Whether you’re planning a visit to our U-pick orchards or just dreaming of a homemade peach cobbler, knowing when peaches are at their sweetest is key.
Here’s everything you need to know about Georgia peach season and how to make the most of it at Jaemor Farms.
When is Peach Season in Georgia?
Georgia’s peach season typically begins in mid-May and runs through mid-August, but the sweetest, juiciest varieties are often harvested from June through July. Timing can vary slightly each year depending on weather conditions, but summer is always the heart of peach season.
At Jaemor Farms, we carefully plan and care for our orchards to ensure that each peach ripens to perfection. Our U-pick peach season usually kicks off in late may and runs for several weeks, giving visitors plenty of time to pick their own basket of farm-fresh fruit.
Why Are Georgia Peaches So Special?
Georgia’s warm climate, rich soil, and just the right amount of rain create the perfect conditions for growing sweet, flavorful peaches. At Jaemor Farms, we’ve been farming for over 100 years, and our family takes great pride in producing peaches that are juicy, fragrant, and full of Southern charm.

We grow several varieties of peaches, each with its own unique flavor and texture. From early clingstone peaches (great for eating fresh) to later-season freestone peaches (perfect for baking), there’s something for every peach lover. When you visit, our team will let you know which varieties are currently in season and share tips on how to pick the best fruit.
