And we did! Within an hour of arriving in Montgomery we had been told that peaches from Georgia can't hold a candle to the local ones from Chilton County. This weekend, we went to check out that claim. We visited Durbin Farms, located right along I-65 under a giant peach - which apparently is only visible from the highway. If we ever find it while not driving, I will take a picture and post it. Promise!
For now, we had to make do with the portable sized fruits.
Mountains and mountains upon peaches, in all shapes, forms, and sizes. Naturally, we started with the peach ice cream on top of a peach cobbler. Forget visions of sugar plums, I shall be dreaming about this forever.
As an added bonus, Durbin Farms also sells Scuppernong Cider. I now have proof that it is a real thing, and yummy!
During our travels this weekend, we also came across a flea market in Wetumpka, AL. It wasn't quite the kind of flea market I remember from Germany with old, handmade furniture, boxes full of books, Lederhosen worn by David Hasselhoff, etc. This one had different kind of wares on offer. If you are ever in need of wood-carved squirrels, household cleaners, or, let's say, peacocks, let me know. I will be able to point you in the right direction. Fear not, if you were to get hungry. That is also taken care of in Wetumpka.
Thank you for traveling with me today!
Until next time,
Nadine
Wow. Peaches have already gone out of season here, I am pretty sure. Alabama does not seem THAT far away...
