| Description | RIDGE SPRING, S.C. --- Pruning, thinning and harvesting a peach crop is hard, repetitious work, made graceful by experience and speed. Titan Farms field employees are in the second act of the yearlong push to harvest.
Workers are now running their hands up and down lush peach tree branches along 3,900 acres, choosing which pieces of fruit are worthy of staying for the final act, which will send the crop to area homes and markets next month.
The leafy limbs provide little solace from the Southern humidity and heat. Winter is hard, too, with early mornings of below-freezing conditions that numb fingers and chap lips. |
