I have done the groundwork for you and gathered valuable information about the fantastic Arkansas farms where you and your loved ones can indulge in the joy of picking your own peaches this summer. Plus, some amazing recipes from some of Arkansas’ most respected and loved food writers/bloggers (and my friends!).
First, let’s get ready for a memorable experience filled with luscious fruit, laughter, and quality time spent together amid the bountiful beauty of Arkansas.
Peach Pickin’ Paradise is one of my favorite peach orchards in Arkansas. They have two locations: Lamar and Clarksville. Pick-your-own is available at both locations.

Drewry Farm and Orchards is located in Dover and is one of the friendliest places in the state! Although very limited this year as the Arkansas peach crop took a hit his past spring, they do have peaches (Freestone and Tree Run) for sale by the pound in their produce cabin along with okra, tomatoes, squash and zucchini.
They host an amazing “Front Porch Breakfast” on Saturday mornings during the season from 7:00 a.m. – noon.

Vanzant Fruit Farm is located in the town of Lowell, near Bentonville, Arkansas. They have about 6,000 peach trees producing 22 varieties from June into late August. The varieties allow them to spread production from early producers to the late summer “cling-free” seed options.
You can stop by Vanzant’s Market to purchase. They also have other produce and fresh vegetables as well as jams, jellies and other goods.

Jamison Orchard, an Arkansas favorite in Nashville, was hit hard this spring by the weather and does not have peaches this season.
Please note: I have listed as much information here as I could, but it’s always a good idea to check with the farm before heading out, as many pick-your-own peach farms sometimes have unpredictable crop yields and changes to their schedule! It’s also a good idea to take cash, as some farms don’t accept credit cards.
