Franklin County is home to more than 20 farm stands, farmers markets, and locally owned grocery stores where peaches are plentiful this August. Local produce is the freshest option, with the most nutrients and flavor. There are lots of ways to enjoy locally made peach products.

With a dash of hot sauce, a little honey, peach preserves and chunks of peaches, it is a perfect peach glaze for summer grilling. JanZell Wines, now located in Jim's Farmers Market on Grant Street in Chambersburg, offers refreshing peach wines…while supplies last.
