History of Fredericksburg Farming

Before we get into the farms, you need to know why Fredericksburg is the best place for fresh fruit – particularly peaches. With approximately 600 acres worth of peach trees, Gillespie County (home of Fredericksburg) produces more peaches than almost every other county in Texas. We don’t need to tell you that’s a lot of peaches!

Peaches have been growing here since German settlers arrived in 1846. Because of our rich soil, altitude, and diurnal temperatures, we’ve got the perfect conditions to produce flawless, tasty peaches from May to August.

Each farm brings something different to the peach market, but they all share the deep commitment to keeping Fredericksburg’s peach business alive – and they’re doing a phenomenal job!
