U-Pick Farms in Virginia and Maryland

The summer and fall are wonderful times of year to pick fresh produce with the family. Here is a comprehensive list in MD and VA.

I recently picked strawberries with my boys at Brossman's Family Farm in Leesburg, VA. It isn't a pick-your-own (PYO), but the owner was kind enough to let us do it. The boys and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and they couldn't wait to get home to eat their strawberries! That experience got me thinking that not only did I want to compile a list of u-pick locations in my area, but this is also a great way to get kids to eat their fruits and vegetables. Anyways, here's a helpful list. Enjoy your local farmers! (www.tiny-trots.com)
