| - This isn't a gas station - it's a store, restaurant, ice cream shop, bakery, and butcher shop that happens to sell gas. You will think the place would be huge, but it's actually fairly small yet laid out very ergonomically. This is technically "The New Peach Stand" with the orginal, true little Peach Stand that only sells produce seasonally right across the street.
The new Peach Stand is where the Springs Family sells a lot of stuff from their farms, including peaches (some grown across the street) and strawberries grown up the road on the Anne Springs Close Greenway. They use these peaches and berries in the ice cream they sell in their ice cream shop and those are delicious. They also use them in their fresh cider-style donuts which are amazing when fresh.
With all of this going one, why only 3 stars? Well, first the prices on a lot of stuff is high. When you sell your own stuff, there's no middle man, so it should be cheap, not to mention you're not paying for shipping. The butcher shop doesn't offer a whole of seafood which stinks, and everything is pricey. Some of the stuff served in the cafe like collards and beans come from a can (note that some of this is fresh though). The cafe is reasonably priced though and they even have some vegetarian and organic options. The cafe has a few dine-in tables (counter service), but is only open for breakfast and lunch, so I rarely go.
The Peach Stand is definitely worth a visit if you're in this part of Fort Mill, but I wouldn't make a special trip to visit it.
