sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name
(see "What does Organic mean?").
The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for
a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this
page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined;

New! As inflation remains high, see this page for
reliable (tested) brands of generic canning lids at lower
costs, and cost-saving measures for
getting fruit and vegetables and home canning.

family trip. The national and state parks and monuments are open, and campgrounds usually cost between $10 and $40 per night. September to November is the best

New! We just went live with our latest website,
FunFactoryTours.com - As they name implies, you can find a fun factory tour, including chocolate, automobiles, historical forts and sites, famous buildings,
Active Federal facilities even fun geology: like fossils and volcanic areas
Note: Beware the copycat websites like the one that stole
our name and uses .farm extension: they copied my work and do NOT even update
the info! I make updates EVERY day. They use tech tricks to get higher rankings,
but have many more inaccuracies and out-dated info. Obviously, I cannot check
every farm every day, but I do check as many as I can every day, and respond to
all requests. They don't. Don't support the scammers!
Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook
page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or
Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally
overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with
the farm directly before you go!
And if you know of any farms I missed and want to
add a farm, please let me know!
I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find
anything out-of-date, wrong or not working -
please let me know! This website is supported by purchases you make

What's in season in November 2024, and other timely information:
Notes for November 2024: Crop growth is slowing down, except for Christmas tree farms and if you live in southern California, southern Texas, Florida or
along the Gulf coast where citrus are starting, and believe it or not, the blueberry
and strawberry season in those areas is about to begin. See your state harvest calendar
. This year, much of the country is still seeing mild weather, so lettuce, peas, broccoli, cabbage and other greens are thriving. And this is a good time to
get a canner and learn how to preserve foods for the winter,
like canning some applesauce, apple butter or
jam, which make great gifts. As do your own homemade specialty liqueurs! How about homemade cranberry sauce or a pumpkin pie
made from a real pumpkin for the holidays? See our comprehensive list of
easy
home canning, jam and jelly
making, preserving, drying and freezing directions. You can access
recipes and other resources from the drop down menus at the top of the page or the site search.
A fun winter activity is to
make your own ice cream,
even gelato, or low fat or low sugar ice cream - see this page. If you have any questions or suggestions,
feel free to write me!

2013 - Went twice during blueberry season and was amazed at how many
blueberries there were. It was a long drive, but beautiful and well worth
it! Abundant blueberries for $2/lb. No crowds to deal with and had no
encounters with wasps, etc. Already planning to go again next year! (James
City, VA)"
A visitor writes on July 03, 2013: "Me
and my two young kids had a great experience today at bush neck! David was
very nice and the fruit was beautiful. We picked and smacked on blueberries
and peaches and enjoyed the singing birds and georgeous property! It was a
long drive out there but well worth the trip! We will definitely be back
:-)"
Comments from a visitor on May 05, 2011: (positive)
"My 11yr old daughter and I went to Bush Neck Farms in Williamsburg last
year. We had a great time and was pleasantly surprised to find the owner was
her retired elementary school principal. The owners were very nice and
accommodating. The peaches were in abundance and sweet. I believe they have
only white peaches. The peaches & blueberries were easy to pick in well
maintained groves. The blueberries were at the end of their season, but we
still found plenty to pick. Will definitely go back again."
Comments from a visitor on May 01, 2011:
(positive) "We have been going
to Bush Neck Farms several times a summer for 8 years. The owners are
wonderful- they have watched our children grow up and care about our family.
They love what they do and how they do it. The location is stunningly
beautiful and the peaches and blueberries are amazing. By far our favorite
picking location! "
Comments from a visitor on July 13, 2010:
(positive) "I visit Bush Neck
Farm with my family every year. We always enjoy the blueberries, apples, and
peaches. The prices are reasonable, not outrageous, and the owners- while
they don't always seem bubbly or excited to see you- are good people. The
gentleman that owns the farm and spends most of the summer out in the heat
has always been patient and pleasant when I have been there. I hope that
future visitors are not so quick to judge. "
Comments from a visitor on July
11, 2010: "The farm is a half-hour drive from Rte.60. I note that one
former visitor used the term "crumudgeonly" (sic)to describe the owners of
this farm. I think the actual term should be "curmudgeonly." I would use the
simple term "grouches." Be forewarned: They only accept cash AND only checks
from James City County, Williamsburg, Poquoson and Yorktown!? They were
skeptical about allowing use of our own picking containers as well. Needless
to say, we moved on without their berries. There are friendlier farms in the
surrounding counties."

picking on June 30th. Delicious and plentiful! Also picked yellow
transparent apples for applesauce. "

Comments from a visitor on June 26,
2011: ""This place also has u-pick broccoli, cabbage, May
peas, Romaine lettuce too. Great place, couldn't say enough about them and
the availability of picking
Comments from a visitor on May 10, 2009: "I
have been going to Henleys for 20 years and it is a family run farm and they
are all very friendly and caring and if you ever get the opportunity to meet
any of them you will know what I mean especially the older Mrs. Henley very
sweet old lady just like her husband not saying that Stormy isn't sweet but
Mrs Henley has a few years on her. LOL. Make sure you go all the way down to
the farm and not just to the farm stand Not saying the farm stand isn't good
but the extra mile is well worth the trip for the harvest. All year long if
they have a growing season for something they have it growing. Hours are
always subject to change to call first.. They take most form of payment
including credit cards. They have portajohns for those emergency stops. In
the fall they have a hayride to the pumpkin patch and on mother's day they
have hanging flowers at reasonable prices for gifts. You can also buy some
bedding plants or veggie plants for your own garden. "

Land of Promise Farms - Pecans
3169 Land of Promise Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23457. Phone: (757) 421-3625. Email: bhorsley@vt.edu. Open: Call for
appointment; Pecans only, only in season. Directions: See their website for directions. Payment: Cash, only.. TPick your own pecans in season, beginning in
November. Must call for an appointment, as the farm's other businesses include raising show pigs for 4H-ers and sweet corn. The pecan orchard is behind the
3169 house in a fenced area. The pecan picking was bustling today because it had been listed in the newspaper, and the other farm with pecans in our area
has not opened for pick your own this year. Pecans were $3 a pound, which is quite reasonable if you check the store price for pecans in shell.
A visitor writes on
November 19, 2014: "Mrs. Horsley called back promptly and was very
gracious. We set up a time in the afternoon, and when I got there two other
people were picking pecans. They are absolutely delicious and flawless and
quite reasonably priced. Mrs. Horsley was very kind to me even though her
whole family are Hokies and I am a Wahoo. This is a small part of their very
large operation. It is great that they make their pecans available to us.
We're planning on some pie for Thanksgiving! This was listed as Horsley's Blackwater Farm in a 2008 posting on the pickyourown.org website. The name (don't
know if this is a change, but it's what's listed on the sign) is now Land of Promise Farms. Same phone number. "

especially in the summer time! One visit and you will be hooked on it. The
