From Prairie Blossoms to a Perfect Peaches

In Gainesville, Texas, the vibrant Prairie Peach Orchard, formerly known as Murphy's Peach Orchard, is a legacy site celebrated for its sweet peaches. When mother-daughter duo Hannah and Cindy arrived, they felt an instant calling to this cherished land.

Hannah, an equestrian coach at NCTC, dreamed of a life enriched by nature, while Cindy, recently retired from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, brought invaluable agricultural knowledge. Together, they aimed to revitalize the orchard, embracing sustainable practices that honored its history.

Cindy envisioned turning the orchard into an agrotourism hub, where families could enjoy peach-picking, learn about sustainable farming, and soak in the beauty of North Texas. Their efforts quickly transformed the orchard into a beloved destination, fostering community through workshops, events, and producing Texas products like pies, jams, and so much more.

With each peach season, their passion for agriculture and community deepened, leaving a lasting legacy in their adopted home. Prairie Peach Orchard became a symbol of new beginnings, nurturing connections, and dreams under the expansive Texas sky.
