PeachTrees on Peachtree

You didn't go to a festival. You walked into a living orchard.

Pearson Farm and Atlanta Way 2.0 planted two live, fruit-bearing peach orchards in the heart of downtown Atlanta. PeachFest 2026 happened beneath the canopy — a first in Atlanta history.

For Chefs

Your Food. Your Stage.

At PeachFest 2026, 50 chefs and bartenders owned their stations, built their dishes from the ground up, and served a crowd that came specifically to eat. Year 13 is coming — the peaches are from Pearson Farm, at no cost to you. You bring the philosophy.
