Sweet, juicy, and slightly fuzzy, we could only be talking about one thing- peaches, of course! Fredericksburg Texas renders some of the best peaches in the country, and we’re lucky enough to only live a short drive away. Growing up, I can vividly remember going to peach orchards in Fredericksburg with my mom, grandma and sister and picking more peaches than we even knew what to do with. The warm sunshine and soft sweet peach aroma fully encompasses you and seems to set your worries aside for the day, allowing you to just be totally and completely present. We’ve put together a list of some of Fredericksburg’s favorite orchards and road-side stands and stores where you can pick your own straight off the tree, or choose from the cream of the crop that have already been harvested for you!
One thing to keep in mind while planning your peach picking excursion is the ripening date of the fruit. Peach season typically starts in early to mid May and runs through late August. Throughout the season there are several different varieties of peaches that are produced. Right now you can plan on seeing a lot of June Gold, Falvorich, Regal and a couple others. June Golds are one of the most popular types in Texas and can typically be harvested until early June. Blackberries and nectarines are also in season right now, and soon plums and tomatoes will be too! You can find more info on ripening dates and seasonal fruits here!
