Peach Picking in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana
Texas Hill Country, centered on the towns of Stonewall and Fredericksburg, calls itself the Peach Capital of Texas and draws visitors from across the state each June and July for some of the best pick-your-own peaches in the South. Oklahoma's own peach tradition centers on Porter, celebrated each summer with its own peach festival, while Louisiana's peach belt around Ruston in the northern part of the state produces much of that state's crop in sandy hill-country soil better suited to the fruit than the Mississippi River delta further south.
