Visitors come from miles around to sample the produce of Calhoun County and head out into the fields to pick some of the best produce the region has to offer.  Bite into the juiciest peach you'll ever eat and come back for the largest variety of apples around.  While you're visiting, plan a stop at a few of the historic sites, enjoy birdwatching and geocaching in some of the beautiful natural areas, bike and hike the trails or bring your boat for an outdoor adventure you won't soon forget.
