Peaches 
	- While a relatively small crop producing just $2.9 million dollars in receipts, peaches are one of the many fruits and vegetables produced in Virginia. Virginia has a large and diverse agriculture industry because of it’s temperate climate. You will not find tropical fruits or vegetables growing in Virginia but you will find watermelons, grapes, apples, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet corn, cucumbers, snap beans, cabbage, peaches and more. Peaches are grown in orchards all over Virginia.
