PECANS ON PEACHTREE
From the trunks of cars to a thriving year-round fundraiser, Pecans on Peachtree is gearing up to have another great holiday season! We are continuing to partner with Pearson Farm, a 135-year-old family farm to provide you with the best Georgia peaches and pecans around. One hundred percent of the net proceeds of all Pecans on Peachtree sales directly benefit the patients and families at Shepherd Center.

ABOUT PEARSON FARM
Pearson Farm is honored to partner with Shepherd Center as the exclusive provider for the Pecans On Peachtree fundraiser. For more than 135 years, the land known as Pearson Farm has supported the growth of authentic Georgia-grown pecans and peaches as well as the growth of the five generations of family that pioneered it. The core elements remain the same today - good soil, hard work, family, and faith. The hope and heart from the very beginning is to share the bounty the farm provided - peaches, pecans, and wonderful things made in the kitchen - and that remains the passion today.
