The Chattooga County 4-H program and the Chattooga County Extension Office are currently conducting their annual Georgia Peach Sale, a vital fundraiser supporting local youth development programs. For years, the Extension Office has partnered with the renowned Dickey Farms in Musella, Georgia, to bring fresh, delicious Georgia peaches to Chattooga County residents, all while supporting a worthy cause. Dickey Farms, steeped in history, has been a cornerstone of Georgia’s peach industry since 1897. Robert L. Dickey, captivated by the Elberta peach, planted his first 30 acres of trees, laying the foundation for what would become a thriving family business.  Inspired by the Elberta peach, Robert L. Dickey planted his initial orchard in 1897, marking the official birth of Dickey Farms. In 1936, he constructed the iconic packing house using lumber sourced directly from his property. Today, Dickey Farms remains a family affair, operated by multiple generations of the Dickey family. More than just a peach farm, it’s a testament to family heritage, a local landmark, and a destination where visitors can immerse themselves in the heart of Georgia’s vibrant peach industry. Support Chattooga County 4-H and enjoy the taste of summer! Order your delicious Dickey Farms Georgia Peaches today by calling the Chattooga County Extension Office at 706-857-0744.
