What is the Peach Truck?

The Peach Truck was established in 2012 by Jessica and Stephen Rose. Since then, the married couple have supplied customers with nationwide shipping and 25 different state tours with a selection of peach products like fresh peaches, jams and salsas.

The Peach Truck’s mission is to continuously work toward practicing sustainable and eco-conscious farming techniques in producing their peach-based products, according to the company’s website.

“We partner directly with GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) or PRIMUS certified hometown farms in the USA where the farmland is cared for just as much as the produce,” according to the company’s mission statement.
