Case Fischer with Fischer & Wieser Specialty Foods in Fredericksburg, Texas talks with correspondent Tom Wilmer

Back In 1969, Mark Wieser, founded Fischer & Wieser’s Das Peach Haus® a roadside fruit stand, built utilizing a renovated 1870 German log cabin.

Das Peach Haus quickly became the place to go in Fredericksburg, Texas for locally harvested peaches and preserves.

Fast-forward a decade, longtime family friend, Case Fischer was harvesting summer peaches and a growing passion for the process of farming and preserving fresh peaches.
