From Peaches to Pink: Why Didn't Anyone Tell Us About Georgia Strawberries?
Turns out, Georgia boasts over 130 acres of strawberry fields, thriving mostly in the southern half where the weather stays toasty.

Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
So, why the secrecy? We have a hunch it might have something to do with those darn peaches demanding all the spotlight. But hey, there's enough sunshine and southern charm to go around, and strawberries deserve their due credit!
