Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Southeastern Virginia, Including Richmond, Virginia Beach, Etc.? Farms are open and safe! Scroll down this page and you will see the U-Pick farms in Southeastern Virginia, Including Richmond, Virginia Beach, Etc.,
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;
click on it and it will open their website. If you find anything outdated or
inaccurate, see the customer and farmer menus (as appropriate) at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!
New!
Pricing information - I am building a pricing guide to help you know what
the typical prices are for each crop.
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anything out-of-date, wrong or not working -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 March 2021, and other timely information:
Notes for March 2021: 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 ripe, 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!

people."
Comments from a visitor on May 10, 2010: "My family and I went
to Wood's Orchard in Hampton Va Saturday 5/8/10 after reading what another
customer had wrote on this site about them. THEY WERE EXCELLENT!!! Friendly,
great customer service. The berries are giant..bigger than the size of golf
balls. On the tractor ride they tell you a little about the farm's history.
It is family owned. There is an employee that stays in the field and comes
by to "check" on you. Once back at the store, they bring you carts to take
the berries to the counter. The plants are on top of plastic so they are not
really dirty. My husband and I picked over 30 lbs in 30 minutes. Easy
picking! Thanks for this site!!! Looking forward to going there for peaches
soon."
Comments from a visitor on May 02, 2010: "We visited Woods Orchard
on May 1, 2010 to for the u-pick strawberries. They take you to the field on
a hay ride, a short distance for a $2.00 per adult charge. The berries are
$2.00 a lb but you use and keep their flats. The berries are big, juicy and
smell delicious! The fields are beautiful and the plants are on plastic with
no weeds, the berries are very, very easy to pick. We picked 18 lbs in about
a half an hour. They said they would probably have berries for about 5-6
more weeks. "

A visitor writes on July 29, 2013: "July
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 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 isnt 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 isnt 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. Open: Call for appointment;
Pecans only, only in season. Directions: See their website for directions.
Payment: Cash, only.. This is 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. Pick 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.
(UPDATED: May 21, 2017, JBS)
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! "
