Those wonderful strawberries..... 
If you have had some of our strawberries at Chiles Peach Orchard this year, we don't need to tell you how fantastic they have been. We are happy to tell you that we will be picking strawberries for at least 2 more weeks!  There is still time to enjoy this amazing treat, whether it's your first trip this season, or you have been a regular visitor. The crop is abundant, and the picking is easy! |

Sweet, sweet cherries...... 
As most of you are aware, we had a very severe freeze back in April. Unfortunately, our cherries at Chiles Peach Orchard were affected, and we aren't able to offer Pick Your Own Cherries this season (I know, we are sad too!). Luckily, we also grow cherries in one of our other orchards, and we are picking and bringing them to our fruit stand in Crozet for you to purchase. Stop by Chiles Peach Orchard over the next 2-3 weeks to enjoy these fabulous fruits! |
The recent hot weather we have experienced is helping our peaches to ripen. We should be picking peaches by early July. Most of our Pick Your Own peaches will be at Chiles Peach Orchard this year - Carter Mountain won't have many peaches for picking, due again to the freeze. However, we will have plenty of our own peaches and nectarines for sale. Speaking of Carter Mountain, we will open for the season on Friday, June 22nd
