Our Story
Hello! I’m Keith, and I’m so glad you are here.
This orchard started with a love for peach blossoms and a passion for growing something special right here in Monroe. With my background in horticulture and a desire to bring something unique to our community, I set out to create Monroe’s first known peach orchard.
What began with the beauty of spring blooms has grown into something even more exciting: fresh, local peaches for our friends, neighbors, and visitors to enjoy. After all, every bloom has the chance to become a peach.
I’m excited to share this orchard and its delicious peaches with the local community. Thank you for stopping by — I hope to see you soon!
Closed for the 2026 season. See you in 2027!
