In honor of the tremendous peach season that is happening as we speak, Blue Bell has gone ahead and announced that it’s bringing back Peaches and Homemade Vanilla ice cream! As all of Texas gets ready to pair the amazingly juicy and delicious fresh fruit bounty with a great bowl of their favorite cool dessert, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.

Although last year’s peach season wasn’t exactly pleasing for many orchards, it’s been reported that this year’s crop is bountiful and has been stocked on roadside stands since late May. Texas Hill Country growers, in particular, have seen a tremendous peach production to date, stating that some have been harvesting since May 5 and 6.

Making their announcement on social media on Monday, June 11, Blue Bell described the wonderful summer treat as a “mouth-watering combination of juicy, ripe peaches and our famous Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream…”

No sooner had they made the announcement then shoppers began to see it stocked on local store shelves. The company hasn’t revealed how long this flavor will be available, but according to local media, it generally lasts for the duration of the actual peach season (which typically lasts through August each year).
