There are many places in the Palmetto State where you can pick your own fruit. From u-pick blueberry farms to strawberry patches and more, South Carolina is rich in the sweet nectar of fresh summertime harvests. When it comes to peaches, no other state in America (except for California) produces more peaches than South Carolina. The harvest is so fruitful (all pun intended) that it lasts all summer long at the following u-pick orchard.
That's because Fisher's Peach Orchard in Greer grows 26 different varieties of peaches.
With so many different kinds of trees, there is always a new variety just reaching prime picking status.
Three generations of Fishers have been harvesting peaches in Greer.
The first peach trees were planted in the 1930s — long before the concept of pick-your-own was even conceived. Until 1968, when the Fishers opened one of their orchards for u-pick, the family was in the business of growing and packing only.
Today, the business has a thriving fruit stand (with three locations). What's more, you can pick fresh peaches in many varieties as they ripen on the trees at the Fisher Orchard over on Fisher Road all summer long.
It's an activity that's perfect for kids of all ages so pop the little ones in the car and bring them along! There's nothing quite like seeing a smile erupt on the face of a child pulling their first ripe peach off a tree — except maybe watching them take a bite after it's been washed!
It also turns out that peach orchards make wonderful backdrops for keepsake photos.
It's a win-win! You'll get fresh fruit and some sharable, cute shots perfect for sending to the relatives!
You may even want to share your personal harvest too!
With acres and acres of peaches and so many varieties reaching their prime throughout the summer, you'll be able to come back again and again to restock your fresh peach bowl or basket in the kitchen!
In days gone by, in the era before u-pick was conceived, people were only allowed into orchards after all of the best fruit was picked and packaged or boxed for shipment to outside markets. Now we get the cream of the crop!
Fisher's Peach Orchard already has a calendar posted with estimated dates their various kinds of peaches will be ripe and ready to pick.
If you have a favorite variety, just check their calendar at the bottom of this page on their website.
Then, just to be sure, you can call them at 864-895-4115 to confirm, or simply follow the Facebook page here for status posts.
