About This Farm
Highland Orchards at West Chester is one of eight farms in this region carrying a 2026 crop loss, and it says so in the gentlest possible way: "Our Farm Market will still have fresh peaches available for purchase, sourced from other trusted growers."
Which means the orchard's own peaches are gone.
What You Can Pick
At the time of checking the farm reported "EXCELLENT PICKING" on Jonamac apples and sweet corn. Strawberries, blueberries and pumpkins run through the rest of the year.
What Else is Available
A farm market and bakery, open longer than the fields.
Good to Know
Picking is Tuesday to Sunday, 9am to 3pm. The market runs Tuesday to Friday 9am to 6pm and weekends 9am to 5pm. Both are closed Monday.
Pro tip: a six-hour picking day that ends at three catches people out, because the market next to it is open three hours longer. If you want the fields rather than the shop, this is a morning trip.
