PEACH CAPITAL OF OKLAHOMA
Stratford, Oklahoma
Stratford’s chief claim to fame is our peach orchards. Peaches have always been present in Stratford, but it was not until the fifties that commercial
orchards of any scale were planted, and the first crop appeared in the early sixties. Slowly but surely the reputation of the Stratford Peach
began to spread.
At the time of the first Peach Festival, there were some 300 acres of peach orchards in the Stratford area. Years later, there were approximately 900 acres producing these most remarkable accomplishments of nature.
Today, we have a significantly smaller number of acres dedicated to peaches, but the quality is highly regarded. Specialists from the Oklahoma State University have declared the peaches of this area to be of the highest quality. It is on the twin virtues of quality and quantity that Stratford claims itself to be the PEACH CAPITAL OF OKLAHOMA! You are invited to test this for yourself!!
