Windblow is an unincorporated crossroads community on the border of Montgomery and Richmond counties, North Carolina, United States.[1] Located at the intersection of North Carolina Highway 73 and NC State Road 1003, Windblow is an agricultural community.[2] Windblow is noted for its peach production; it is the namesake for the Winblo variety of peach. This particular peach, and many others, was developed at the Sandhills Research Station, a facility operated by North Carolina State University, one mile north of the crossroads. The community has a small grocery store and a trucking business in addition to the area farms.
