If you’re looking for a weekend adventure that’s just an hour from Southlake and packed with family fun, Ham Orchards in Terrell is a peach of a pick. Founded in 1979 by Dale and Judy Ham, this 100-acre orchard is home to over 10,000 peach trees, blackberry patches and a bustling farm market full of small-town charm.
Kids will love picking juicy blackberries straight from the vine and cooling off with a scoop (or two) of Ham’s famous homemade peach or strawberry ice cream. Parents can browse seasonal produce, freshly baked treats from the in-house bakery, or indulge in handcrafted fudge. And when hunger strikes, head to the pavilion for BBQ that’s earned national acclaim.
Pitmaster Eddie Deen, whose legendary brisket has fed everyone from U.S. presidents to Olympic crowds, serves up mouthwatering plates Monday through Saturday. Try the peach pulled pork sandwich, an orchard favorite, paired with Texas-style sweet tea or a peach-infused twist.
But don’t wait! Ham Orchards’ summer season is winding down, and this is one of your last chances to enjoy the fruit-filled fun. With rocking chairs under shady trees, rows of farm-fresh produce and old-fashioned hospitality around every corner, Ham Orchards is more than a farm: it’s a full-day escape with something for everyone.
