Peach Picking? SC Options near Greenville and WNC are Perfect

Are you looking for a place to go peach picking? SC peach picking spots are located near Greenville and into Western North Carolina. And, just in case you’d like to skip the picking and just get some delicious peaches, we’ve added some great places to get local prepicked peaches. That means if you’re wondering “Where can I get peaches near me?” you’ve come to the right spot.

Did you know that South Carolina actually grows more peaches than Georgia? Yep, peaching picking SC is a real thing because believe it or not South Carolina was the second-highest peach-producing state after California in 2022. Georgia was third. Even though we aren’t the Peach State, we can unofficially claim that title for fun with our acres and acres of peaches, orchards, peach farms, and peach stands.

I love peaches and summer is the perfect time to enjoy the juicy fruit.

While there are not a lot of local places you can pick your own, there are plenty of places to get locally-grown peaches. We’ve got both of those lists right here for you so you can get to eatin’ some peaches.

Tips for picking your own peaches with kids

• Strollers are not suitable for orchards due to long grass and uneven ground. Plan for small children to walk or be carried (and remember that you will also have to carry the heavy basket of peaches).
• Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes. The grass is long and slightly muddy, and there is a plethora of ants and other insects (it is the great outdoors, after all).
• Bring a tall person or some way to reach high branches. The best fruit was at the tops of the trees!
• Bring wipes. Peaches are juicy and wipes come in pretty handy for cleanup.
• Leave pets at home. Most peach farms don’t allow them and if they do, they almost always do not allow them in the u-pick areas.

Where to Buy Local Peaches

To start, you can visit a local farmers market. In peach season, you’ll likely find some delicious prepicked peaches from local peach orchards.

Fisher’s Orchard

Fisher’s is a local orchard that grows peaches and apples so the peaches are straight from their orchard and will start showing up at the fruit stands in mid-June usually. Their peaches are absolutely delicious. We are big fans. Fisher’s Orchard has two roadside stands in Greer, including one right next to Dillard’s Ice Cream. That’s a good enough reason to stop there.

Some summers, Fisher’s will open up their orchard for u-pick peaches but it’s not every season. It varies based on peach production and the condition of the orchard and peach trees. As of June 2023, they are not offering u-pick peaches. Your best bet is to follow their Fisher’s Orchard Facebook page for updates.
