Peach Harvest
Because we are located further south,
our peaches are available much
earlier than from other areas of Texas.
We start peach harvest mid-April
with cling peaches.
They are the
first locally grown fruit available in the
Spring and are a real treat
after a long period without fresh peaches.
About the third week of May through early June we begin to harvest semi-clingstones.
These peaches will come off the stone in slices.
The second week of June is when we start with freestone peaches. These are
the earliest freestones in Texas and are great eating. They are easy to work
with and are good for canning and freezing.
We are picking peaches until mid-July.
Canner peaches are available in 25 lb. (1/2 bushel)
at the orchard house during season.
