The peach and its companion are looking fresh!
[Kathy & Ron - Summer 2019, 09/18/2019]The Big Peach is an inside store with an old fashioned farmer's stand design and feel inside. It was just remodeled and re-opened and it is a beautiful place to shop. And it is easy to find because the Big Peach still sits out front.
[Kelli, 05/14/2016]The dent in the tower next to The Big Peach happened during a very large storm in which wind blew the tower over onto the peach. I have lived here and remember it happening when I was a teenager.

A giant peach and dented yellow obelisk stand out in front of a market, where at the time watermelons were being grown.
Upon closer inspection of the peach, I noticed some flaking of the paint, and the edge of the leaves were beginning to crumble. However, overall it was still in great shape. The obelisk remains dented, but is holding its true form in the sun.
