If you went out pumpkin picking and are now filled with the desire to continue, we have you covered. Pumpkins aren’t the only great thing to go out and pick in the fall, there’s tons of delicious fruit! Here are some of our favorite orchards near Austin for all your fruit needs.
PEAS Community Farm & Urban Orchard
2200 Berkeley Ave, Austin, TX 78745
The PEAS Community Farm & Urban Orchard began in 2011 when educators, students, parents, and community members came together at Cunningham Elementary in South Austin to develop a 2,400 square-foot community garden designed to foster relationships and promote sustainability and stewardship through experiential education. Membership is open to the public on a sliding scale of $10-$50 per member/family. This community farm is farmed communally by all members, volunteers, and the school community. Your membership helps support ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the farm and gives you “pick your own” at your leisure harvesting privileges.
Boggy Creek Farm
3414 Lyons Rd, Austin, TX 78702
Boggy Creek has tons in season right now. While they are currently less heavy on the fruit, these veggies are so deliciously fresh everyone will want to be eating them. You’ll find arugula, kale, squash, and several varieties of pepper for that extra kick. They also offer a great selection of meats sourced from farms nearby.
Sweet Eats Fruit Farm
14400 E State Hwy 29, Georgetown, TX 78626
Currently, pumpkin picking is in full swing at Sweet Eats, but they’ve got some other stuff too! They’re growing strawberries at the moment, and they also have peaches, nectarines, and cherries throughout the year. It’s some of the best fruit around, and we all know how hard it is to find those perfect nectarines.
Austin Orchards
2914 Caldwell Ln, Del Valle, TX 78617
Austin Orchards is a family-owned orchard pretty close to Austin. They’ll have a wonderful selection of oranges coming soon. They’re also a great place to pick peaches, plums, pears, and watermelon! They even team up with Lick ice creams to create some of their amazing flavors.
Love Creek Orchards
14024 TX-16 N, Medina, TX 78055
Love Creek also has a full harvest of pumpkins at the moment, but in their day-to-day, they have apples. These aren’t just any apples, they’re nice and sweet. Perfect for baking into an apple pie or making into a jam. And, if you don’t feel quite like doing these yourself, when you’re done picking apples you can also take home some of over 50 different apple products they offer!
