Owners Stephen and Jessica Rose say they work with passionate growers and deliver peaches to customers within days, so the flavor and texture is different from the fruit you'll find at the grocery store.
The Peach Truck began when the Roses moved to Nashville in 2010 and longed for the quality of the peaches from where Stephen grew up in Peach County, Georgia. So they loaded up their 1964 Jeep Gladiator with peaches and brought them back to Nashville.
Since then, The Peach Truck has grown into a national lifestyle brand, delivering millions of pounds of peaches through the tour and home delivery. The Roses have published a Peach Truck cookbook. There's also merchandise and other peachy products for sale that you can get at the pop-up events.
Speaking of events - multiple are coming up in West Michigan! How it works is your pre-order your special peach box and then pick it up when The Peach Truck comes to town. You can talk all things peaches with the folks running the tour and grab peach-related foods and merchandise.
