Picking persimmons in Sessums
David Reese, who is 59 and soft-spoken, has for almost three decades operated Reese Orchard in Sessums, a rural community in east Oktibbeha County.
There is a sign where customers drive up that says, “Welcome. Please use intercom or honk,” because a lot of times Reese is out and about on the orchard. It is mostly a one-man operation.
