 🙂
Yum!
Yes, they sure were worth every penny! 🙂
Daisy, I really like how you captured the sun shining on the bowl of peaches in the second to last picture. Beautiful!

Thanks, Wendy 🙂
Beautiful post Daisy. We are enjoying peaches here before they run out with the end of summer– but haven’t seen golden huge peaches like these!
Thanks so much, Rhonda! Have a blessed weekend! 🙂
