Jenschke Orchards

Our first trip to Jenschke Orchards to pick our own peaches was a blast. I also must admit they were the best tasting peaches we had during our trip. Travis was very helpful and informative on where to find the best picks. However, when we returned two days later to pick peaches again, Travis was not tending the stand. Instead we were greeted by three younger folks. Customer satisfaction was not their priority. We decided to call it quits and left to find another orchard.

What a find! An over enthusiasm for The Peaches song when I was younger and a great fondness for all sorts of jam has resulted in, perhaps, an over romanticised idea of what peach picking should be — But these guys delivered for sure!
We pulled off the road and were greeted by cheerful children who handed us boxes and whistled for the tractor pulled hayride to drive us from car park to the orchards — where we were given clear instructions and let loose.
It was day two of the memorial day weekend and the pickings weren’t as abundant as I’m sure they would have been had we made it down the day before — but adults and six year olds alike had a very merry time filling our box and eating (and eating, and eating.!)
An aesthetically beautiful set up, great staff and a bonus hay ride — would have been even more perfect with riper fruit and somewhere to wash off the sticky fingers afterwards but you can’t have everything. A very happy, delicious, child friendly addition to our wine tasting /​Fredericksburg day.

Peaches here are delicious! They have a nice hay ride that takes you in the orchard. My daughter loved it :) Everybody was very helpful and friendly. Will definitely come back again.

I believe this may be one of a few remaining u-​pick orchards along this 290 corridor, many are getting squeezed out by wine. They also sell picked fruit (our choice) and the first crop of freestones had just arrived (6.19.14). My ¹⁄₁₆^th bushel was delicious and not enough! The woman that waited on us gave us a sample and said the rains made for a great peach crop, I knew I should have gone one size larger :)
