If you are looking for the best strawberry picking experience in Hampton Roads during a pandemic -…read morethis is it! Evan's Farms is legit -- a mom and pop operation with a small roadside stand. They sell all kinds of fresh produce as well as some meat and eggs. The strawberry fields are PACKED with berries -- beautiful and delicious. Plus, on both occasions we visited we were basically the only people there so it was easy to socially distance. This place doesn't have the bells and whistles of the larger farms with activities for kids and what not, but it's perfect if you're not looking for a crowded environment. Plus, it's reasonably priced. The strawberries are $2 per pound and a bucket holds about 5 pounds when completely full. They are CASH ONLY so do make sure you have some on hand when you go. I highly recommend Evan's Farms!

What would Thanksgiving be like without Flanagan Farms? How could one ever consider a grocery…read morestore turkey when they've experienced a farm to table fresh bird. I'll admit that I have some issues with my turkey having a leisurely stroll in early morning, then be carried in my vehicle on the same day to its ultimate demise in my oven on Thanksgiving Day. Thank you Virginia Indian Tribes for beginning the tradition & validating my actions. Turkey Day at Flanagan Farms is a special experience. It must begin extremely early, since the number of turkeys dressed & ready for one's choosing is constantly replenished as early as noon. The farm is filled with vehicles of the chosen purchasers & what must be those whose labor climaxes on this special day. The children of the farm owners & workers are not at school. It's a special & important day for them also. There were over a half dozen who worked extremely hard. The process begins with a telephone call to those on the list to assure that a fresh turkey is wanted this year. I also expect that the call is to assure that the long time purchasers are still living. The date & times of pickup are given. And the anticipation begins. There is nothing that tastes as delectable as a fresh turkey. That prize is not easy to obtain. My Uncle began ordering a Flanagan's turkey decades ago. His legacy has now been passed on to me, always with his instructions & reminders. Ours now rests in his secondary refrigerator tonight. Soon it will make its way to its final destination in my oven. There is a waiting list for those who haven't been on the turkey list for years. The open sided shed with tables holding the prized birds is surrounded by a Who's Who of Old Pungo & Princess Anne. No one seems anxious to choose their turkey & bring an end to the experience. It's a time to visit and savor the experience. Tempting one beyond belief are the tables filled with fresh produce, designed to add to the dining experience. I can never pass up the beautiful sweet potatoes, bagged or boxed, and the fresh collard greens. Today, added to the mix were amazingly huge turnips, along with the accompanying greens. As one walked into the turkey shed, it was impossible to pass the homemade jelly & jam display without stopping. I chose the strawberry-rhubarb, which I greatly anticipate. The individuals working turkey day were very diligent. Once I pointed out my choice, it was immediately moved to the checkout table, a young pre-teen bagged my choice, including the collards that were a "must have", and carried the treasures to my car. I had also selected a bag of sweet potatoes & 2 jars of jam. You can't go wrong with Flanagan Farms. They will highlight my Thanksgiving with the turkey & sweet potatoes for many years to come. I'm anxiously awaiting cooking the collards. And the strawberry-rhubarb jam is calling me. Yum..... I can't wait. By the way, leaving with my treasures, I absolutely had to do one more thing. A field with lots of turkeys who lucked out today was visible. "Hi guys!" I shouted. "See you next year!!"

This seemed to be the friendliest farm for us to go to with our dog! We went to another farm down…read morethe street and were greeted very rudely about our dog while still in the parking lot. Before we let him out of the car, my husband walked up to the stand and asked if our dog could be outside and they were very happy to have him outside of the lanes of the strawberry patch (understandable, he's a dog after all). The strawberries were abundant, big, and juicy! We easily filled up our bucket in minutes. We will 100% be back here next year instead of some of the biggest farms in the area.

They update their facebook page daily due to weather and strawberry conditions so it's easy to keep an eye out before you make the drive. It's buried deep in Pungo off a charming road and a beautiful leisurely drive through the countryside. We easily found it, pulled in, and weighed our baskets and were sent off to one of the fields to pick. They had 2-3 open at the time with several rows to choose from and plenty of parking. It was muddy, which I knew from their warning to wear the proper shoes and clothes, but we managed to find a few rows and found tons of available strawberries. I was worried about there not being enough for everyone but that was not a problem - we quickly picked about 7 pounds of beautifully ripe red berries and headed back to the main station to weigh them. We stood in a socially distanced line where I browsed their veggie plants (for making your own home garden) and their beautiful potted flowers. They have some friendly wildlife here as well you can interact with as the goats were happy to come to the fence and be seen. Great experience - I now have two jars of fresh strawberry jam and tons of frozen strawberries for smoothies! This may be a new tradition.

As the summer progresses, it seems that each variety gets sweeter and sweeter. All types of tomatoes are available throughtout the summer (they seem to really love growing Heirlooms, and boy, are they good), as well as melons, peaches, beets, squash, kale, a couple of varieties of peas --- and this year, even cauliflower! The only thing you won't find is strawberries, which is just fine because it seems the whole of Pungo is planted in strawberries every year. If you don't want to drive to Sandbridge, Cromwell's participates heavily in the Old Beach Farmer's Market, which is open every Saturday morning during the summer at Croc's restaurant, corner of 19th and Arctic. This is usually a little more convenient for me, but I really prefer to visit the farm itself, to make sure I'm not missing anything! Stop at Cromwell's once, and you'll never again visit your favorite grocery store's produce department during the summer.
