Chiles Peach Orchard and Farm Market

Located in Crozet, Virginia, this family-owned and -operated farm has been a staple in the community for years. Known for its pick-your-own fruit offerings, the farm has become a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike. The farm market, ice cream parlor, and fudge kitchen add to the charm, making it a popular spot for family outings and school field trips.

The farm emphasizes a hands-on approach to agriculture, allowing visitors to pick their own fruits directly from the trees and plants. This method not only provides fresh produce but also fosters a deeper connection between consumers and the land. The farm's practices ensure that the fruits are harvested at their peak ripeness, offering the best flavors and nutritional value.

The farm market features fresh-picked fruits, local vegetables, ciders, jams, jellies, local crafts, and gifts. The ice cream parlor serves frozen yogurt, soft-serve ice cream, sundaes, shakes, and other treats, while the fudge kitchen offers fresh homemade fudge. Special events include Homemade Peach Ice Cream Days and Pancake Breakfasts. Senior citizen discounts on fruit are available every Tuesday, and the farm is open from early May through Thanksgiving. The farm is family-friendly and has a no-smoking policy.
