Summer Fun in Fredericksburg
Peach Season is here!
Freestone varieties will continue, with their greatest quantities through June. While some varieties did not get sufficient chill hours to produce abundant crops, we will still have peaches through early to mid-August, just in lower quantities than previous bumper crop years. Insider Tip: Call ahead, go early and visit mid-week. Peach stands are open 7 days a week & a morning visit is your best bet for getting your favorite Fredericksburg peaches.
