It’s peach season and Tree-Ripe Fruit Co. is back, delivering fresh Georgia peaches and pecans to farmers’ markets, events and drop-off locations around the greater Milwaukee area.
It’s an annual tradition for the family-owned company, which has delivered peaches from Pearson Farm, a fifth-generation Georgia peach farm, to happy fans in Wisconsin for over 30 years.
In fact, thanks to near-perfect weather, the 2025 season brings not only big, juicy Georgia peaches in Tree-Ripe's signature 25-pound half-bushel boxes with no purchase limits and no price increases from last year.
The best peach season yet
After a tough 2023 with severe shortages of the fruit across the United States, the 2024 peach season was predicted to be the best in 20 years. But, this year might be even better.
“We just got back from our pre-season visit to Pearson Farm to see the peaches for ourselves and it’s the bumper crop we dream of” said Tiernan Paine, owner of Tree-Ripe Fruit Co. “Everything lined up perfectly this season, and we’re going all in bringing back big boxes, no limits and no price increases. It’s going to be a perfect summer.”
To celebrate the bumper crop, Tree-Ripe’s popular “Share a Peach” sweepstakes is also back. At every Peach Stop Truck Event, customers can pick up a free paper tote, the perfect size to share a few of their peaches with friends, family or neighbors.
To enter the sweepstakes, fans simply post a photo of themselves sharing the peaches and tag #ShareaPeach on social media. Winners will be automatically entered to win free peaches or gift cards all season long.
Get yours
The 2025 season officially begins Saturday, June 14. For the remainder of June, customers can expect Georgia peaches, Georgia pecans and New Mexico pistachios with Michigan blueberries available around July 4.
