You may think of Georgia and South Carolina, but and Allen County, Kentucky family is growing a successful peach crop right here in the Commonwealth.

>> The woman at the helm of those efforts is receiving statewide recognition for her work.

Our Laura Rogers introduces us to the Kentucky Farm Girl Woman of the year.

>> Farming is more of a challenge than anything I would say.

But it's the most rewarding for sure to get up and be able to do this every day.

Something that you love to do.

>> Corey Thomas says working in agriculture is the only thing she's ever wanted to do to wake up every day and this being my scenery and be able to be outside.

>> Doing what I love.

That's the joy of farming.

A joy that began in childhood and this very farm now known as the Peach Tree Farm and Greenhouse in Scottsville.

>> Growing up, I wanted to do more than my.

That would let me thank his generation was kind of the mindset of it's a man's job.

>> But that mindset is shifting as more women now run their own farms and agribusiness U.S. women like Corey, along with her husband, Micah Suncor, Ben and daughter Carol.

>> With everything we have going on right now, I don't see how court gets it all done.

Now to a 9 in T with 120 peach trees.

Plus pumpkins, sunflowers and corn along with the greenhouse operation.

We raise everything ourselves.

Sweden, hanging baskets, bedding plants, perennials.

And we mentioned the animal.

My responsibility is the fate of respecting every morning.

We had kids getting sick.

>> And then Joe Harris and they sure have.

They cast.

And so.

>> And don't forget, Carol's favorite, my Carolina go.

Amy.

All right.

>> Driving the tractor around in the 14 ahead.

Alright, feeding the cows with mom and dad.

Sometimes.

>> Others also learned from the Thomas is one of them.

This was their 3rd full season welcoming guests.

It's been a great experience to say people enjoying our farm.

We've had people say they've never seen things that they've seen here before.

Like will have school trips come and we educate them on pumpkins and the growth.

We don't have a whole lot of any one thing that we have a little bit of everything.

So whenever.

>> Something doesn't perform as well on the farm.

Then something else can pick up the slack for it.

But the peaches have become a major labor of love.

There's nothing like a locally grown page.

If you lock up each, there's something wrong with you.

You know?

>> They waited 2 years for a good peach crop working around the clock during a chilly Kentucky spring.

My husband actually went out and stayed up all night.

He set fires throughout the whole orchard.

>> And try to create some he so that they wouldn't freeze as it is with farming.

Weather conditions can make or break a crop.

This year we went through drought and then we had a lot of rain.

But Corey says the challenges are worth it to reap the rewards for the accolades like being selected as the Kentucky Farm Bureau Farm Woman of the year got the call.

>> And I screamed out in the first head because I was so excited to know that her hard work has been recognized at the state level is is really something else to make.

>> Now their sights are set on the future is continuing to expand and grow their operation for Kentucky Edition.

I'm Laura Rogers.

>> Thank you, Lauren.

Congrats to Corey.

Corey says those expansion plans include raising more corn and pumpkins and adding another greenhouse next
