RM 165 East
No phone - we're here when we're here, closed when we're not

The Ruiz family has been running their seasonal peach operation from this roadside stand for decades, selling fruit from their orchards near Fredericksburg. Elena manages the stand during summers while home from A&M, continuing a three-generation family tradition that serves as both local landmark and proof that some people still know what they're doing.

Season: Late May through early September
Hours: Daily during season, 8 AM until we sell out
What we sell: Fresh peaches by the basket, preserves when available

The stand serves as Lochman's unofficial landmark for giving directions and a seasonal reminder that good fruit comes from people who take pride in growing it right.
