Our Varieties & Picking Times

Bushel of Fredericksburg Peaches

THE 2023 SEASON IS OVER 

Traveling for peaches:

The Hill Country fruit growers all have a much better early crop than late crop. This means you’ll want to come the first part of the season for your peaches & not to wait for freestones as there will not be many. May - Mid-June will be the best time to purchase large volumes of peaches.  A few of our freestone varieties such as Harvester, Red Globe, & Flame Prince have a decent set, but will most likely not be available in 1/2-bushel boxes. As always, we recommend calling before you come.
