This Sunday promises to be a fruitful one. The annual Peach Festival offers all things peachy: salsas, candles, cobbler…and of course, farm fresh peaches. A few of the bigger farms—Hazelrig Peach Orchard, Georgia Peach Truck and Melon Patch Farms—will have plenty of peaches just picked Sunday morning. It’s a day when the nearly 200 local artisans at Chattanooga Market will jump in on the theme and offer peach-inspired foods, art, and crafts.
Now is the prime season for produce at Chattanooga Market. Some of the July favorites including okra, blackberries, peaches, tomatoes, blueberries and squashes are all plentiful. Fresh cut flowers continue to impress patrons, too. Nearly two dozen local food trucks will be expected to join the event on Sunday, July 13th, incorporating peaches into their offerings.
