Pick your own fruit and veggies around Washington, DC

May 18, 2020

Strawberry and fruit picking looks a lot different this year but the farms are working with social distancing procedures in an effort for your family to enjoy their crop! A few farms sadly have closed while others are open for curbside and a few are offering reservation slots for you to come physically pick you own! Some things to keep in mind when planning to head to the farm: If you’re sick don’t go and pick! Kids should stay with adults at all times. Wash your hands before and after picking. Plan to pick with your own family this year instead of making it a group activity. Don’t plan on staying for picnics and running around. Keep a 6 foot distance from others.

Butlers Orchard– 22200 Davis Mill Rd, Germantown, MD 20876
A large variety of pick your own crops are available at Butler’s Orchard on a seasonal basis. Please see the Crop Calendar. May 18 is the kickoff date; weather dependent.

Homestead Farm– 15604 Sugarland Rd, Poolesville, MD 20837
They offer a variety of pick your own fruit options. Expected to reopen in early June.

Shlagel Farms– 12850 Shlagel Rd Waldorf MD 20601
Pick your own strawberry fields! They also offer pre-picked berries for those not wanting to pick. Check for updates on their Facebook page.

Wegmeyer Farms– 38299 Hughesville Rd, Hamilton, VA 20158
The Home Farm in Hamilton and the Oatlands field in Leesburg are open for strawberry u-pick by reservation only. Known for their delicious strawberries in the spring and unique and colorful pumpkins in the fall. Make a reservation for picking here. They are also offering pre-ordered drive thru options for farm fresh donuts, fresh squeezed strawberry lemonade, and pre-picked strawberries.

The strawberry plants are blooming now and hope to be ready to pick late May. The harvest of seasonal fruits goes through October.
