How to get Peaches
Peaches are found through planted peach trees, purchase them from the Traveling Cart, or find peaches in the Farm Cave (if the fruit bat option was chosen).
The Traveling Cart
To buy peaches from the Traveling Cart, you will need to travel to the Cindersap Forest on a Friday or Sunday. The Cart is located in the northwestern area of the Forest, above and to the right of the Wizard’s Tower. The Traveling Merchant opens at 6 AM and closes shop at 8 PM.
Also, her wares and prices for items change every day she is open. On any day you visit the Traveling Cart, her ware includes 10 randomly selected items from a set list. If a peach is for sale, it can vary in price anywhere between 420 to 1,000 gold per fruit. Keep in mind that the prices do vary each day, so if the price is too high remember you can always check back another day.
Planting Stardew Valley Peach Trees
As with all other fruits, peaches from from trees that take a long time to grow from sapling to mature tree. After they mature, then they produce a single fruit per day during the summer season (unless it’s planted in the Greenhouse). These harvested fruits will start out a base quality in the first year, but every year thereafter it will produce higher quality fruit. By the third year it will can produce iridium quality fruit.

Pierre’s General Store
To buy saplings from Pierre’s General Store, you will need to travel to the center of Pelican Town, right next to Harvey’s Clinic. The store is open every day from 9 AM to 5 PM except for Wednesday. You can buy peach saplings year-round. Just make sure to buy the saplings a month before the producing season, so the tree has the time it needs to mature beforehand.
Unlike from the Traveling Cart, saplings are always the same price at Pierre’s General Store sitting at 6,000 gold per seed.
The Traveling Cart
Saplings are 4,500 to 7,500 gold per seed from the Traveling Merchant.
Growth Stages of a Stardew Valley Peach Tree
There are four growth stages that peach trees go through before becoming a fruiting peach tree. Each of the four stages take 7 days each. Thus, it will take a full Stardew Valley month before the tree is mature.
You need to make sure that the surrounding 8 tiles around the fruit tree are empty otherwise it will not grow. If you are still having trouble growing trees, then check out our guide on tree growth.

Bundles/ Quests
Though peaches are not used in any quests, they are an option for the artisan bundle in the Pantry room of the Community Center. To complete the bundle, you need 6 items from a list of 12. These 12 items include truffle oil, cloth, goat cheese, cheese, honey, jelly, apples, apricots, oranges, peaches, pomegranates, and cherries.
Completing this bundle gives 1 keg as a reward, a perfect prize that is necessary for crafting peaches into jelly. The real prize though only occurs after you complete all the Pantry bundles. This restores the dilapidated Greenhouse on your farm, unlocking the ability to crow crops and fruit trees year-round.
