Producer

Hyder Farms has been producing peaches for many generations in Upstate SC. They currently grow more than 15 different varieties of cling-stone and freestone peaches. The farm is family-owned and operated by brothers, Brandon and Matt Hyder, and their father, Phillip Hyder. Tending more than 17,000 peach trees on over 1,000 acres of farmland, they sell peaches all over the Southeast, including SC, GA, and FL. It has truly become a family business, with each member supporting the operation in their own, unique way - from pruning, picking and packing, to cooking lunch for the crew. Fruit trees produce fruit just once per year, meaning the Hyder crew spends a lot of time and energy preparing their orchards and taking preemptive measures for the greatest chance of a good crop. It's a one-shot kind of crop. Some years are good, some years are bad. Despite the challenges facing fruit growers, this family farm is passionate about the products they grow and the people they grow for. They are always thinking about the health of their customers and choose Organic inputs when possible and avoid spraying close to harvest. This crew loves what they do and are eager to continue growing delicious peaches long into the future.
