Celebrating 40 Years!

On July 13th, 1972, my parents, Hector and Cynthia Pedregon, opened The Peach Tree in a historical limestone building as the first gift store in Fredericksburg. The success of our 40 year family business is largely because of their love of hospitality and natural sense for how people want to be treated. Originally, they had looked at the building with the idea of using it for storage but fell in love with the property and dreamed up an idea together. Along the way, they made incredible friends with the people who entered their door. A tea room was added with the purpose of giving people a place to sit and visit but grew into a seven day a week full service restaurant. Mom wrote her first cookbook because she could not keep up with handwriting so many recipes for customers who requested them. She wrote 2 more cookbooks in the middle of raising 3 children and growing and running The Peach Tree with Dad.

Without my beloved mother, Cynthia, our family is adjusting to daily life without her beautiful presence. Our Peach Tree family, customers and employees, are missing her, too. To honor her, Cynthia Collins Pedregon, we want to celebrate what she helped accomplish with The Peach Tree. We celebrate a place where it is comfortable to gather with family and friends for warm visits and where memories are made.

In Mom's words, "Miracles Happen Around the Table!"
