Studebaker Farm Peaches — Local services in Fredericksburg

There are many options when it comes to fruit and vegetable stands in Fredericksburg and they also have a farmers market every Thursday afternoon. We stopped at Studebakers's Farm Stand for a couple reasons. First it wasn't a large brick and mortar and second the focus was peaches ! It is a medium size building-a barn type structure with multiple wooden fruit stands inside. The peaches are beautifully displayed in baskets of varying sizes, the size determines the price. The young lady who assisted me was very nice and helpful too! (Despite the fact that it was 103' outside-the structure provided shade but it was still quite hot!-my temperament changes a bit when I have to be out in that oppressive heat!)

Before I go on-imagine how a perfectly shaped peach, at the height of ripeness smells....that heavenly pure peach smell was so intoxicating and it was the first thing I noticed upon entering the fruit stand!! Believe me, I had to practice severe restraint not to get several bushels because I could easily imagine making Peach Pie, Peach Cobbler and Peach Jam....maybe even Peach Ice Cream ....I regress! I advised I was looking for a peach that's best eaten from the hand...(they are a very low calorie option) and I asked if she could make a recommendation. She said they offered six varieties and she recommended two that were touted for their sweetness. I chose a beautiful basket of a golden peach variety-sadly I forgot to photograph them in the basket as I was one of only two customers so she was able to quickly but carefully place them in a brown paper bag and complete our transaction. I'm adding a photo of them on my drying rack-we had already eaten three prior to snapping the pic. I can't even remember the last time I tasted such an incredibly delicious peach. Bite after bite-the perfect taste of ripeness as if I had plucked it directly from the tree, just firm enough so I was able to eat it easily while avoiding making a sticky mess, yet so juicy bite after bite. Honestly I was truly amazed at the flavor. If you are near Fredericksburg, I would highly recommend you stop. They have peaches pretty much thru September. You'll need to be on the lookout. It sits back just a bit from Highway 290-as you come in from Austin it will be on your left about 7 miles before you reach downtown...

Rude ladies working there. I was out to buy peaches and we stopped there. Some lady there 'yelled' at me, instead of talking to me about their rules. I refused to take that, as she continued yelling at me, I turned and we left. We went down the road and was greeted by very nice people and peaches were wonderful. They got our business. I will never go back to Studebaker Farm and I will tell all my...

We stopped by the stand on Friday, June 1, wanting to buy peaches for preserves. The nice young lady offered "seconds" peaches since they were fully riped and somewhat soft. I purchased them and made the most wonderful batch (4 cups) of sweet/tasty preserves later that day. Will go back because of their friendliness and we just want to help out...
