Chin-Dribblin' Peaches from Milburn Orchards

It only takes one bite to know that you’ve chosen a fresh, sweet, juicy, and delicious peach picked right at the orchard at the peak of perfection. Because we’ve selected many varieties based on flavor and their ripening characteristics, we are picking fresh peaches from a little after mid-June, clear through September.

We’re also experimenting with many new peach varieties in limited quantities this summer, so keep an eye out for these treats in our farm market each time you visit! Periodically throughout the year, we also send a short email to our Milburn Orchards friends letting them know when specific fruits and vegetables are ripe and ready to eat.

The following link includes more info and a chart, based on the last five years, gives you some idea when specific varieties are available for sale in the market. If you are coming to the orchard to purchase a specific variety, please call ahead. Our number is (410) 398-1349 or (800) 684-3000.

Peach Freezing

Freezing your peaches is a good way to have peaches all year round! Directions to freeze:

  • To loosen skins, put peaches in wire basket and dip in boiling water ½ to 1 minute. Then dip into ice water & drain.
  • Peel, pit, and slice peaches.
  • Place slices in heavy, plastic freezer bag or container of your choice. Sprinkle with Fruit Fresh to prevent browning of fruit.
  • Sugar peaches when you are going to use them, if you desire.
  • Before closing freezer bag, make sure all air is removed to prevent freezer burn.
  • Freeze immediately. Peaches will keep in freezer approximately 9 to 12 months.
