This Peach Cobbler Recipe Takes Yakima Valley Peaches to the Next Level

Jones Farms has a recipe on their website that really whets my appetite and awakens the foodie in me: Southern Bourbon Peach Cobbler! It calls for six (6) Jones Farms peaches of different varieties and two tablespoons of the bourbon of your choice.

Try finding peaches at family-owned stands like Jones Farms (2020 Thacker Rd in Granger) and fruit stands like McIlrath Farm and Market (10 Old Naches Highway) in Naches.
