Cult favorite The Peach Truck brings surprise two-day tour to Houston amidst struggling peach harvest

After extreme winter weather, The Peach Truck’s farms in Georgia and South Carolina lost more than 90 percent of this year's crop, according to Wes Thaller, a company spokesperson.

“We’ve actually had to dial way back this year,” Thaller said. “We cut what we were expecting to sell by anywhere from a third to even two-thirds of what we originally projected just because of the short crop.”But with the peach crop bouncing back these next few weeks, The Peach Truck could schedule four surprise tours for this weekend. Including the stop in Houston, the company will be in three Florida locations, Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa.

In Houston, The Peach Truck hopes to sell around 50,000 pounds of peaches to Houstonians on the two-day tour — 1,250 bushels or about 180,000 individual peaches.
