Fresh From The Orchard To Your Home
Real peaches, the way nature intended. Grown with care and picked at just the right moment, our peaches are full of sun-ripened sweetness—nothing like the hard, flavorless ones you’ll find in stores. Just pure, honest fruit.
Notice
We hope to receive weekly shipments of peaches and sell into August. However, it is not unusual for us to have a week, or even two, during our season, where we are unable to get peaches from the orchard; this is generally due to slow ripening conditions because of weather.
For the first several weeks, the peaches will be semi-cling peaches, so if you are planning on canning, we advise you to wait for the free-stone varieties later in the season!
Fresh Peaches Your Way
We get our premium peaches from Big Smile Peaches in sunny South Carolina—and trust us, they live up to the name! Our orchard-fresh peaches come in both medium and large sizes, bursting with juicy, sun-ripened flavor. They arrive in big half-bushel boxes, which we break down into peck boxes, four-quart bags, or even sold individually if you’re just craving a few.
Half Bushel

Large
For the peach aficionados who aren’t messing around—this box is all about big plans. Imagine filling your home with jars of jam, bubbling pies, homemade cobblers, and sweet slices for days on end. Go big, or go grab another box!
Peck Box
Medium
Large
This peck box is half the size of the big box. It’s the perfect size for your peach-loving crew—whether it’s a hungry family, a backyard cookout, or a weekend get-together. Throw some on the grill and let the peach magic begin!
4-Quart Bag

Proper Peach Care
Handle with care. Ripen with love. Enjoy at peak perfection.
Our peaches keep ripening even after they’re picked, so a little patience goes a long way. Follow these simple tips to make sure every bite is just as juicy, sweet, and flavorful as it should be.
Be Gentle & Rinse
Peaches bruise easily—treat them like the delicate gems they are! Use the softest ones first. While our peaches are pre-washed, we always suggest a quick rinse before enjoying.
Let Them Ripen
Peaches ripen best at room temperature, so keep them on your counter until they’re soft and fragrant. Follow our recommendations, which will depend on which day you buy.
Don’t Refridgerate!
Refrigerating your peaches too soon can ruin the texture. Let your peaches fully ripen at room temperature first—then store them in the fridge to keep them fresh for up to a week.

FAQ
Should I keep my peaches in a brown paper bag?
While placing peaches in a paper bag might help ripen fruit that was picked too early, it’s not necessary for our peaches. Since our peaches are tree-ripened, they’ll continue to ripen naturally at room temperature—no extra steps needed.
When can I put my peaches in the fridge?
You can refrigerate your peaches once they’re fully ripe. Chilling them too early can ruin them, but after they’ve been ripened at room temperature, the fridge will help keep them fresh for up to a week.
What if I don’t want my peaches to ripen at the same time?
There’s no way to slow down the ripening process without risking the quality of your peaches. Refrigerating them too early can make them mealy and ruin their texture. The best thing you can do is keep a close eye on them and move each peach to the fridge when fully ripe. This will help extend its freshness for up to a week—without sacrificing flavor or quality.
How do I know when my peaches are fully ripe?
You’ll know your peaches are ripe when they feel soft to the touch and give slightly when gently pressed. They’ll also have a strong, sweet peachy aroma. If they still feel firm and lack that fragrant smell, give them a little more time at room temperature to finish ripening.
How are your peaches different from the ones I can buy at the store?
Unlike store-bought peaches, which are often picked too early and ripened in transit, our peaches are tree-ripened and handled with care from orchard to stand. Even store peaches that are labeled “tree-ripened” are typically kept in coolers with other produce, which can cause them to become mealy, dry, and flavorless. We let our peaches ripen naturally at room temperature—so you get that perfect, juicy bite every time.
Where are your peaches from?
Our peaches come from Big Smile Peaches in Johnston, South Carolina. We work with them because their peaches are consistently high-quality—ripe and juicy—just the way we like them.
