Blood Orchards has belonged to the same Wichita family since 1871, growing peaches, apples, cherries, and sand plums out of a building that dates to 1885. Salt in the groundwater wiped out the original trees in 1984; the family began replanting in 2015. Peaches sell from mid-July into early September, and the Bloods now also run a taproom pouring beer and seltzer made from their own fruit.

Admission runs $9 on weekdays and $11 on weekends; kids two and under get in free.
