General Info

The McLeod Farms operates a peach orchard that grows 22 varieties on 400 acres of sandy loam. The orchards have been in the McLeod family since 1916. The company also farms seedless blackberries, strawberries, apples, pecans, sweet potatoes, raisins and honey. Its peach products include butter, salsa, pickled and dessert peach halves. The company produces ciders in varieties such as peach, apple and scuppernong. McLeod Farms also offers fruit butter and preserves. The McLeod farm features a variety of high-tech equipment including a modern-drip irrigation system and wind machine. To prevent frost damage, these machines blow warmer upper air down to ground level. Hail prevention apparatuses are used to soften hail by generating sound frequencies to protect fruit against damage.
