Donald Eckhardt Orchards - Fredericksburg Peach Grower - Fredericksburg, Texas

Time with Tara

The peaches we purchased were small in size(they were from the first crop or picking), but they were enormous in taste and sweetness!!! I made the most delicious peach cobbler from them, I also had enough to enjoy on my cereal and just by themselves. We will definitely be back for more before the end of season!

Stopped by for some produce and ice cream while visiting Fredericksburg. Staff was very friendly and greeted me soon as walking up. They had 2 different peach varieties at this time. There's also a lot of other produce from peas, onions, zucchini, squash, watermelons, pickled vegetables, etc.. In addition to produce, they had other items ranging from soap, lotions, air fresheners, jams, salsas, etc...

Lastly, they had homemade ice cream, both blackberry and peach. Surprisingly, they said the blackberry was more popular and that was evidenced as it was sold out. Bought the peach ice cream and it tasted great. It was very fresh, creamy, not too sweet, and contained large chunks of peaches. I have to come back for the blackberry ice cream if it tastes even better than the peach.

For the peaches, they were very sweet and juicy. They need to ripen up a few more days, but it was already sweet. I'll come back again this peach season and try more of their other produce.

Excellent place for peaches in the Fredericksburg area. Been using them since the pick-your own places stopped operations several years ago. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Their facebook page also has updates on what products are in.
Be it the cling peaches or the later in the season freestones, you can't go wrong. Their other products (ie jams/preserves) are pretty good too.

I have been getting peaches from Donald Eckhardt Orchards (Eckhardt Peaches) for several years now and they are honestly the best peaches I’ve had. They are so juicy, sweet, and perfectly ripe. I won’t even buy them from the grocery store anymore.
Also, if they ever have the peach ice cream, get it! It’s the best!
I recently tried some peaches from another orchard and they just were not the same.

Yes we did! We had both the Peach Ice-cream & blackberry Ice-cream, both delicious. My favorite is the peach it has nice size peach chunks, the blackberry has lots of tiny seeds but that didn't stop any of us. They have several peach box sizes for purchase starting at $10 up to over $40 I bought a large box so I could bring home & share with others. We also bought a yellow watermelon & it was delightful. They have many other products from surrounding farms. I needed to put a gift basket together so I also purchased Lemon/rosemary goat cheese & a plain one too along with a peach scented candle & Lavender cream made from goat milk. The peaches were so juicy & sweet ? I can't wait to buy another box.

Great Selection of jams, sauces and pickled fruits & vegetables. Great fruit when in season. Family owned and ran. The owners daughter (probably 8th grader?) was adorable and very knowledgeable about the products they sell. Enjoy! ?

I made peach cookie cups. There were no leftovers.

Absolutely beautiful, delicious peaches, and the staff went out of their way to be helpful when we showed up asking for an unusually large order. We drove up from the Rio Grande Valley to buy peaches, and these were worth the trip!
