Our Varieties & Picking Times

Bushel of Fredericksburg Peaches

THE 2024 SEASON IS HERE 

Traveling for peaches:

The Hill Country fruit growers all have set a decent crop for the 2024 season, despite a hailstorm our family farm weathered April 1st. The storm did hit us hard, being one of the worst our family has seen, however we still have a 40-50% crop. Peaches will be readily available but please be understanding when you find peaches with dents & dings. These blemishes are simply superficial and do not hurt the fruit. As always, we recommend you call before making a drive for peaches.
