Peach Picking in Pennsylvania: What You Need to Know
Looking for peach picking in Pennsylvania? Below is every location mapped across the state, filterable by city or ZIP code so you can find the one closest to you.
Mid-Atlantic Peach Country
The mid-Atlantic has one of the deepest peach-growing traditions in the country, anchored by the historic Delmarva Peninsula peach belt that made Delaware a national leader in the nineteenth century and by New Jersey's Gloucester County, still a major producer today. Pennsylvania's Adams County grows peaches on a serious commercial scale alongside its famous apples, and Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia all contribute their own orchards along the region's river valleys and hill country. The peach season here typically runs from July through August, often overlapping with the blueberry harvest at the same farms.
