Five generations of one family have farmed this stretch of Montgomery County's Agricultural Reserve since 1907, when Edwin and Minerva Horine first worked the land. Their son Phil planted the first peach trees during the Depression; his great-grandson Gene Kingsbury later spotted a mutation on one of those trees and turned it into Kingsbury Pride, a yellow freestone peach the orchard now grows exclusively. Season opens with cherries and apricots in June, then peaches, plums, and nectarines.
