U-PICK PEACHES
Coming Soon
Peaches from Schnepf Farms have been named and featured in Wine Spectator Magazine as the best in the country and for over 50 years, the Schnepfs have continued to extend their season by planting more orchards with different varieties. Peaches like Earligrande, Springcrest, Florida Prince , Florida King are all popular varieties that grow extremely well in the Desert climate.
Our Peach Season begins before any other location in the Country. Its an incredible season that lasts 6 to 7 weeks! So if you are a peach lover, then plan accordingly because all different varieties ripen at different times.
We provide bags & boxes
Peach Picking Details
- When the UPICK orchards open (*On or around May 1st), you can drive to the farm and follow signs to the orchard.
- * Please check back for a possible earlier date
- We have peaches already picked available in the Country Store if you do not want to drive to orchard.
- We only pick peaches early in the morning when they are the sweetest, so once they run out at the store, they will be available the next day.
- Peaches are sold by the pound
- Mother Nature does play a major role, if it’s hot, peaches ripen faster. So we cannot guarantee anything to do with Mother Nature.
