A limited number of peaches will be available from 12-2 p.m. today in Owensboro when The Peach Truck returns to Rural King for their first local stop of the summer. Walkups are available one a first-come, first-serve basis. The truck will return again on July 12, and pre-orders are available for that date.
Prior to next month’s visit, customers can order their peaches at thepeachtruck.com.
Founder Steven Rose spent his high school years in Owensboro but grew up in Georgia. In 2010, he moved to Nashville but was disappointed that he couldn’t find the flavorful peaches he grew up loving in the Peach State.
In 2012, he decided to do something about it.
With his wife Jessica, he bought a ’64 Jeep truck and started selling Georgia peaches out of it.
In just a little more than a month, patrons bought more than 10 tons of peaches and the two were in business.
Along with the two stops in Owensboro, The Peach Truck also makes stops in nearly 30 states across the country.
