Taylor Orchards

What Taylor Orchards does

Taylor Orchards is a fourth-generation, family-owned farm (Taylor Orchard Properties, LLC) operating in Reynolds, Georgia, within the state's "famous peach belt." The business cultivates over 3,600 acres of sweet Georgia peaches across more than 30 varieties and operates a 15-acre U-pick strawberry patch with an accompanying Strawberry Barn retail outlet. The company sells peaches online through its sister company Lane Southern Orchards during the May–August peach season and sells strawberries (both U-pick and pre-picked) directly at the farm from roughly late March through early summer. Operations sit under the broader Southern Orchards umbrella.

The company serves individual consumers and families seeking fresh, locally grown produce and authentic farm experiences. Its core go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via three channels: physical farm sales at the Strawberry Barn, U-pick field experiences, and e-commerce through Lane Southern Orchards. Underlying technology is not specifically disclosed; the company states only that it uses "cutting edge technology" in growing and packing operations to ensure quality. No proprietary software, platform, AI, or automation systems are described in available sources.

Revenue mechanics are seasonal and consumption-based: one-time sales of fresh produce (peaches by the box/crate, strawberries by the bucket) and agritourism-style U-pick experiences. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The customer base is fragmented across retail consumers and families with no enterprise or institutional accounts identified. Headcount is reported at 11–50, consistent with a family-operated working farm that likely supplements with seasonal labor. The company holds no disclosed patents, certifications, regulatory actions, or funding events, and operates exclusively within Georgia in the United States.

Product overview

Taylor Orchards is a family-owned and operated farm business that operates as a single unified offering: a traditional agricultural farm that grows and sells fresh produce directly to consumers. The company offers two core products—Georgia Peaches (grown on over 3600 acres with 30+ varieties) and Strawberries (from a 15-acre U-pick patch)—alongside an on-farm Strawberry Barn & Patch experience where visitors can pick their own strawberries or purchase pre-picked berries. The farm began in the 1940s with 200 acres and has grown to over 3600 acres, operated by the Wainwright family across four generations.
