Jenschke Orchards
A family peach orchard along Highway 290. In summer you can pick Texas Hill Country peaches yourself and try peach ice cream.
Gillespie County, where Fredericksburg lies, is Texas's most famous peach-growing area. From late May to July, many orchard stands line Highway 290. Jenschke Orchards is a family farm that has been run for generations. During peach season it is open for self-picking, priced by weight. The farm shop sells fresh peaches, peach ice cream, jam and pie, and in autumn there are pumpkins and seasonal activities. Opening hours change with the season, so check social media announcements first. Wear sun-protective clothing and a hat when picking.
