Corporate Fields: The Transformation of Georgia's Peach Country

In our final episode, we explore how the acquisition of foreclosed family peach orchards by corporate agricultural firms has transformed both farming practices and community dynamics in central Georgia. Through parallel stories of the historic Williams family orchard's foreclosure and its subsequent corporate operation, we examine the shift in labor practices, community relationships, and agricultural methods. The episode contrasts the multi-generational knowledge of family orchardists with corporate farming protocols, revealing what's gained and lost when agriculture transitions from family to corporate ownership.
