How The Peach Truck Got Its Start

And a bit of cool history: The Peach Truck started pretty small. Founders Stephen and Jessica Rose moved to Nashville in and couldn’t find peaches like the ones Stephen grew up with in Georgia. So in 2012, they went straight to the source, started working with growers, loaded up a truck, and began selling peaches directly to people instead of going through a traditional retail setup.

That idea turned into a full touring operation that now moves millions of pounds of peaches every summer across the country. It’s part pre-order system, part pop-up pickup, and part seasonal ritual at this point.

How To Order From The Peach Truck

Here’s how ordering works. You visit The Peach Truck website, enter your zip code, select your location, and place a pre-order for either a 12-pound or 25-pound box of peaches. Locations can sell out, so ordering sooner rather than later is the safest way to guarantee a box!
