It’s peach season in Georgia and one of our favorite places to celebrate is just a short drive from #GainesvilleGA!🍑
Jaemor Farm has been a North Georgia staple for generations, known for its deep roots in the farming community and its unbeatable homegrown peaches. Don’t leave without trying a peach milkshake, a scoop of peach ice cream, or one of their famous handpies!
📍5340 Cornelia Hwy, Alto GA
Trust us, it’s worth the trip!
