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."

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. "

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."
    Comments from a visitor on July 01, 2010: (positive) "Went blueberry picking on June 30th. Delicious and plentiful! Also picked yellow transparent apples for applesauce. "

    Comments from a visitor on September 23, 2010: "Hello. I saw that you have a list of farmers market's and farms, as well as fruit stands. I went through them and saw the one I go to is not on the list. I live in Williamsburg, VA. The fruit/vegetable stand sells only in season items, from their farm. Right now they have the most amazing pumpkins, apples, squashes and potatoes! I actually used their pumpkins and your recipe to make a wonderful pie! It's called 'Smitty's Produce', and it's a decent sized stand right outside of their house under tents, but it has amazing stuff. It's right on Centerville road. Coming from the outlet malls, it's on your right hand side, before you get to the school. They are usually open from 8 am - 4 pm on weekdays, and as most stands, closed for the winter but open in spring through fall. They're stuff is so good, even though I work at Walmart, I buy ALL my produce and fruits from them instead of where I work everyday."

    Comments from a visitor on June 18, 2011: "We just visited the Williamsburg Farmer's Market recently and were very disappointed. A handful of the vendors did have in-season produce, there were several jam/jelly/pie vendors, and one honey vendor. What we did not like was the lack of customer service amongst most of the vendors. There was the sense that the customer owed them something and this was consistent throughout. The prices of the local goods were outrageous, especially considering that many of the vendors sell at other markets throughout the week for significantly less. A few of the tried to over-charge for clearly marked items, and one tried to short-change us by $2o. If you want to shop locally in this area, there are several smaller markets that really do appeal to the customer and operate fair and honest businesses
    Comments from a visitor on June 25, 2010: "We thought this would be an excellent spot to pick up fresh produce and sweets, only to find out quite the opposite. We found many out-of-season items being sold in June. For example, we found broccoli and lettuce (not from a greenhouse) sold just this past week, June 19, and one of the stands told us they sold out of peaches just two weeks ago. My husband and I looked at each other with wonder, since both raised on agriculture farms here in Virginia, we both know peaches do not come out till early July at best and broccoli is long gone in mid June with the heat. Very disappointing visit and not worth our drive there whatsoever."
