Dickey Farms
Peaches From the Georgia Heartland Since 1897
Dickey Farms has been growing peaches in the heartland of Georgia since 1897, and it’s proud to be home to Georgia’s oldest continuously operating peach packinghouse. Built by Robert L. “Mr. Bob” Dickey in 1936, the long white building remains a prominent landmark in historic Musella, Georgia. In the early days, Dickey Farms used mules to plow the orchards and transport peaches to the packinghouse. Mr. Bob implemented some revolutionary technology, including Georgia’s first peach fuzz-removing brushing machine and one of the first hydro-cooling systems to remove field dust and slow the ripening process.
Mr Bob shipped all his fruit in refrigerated railroad cars, but today they’re shipping nationwide overnight! The Dickey family still runs the farm today, and takes pride in shipping the sweetest, juiciest peaches straight from the heart of Georgia to your door!
