Cherry Hill Farms Peach Days and Late Summer Harvest Near Greenleaf

August in the Treasure Valley means one thing for locals who love fresh, seasonal produce: peach season. And no place celebrates it better than Cherry Hill Farms in Caldwell, just 10 minutes from 20602 Academy Rd in Greenleaf. Their annual Peach Days event runs August 14-15, offering wagon rides and U-pick peaches straight from the orchard. Here is your guide to making the most of late summer harvest season near Greenleaf.

Cherry Hill Farms Peach Days

Held on Chicken Dinner Road just south of Greenleaf, Cherry Hill Farms opens its orchard each August for a weekend of peach picking. The 2026 Peach Days take place Friday, August 14, and Saturday, August 15, from 9 AM to 3 PM each day. Visitors can take wagon rides through the orchard and pick their own sun-ripened peaches directly from the trees. There is nothing quite like the taste of a peach still warm from the sun, picked by your own hand, while the Owyhee foothills glow in the distance.

Cherry Hill Farms also has a farm stand with additional seasonal produce, baked goods, and local honey. It is close enough to Greenleaf for a quick afternoon outing, but feels like a true escape into the agricultural heart of Canyon County.
