U-Pick Peaches in California
U-Pick Peaches in California18 farms where you can pick your own peach.
Peach season in California runs June through August, peaking in July. The San Joaquin Valley — Fresno, Tulare, and Kings counties — produces the bulk of the crop, but the best u-pick experiences are found in the foothills: Brentwood in Contra Costa County, and the Reedley/Sanger area in Fresno County. Early-season varieties like May Crest and June Pride give way to Yellow Freestone and O'Henry in midsummer. A ripe peach smells intensely fruity and gives slightly to gentle pressure near the stem. These 18 pick-your-own peach farmslet you harvest straight from the source — check the map for one near you, and a farm's own site for current hours before you go.
