About Blood Orchard in Wichita:

Location: 6346 S Broadway Ave, Wichita, KS, United States, Kansas
They planted 2 acres of peaches planted in 2015 and have been planting more every year since. We also planted a small test plot of apples in 2018 that started producing apples in 2022.
They started planting our U-Pick field in the spring of 2023. We currently have 1,325 peach trees growing in this field that will hopefully be big enough for the public to pick in 2025.
They grow everything and sell on the same ground that their great-great-grandfather did.
This land was once known as the peach capital of the world and was home to numerous peach orchards, with one of the most famous being Blood Orchard. Unfortunately, in 1984, the peach trees at Blood Orchard were contaminated by salt in the groundwater, ending over 100 years of fruitful harvests on the family-owned property. However, in 2015, the fifth generation began the process of replanting the orchard on the same land, starting with a small patch of test peach varieties. Since then, they have continued to replant, and today, the orchard boasts around 700 trees, with more being added each spring. The orchard now cultivates 13 different varieties of peaches, 7 varieties of apples, 5 varieties of cherries, and sandplums.
For those interested in being part of the orchard’s history, there is an opportunity to help with the planting during the weekend in early March each year.
