You Can Pick The Most Delicious Peaches All Summer Long At This Missouri Orchard

Summer brings with it plenty of treasured traditions. Whether we head to one of Missouri's beautiful beaches or we spend hours floating on the river, we all have our own traditions that just make summer so much more special. For some of us, those traditions include fruit - strawberry, blueberry, and apple - picking. Start - or continue - a summer tradition when you go peach picking at this orchard in Missouri.

Start counting down the days until July, Missouri! That's when the peaches are ripe for the picking at Gardener's Orchard and Bakery in Brighton.

In fact, you'll find plenty of varieties of peaches at the family orchard. Stroll through the rows and rows of peach trees that...

Grow such varieties as Loring, O'Henry, and Sweet Sue. Or, fill your basket with Gala, Red Haven, and China Pearl peaches.

Of course, you'll want to carve out plenty of time to meander through the lush peach orchards on the 45-acre farm.

Then, when apple season rolls around in September, stop by again for a little apple picking.

Once you've filled your basket with peaches, spend some time exploring the bakery that's brimming with fresh-baked bread and...

An assortment of delicious goodies - from homemade pies and chocolate croissants to cinnamon rolls and Danishes.
