peach picking

Submitted by Guest on October 23, 2007 - 05:31.

We live between Lancaster and Harrisburg, PA. The experience varies considerably. One very tidy place (selling jellies, etc. in a cute little shop) cost 17.50 for a half bushel - sold by weight. Another, a family run place closer to Lebanon Valley College, (Honey Bear Orchards) charged about $7 each (for at least 20 lbs. of peaches), and less for "drops". The second place was certainly a bargain, even adding in the gas, since I can, make jams, and freeze. A personal theory, go where the Mennonite ladies go, since they're into serious canning, and you'll find the best prices. Another offset, we go with another family and split the gas.
