1. 1.Arrive early in the morning when it's cooler and the fruit is freshest,Texas summer heat can be intense by midday
2. 2.Dress kids in long pants and closed-toe shoes to protect against scratchy branches and uneven ground
3. 3.Bring your own wagon or stroller for little ones who tire easily and for hauling your peach bounty
4. 4.Call ahead to check peach availability during peak season (usually May-August) as ripe fruit can sell out quickly
5. 5.Pack sunscreen, hats, and plenty of water,there's limited shade in the orchard rows

Visit on weekday mornings during peak peach season (June-July) for the best fruit selection and smallest crowds. Early morning visits also mean cooler temperatures and happier kids during the Texas summer.

You typically pay by the pound for what you pick. Parking is available on-site, and facilities are basic farm amenities, so plan bathroom breaks accordingly before arriving.

Peak peach picking season typically runs May through August, with the sweetest fruit usually available in June and July. Call ahead to confirm picking availability as it varies with weather and harvest. The orchard may offer year-round visits for the farm atmosphere, but peach picking is strictly seasonal.

Head into downtown Fredericksburg (about 10 minutes away) for family favorites like Hondo's on Main for burgers and comfort food, or Otto's German Bistro where kids can try schnitzel and spätzle in a casual atmosphere.
