Fischer & Wieser, an iconic Texas Hill Country gourmet food company, embodies the spirit and flavor of the region. Founded in 1969 by Mark Wieser, the company began with a humble roadside fruit stand, Das Peach Haus, built from a 19th-century German log cabin. This endeavor grew from the seeds planted by Mark’s father, J.B. Wieser, who started a peach orchard in 1928. The company blossomed when Case Fischer joined, proposing an expansion of their jams and jellies offerings, leading to the creation of Fischer & Wieser Specialty Foods.
The company’s commitment to quality and innovation is evident in its diverse range of products. Four Star Provisions, for example, offers a variety of sauces and dips with adventurous flavors and high-quality ingredients. Mom’s premium sauces, soups, and starters are inspired by worldly flavors, making international cuisine accessible to home cooks. Stick + Tine celebrates Asian flavors, while Fredericksburg Fudge has been crafting premium, scratch-made confections for over 30 years.
Fischer & Wieser also showcases a Culinary Wine Collection made in Texas with varietals from around the world, exclusively available at their retail locations and online. Moreover, they host a Culinary Adventure Cooking School at Das Peach Haus, offering a range of cooking experiences.
For nearly a century, the Fischer & Wieser Farmstead has been a significant part of Fredericksburg’s history, contributing to the community’s cultural and culinary landscape. The company’s growth from a small peach orchard to a nationally recognized gourmet food brand is a testament to its dedication to quality, innovation, and the rich heritage of Texas Hill Country.
