Jones Orchard is a family farm located 10 miles
North of Memphis. There are 2 roadside markets on the
farm – 7170 Hwy 51 N, and 6850 Singleton Parkway. We have a
Pick Your Own location on Big Creek Church Road available
during our peak season. Jones Orchard also has a booth at the
Memphis Farmers Market and the Agricenter International
Farmers Market.
There are currently 25 varieties of
peaches in production, spanning 110 acres of land. There
are also plums, nectarines, blackberries, blueberries, pears,
and apples. All of these items are available to be picked by
the customer. Many customers enjoy picking their own for the
experience, and the ultimate in quality and
freshness.
The Jones Orchard kitchen is
located at the market on Hwy 51 N. Juanita Jones manages this
market and kitchen. Our jams, jellies and relishes are made at
this location. The jams and jellies are made in small batches
for better taste, and are made from fruit grown right on the
farm. Pies, breads, and cookies are also made from scratch at
the Jones Orchard kitchen.
A corn maze, and pumpkin patch will
be at the Singleton Parkway location in September and October.
The maze will be open on nights and weekends beginning
mid-September. A haunted trail will be open on Friday and
Saturday nights in October and on Halloween night.
Jones Orchard was founded by the late HL "Peach
Orchard" Jones in 1940. Peach Orchard Jones began his peach
business by selling the peaches door to door in the local
neighborhoods. He made quite a reputation for
Jones peaches, and we continue to produce peaches with
the same quality and high standards today. We
strive for excellence and distinction.
The current Jones Orchard peach
expert is Lee Jones who has been growing peaches on the farm
since graduation from college almost 5 decades ago. The farm
still produces the original peach varieties such as Elberta,
Redskin, Georgia Belle, and Indian Peaches that are the
customer’s favorites as well as the market's newest varieties.
The peaches can’t be shipped very far, and have to be consumed
shortly after picking. These older varieties have higher sugar
content, and much better flavor than the shipping varieties
found in the supermarkets. The peaches seem to get better each
year.

Henry Jones and his wife Dayna
handle the farmers market and entertainment segments of the
farm. Cooper, their 5-year old son, Ty and Jack, their
4-year old twin sons and infant daughter, Olivia are
coming on fast.
Customer demand for locally grown,
great tasting produce, and the desire to pick produce
directly off of the farm make for a busy, pleasurable, and
entertaining time at the farm.
