When Can I Get My Favorite Variety?

Now, we can’t control the weather but here are the approximate dates for this season. Click at left to download the full list or below we’ll give you a quick overview.

Apples

The Apple Harvest begins around the middle of June and continues into October. During that time Jackson’s has a number of tasty varieties to choose from.

You can enjoy fresh made Apple Cider from September through November. During the cider making process we squeeze a combination of sweet and tart apples then pasteurize the juice to create a sweet, enjoyable drink that the whole family will enjoy.

Peaches

Umm . . . Peaches.

Around here July and August means Jackson’s Peaches. We work hard year-‘round to offer you some of the finest peaches you will find anywhere. All of our peaches are thinned and then hand thinned so that each are big and beautiful. We hand pick each peach at full ripeness, so that each bite you take is juicy and sweet and that each peach is ready to eat when you purchase it.

Festivals

We’ve found that weekend festivals are a great way to celebrate our various harvest seasons. We pack lots of good food and great fun into a weekend designed for the whole family.

2011 Peach Festival - Friday, July 1 & Saturday, July 2

Around the Fourth of July we “officially” kick off the peach season with our Peach Festival. You’ll find Peaches, Summer Apples & Lots of Fresh Vegetables.
