Midwest Peach Picking
Peaches are a smaller part of the Midwest's fruit-growing identity than apples or, in Michigan's case, cherries, but pockets of strong peach production exist throughout the regionâparticularly in the hill country along major rivers, where elevation changes create air drainage that protects blossoms from late frost. Southern Illinois, southern Indiana, southern Ohio, and Michigan's western fruit belt all support peach orchards that open to pick-your-own visitors each midsummer, often on the same farms that grow the region's better-known apples.
Best Time for Peach Picking in Minnesota
