What Our Customers Are Saying

Have enjoyed these for years!

I had my first Peach Buds about 14 years ago! A local restaurant was selling them and I've been hooked ever since. Having been raised near the Sandhills of N.C., I was no stranger to some of THE best peaches around. When I tasted this candy it was like being transported back to summertime peach season in the Sandhills!
