Picking Policies
At Chiles Peach Orchard
Pre-pay for PYO
Before picking, you’ll pre-pay by container size (or per pumpkin). Guests must purchase at least one container for every 2-3 people picking fruit. You may fill your container only once.
Expect Strawberries in May
Our picking season kicks off with the taste of strawberries in May. When it comes to sweets, these berries are always the star of the show!
Expect Peaches in June
Nothing says summer like the sweet taste of a perfectly ripened peach. While Mother Nature has the final say, we typically have peaches ready for picking from June to September.
Expect Apples in July
From the summer’s Lodi and Gala apples to the fall’s famous Pink Ladies, our orchard has over a dozen delicious apple varieties available for picking throughout the season!
Check in with Staff
Before picking, you must check in with orchard staff. We’ll provide picking instructions, let you know what and where to pick (availability varies by day), and update you on everything going on that day!
Everyone in your group must check in at the same time.
