"The collaboration with Pearson Farm's delicious peaches and Savannah's exceptional culinary community has been genuinely inspiring," stated Mandy Garola, Vice President of CURE Childhood Cancer in South Georgia. "Each delightful peach creation brings us one step closer to a cure for these courageous children battling cancer. Peach Week is more than a yummy dessert; it's an opportunity to bring more awareness to CURE and, in turn, impact lives."
Located in Fort Valley, approximately 25 miles southwest of Macon, Ga., Pearson Farm is a fifth-generation, family-owned farm offering fresh peaches, pecans, preserves, flavored pecans, and wholesome baked goods from its on-location bakery, Mary’s Kitchen. The farm ships both fresh produce and specialty items to restaurants and home kitchens around the country.
Kyle Barfield of Pearson Farm stated, "Our continued partnership with CURE Childhood Cancer for Peach Week in Savannah is something we deeply value. Community support is central to our ethos, and we can't think of a more vital cause than the fight against childhood cancer. We eagerly anticipate the inventive peach creations from these talented chefs, knowing that each delicious bite contributes meaningfully to the lives of children and families facing this disease."
