Jones Orchard, Millington, Tenn.

Jones Orchard (7170 US Highway 51 N, Millington, Tenn.)  Those of you who think things are best enjoyed after hard work (or, those of you who are super picky) should make a trip to Jones Orchard. The orchard has patches of pick-your-own peaches, blackberries and strawberries, as well as a small farmers market and restaurant. It's about 30 minutes north of downtown on Highway 51.

HI! I am the (relatively) new marketing and communications coordinator for the City of Germantown. We are re-branding our Farmers' Market to the Germantown Farmers' Market at the Farm Park. It seems people didn't necessarily know where the Park or Market is located. :) Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can buy fresh crowder peas? I don't mind driving to North Mississippi to find them.
