Welcome!

Farm Update: Peaches, Roses, Tomatoes, and Blackberries.
This week brought more visitors than we expected, our farm was buzzing with activity, and we were truly grateful to welcome so many of you. We hope everyone who stopped by had a chance to enjoy a little time in the field.
A special highlight this week was our homemade peach ice cream, it’s made from scratch and it sold out within an hour! We’re planning to make more this Saturday, so be sure to come by and give it a try while it lasts.
Peaches:
Our peaches are still mostly green and firm this week. If you’re hoping for riper fruit, you might want to wait a little longer, but please keep in mind that most of our peaches tend to be picked before they’re fully soft.
– $20 for a full box
– $15 for a half box
Peach season is still on track to finish in August. Some trees have already finished producing for the year, while others are still growing. A few have tiny peaches still ripening on the branches.
Roses:
The first rose bloom of the year is almost over, with just a few weeks remaining. If you love roses, we’d love to see you before the next bloom returns in September.
Blackberries:
There are still some blackberries in the field, though the daily harvest is quite limited now.
Tomatoes:
Our visitors have been enjoying the taste of our tomatoes. The tomatoes are smaller now as we move into the late season, but the flavor is still excellent. We continue to harvest a small amount each day.
We’d love to see you again!

Frequently Asked Questions
🍑 Peach Picking
Q: Are your peaches in season now?
A: Yes! Peach season typically runs from June through mid-August.
Q: What varieties of peaches do you have?
A: We grow over 20 varieties of peaches, and they ripen at different times. So there's always something to pick throughout the season.
Q: Do you sell peaches by the pound or by the box?
A: Both! Peaches are $20 for a full box, and $10 for a half box. We provide boxes for you to use.
Q: How can I tell which peaches are ripe?
A: If peach comes off easily with a gentle twist, it's ripe.
Q: Can I pick peaches that are still firm?
A: Yes, you can. Just lay them out in a single layer at home. They’ll soften over a few days, and once they're ripe, you can move them to the fridge.
🌹 Rose Picking
Q: Are your roses award-winning?
A: Yes. Roses grown in the Gemini Peach and Rose Farm won the Dallas Rose Show with the "best hybrid tea" 5 times and won the Fort Worth Rose Show with the "best hybrid tea" 4 times. You’ll find these beautiful varieties right here in our rose garden. And they are only $10 a dozen, or $1 apiece.
Q: How do I cut roses at the farm?
A: It's easy and fun!
1. Grab a clipper from the table at the entrance.(Please do not use hand to break off rose stems))
2. Fill your container with water.
3. Head into the garden and look for blooms that are half open.
— outer petals unfolding, center still slightly closed. That's the sweet spot.
4. Snip the stem about 1 cm above a healthy leaf.
— look for five-leaflet stems if you can.
5. Place the rose straight into water.
Tips:
— The ones that are fully bloomed don't last long, tightly closed buds might never bloom once being cut.
— A shorter cut just above a healthy leaf works best for the rose.
— Avoid cutting roses too far down the stem, especially on shorter bushes. Deep cuts can hurt the plant's ability to grow and bloom again.
Q: Do you provide scissors or clippers?
A: Yes — clippers are available at the entrance.
We kindly ask that you do not use hand to break off rose stems, as it damages the plant.
Q: Do you sell rose plants?
A: Yes. And many are unique hybrids that you won't find anywhere else. They are $25 each.
Q: Do I need to bring anything for rose picking?
A: Please bringing your own container (bucket, jar, or vase) for collecting roses. We provide water and clippers at the farm.

A: Absolutely! Kids are welcome to explore and help with picking. Please keep an eye on them, especially around the creek, rose bushes or tools. A layer of bug spray can make exploring more enjoyable in the warmer months.
Q: Can I bring a stroller or wagon?
A: Yes. We recommend strollers or wagons with large wheels, as the terrain can be grassy or uneven.
