Roadside stands line most of the roads leading into Fredericksburg with major concentrations along Hwy 290 between Fredericksburg and Stonewall. The peach season runs from mid-May through the first week of August in a normal year. Several orchards offer pick-your-own for those who really want to experience the peach season.
