The Sweet Treat

Peaches and that crop’s related farming jobs continue to be central to the Gillespie County economy. Though drought has made this year’s fruits smaller, it has also increased the sugars, so this year’s harvest is full of even sweeter treats.

Here are some peaches and orchards we have featured in past editions.
