Virginia orchard’s massive peach breaks world record
Written by Angie Sharma on September 22, 2025
A Virginia orchard officially captured the Guinness World Records title for the heaviest peach by growing a fruit that weighed in at 1.83 pounds.
The Chiles Peach Orchard in Crozet said peach pickers harvested the massive fruit earlier in September and suspected it could beat the world record, which stood at 1.8 pounds.
We weren’t intentionally trying to grow the biggest peach out there, just so happened that the weather that we had this year turned out good, got growing a ginormous peach,” grower Henry Chiles told WVIR-TV.
The peach — a variety known as PF-27A — was submitted to Guinness World Records, which has now confirmed it as the world’s heaviest peach.
“It’s now official: we hold the record for growing the world’s heaviest peach,” the orchard said on social media. “Congratulations to Henry Chiles for growing such a massive fruit, and our thanks to Guinness World Records for their verification.”
