Pick Some Of The Juiciest Peaches In Texas This Summer At Jenschke Orchards

Summer is peach season, and it doesn't take a trip to Georgia to enjoy 'em at their finest. Jenschke Orchards, located in the charming town of Fredericksburg, has some of the juiciest pick-your-own peaches Texas has to offer. Other crops, such as plums and blackberries, are also available, in addition to peach products like salsa and preserves.

Established in 1961, Jenschke Orchards is located on the famous Wine Road 290 in Fredericksburg. Seven generations have grown up on the family farm, only selling peaches grown onsite.

The orchard boasts 26 varieties of peaches on more than 5,000 trees. Picking season begins mid-May and usually runs through August, sometimes extending into September.

Nothing quite compares to the experience of picking your own fruit, taste-testing the various types as you stroll through the field. On a time crunch? No problem. You can get pre-picked peaches from the roadside stand.

In addition to the peaches themselves, you can also snag products like peach cider, peach butter, and even peach salsa. Imagine all the delicious goodies you could whip up!

Ice cream is so refreshing on a hot summer day, and it's made fresh here at Jenschke Orchards. Both peach and strawberry flavors are available -- get 'em swirled together for a taste sensation of epic proportions!

Plums, blackberries, and strawberries are also in-season currently. Everything goes fast, so try to get there early for the best selection.

Throughout the summer, crops such as yellow squash, zucchini, and potatoes become available. There's just something special about home-grown produce!

Crop availability varies, so visit the orchard's website or Facebook page to learn more.
