There is enough space to maintain social distancing protocols in both the blueberry and blackberry sections. Although you can't pick peaches here, you can buy them fresh! Toddler and double stroller friendly. There's not a lot of signage. You'll want to stop at the market at the front to pay for your picking containers. If you keep driving (like we did!) your little ones will get to see more of the farm which is cool!

Plus the berries were delicious of course, as were the corn, watermelon, and tomatoes we bought at the farm stand and all really affordable! I'd recommend going at a slower time - we got there at about 10:00 on a Saturday and by 11:00 it started getting crowded. For the first hour it was easy to avoid other families, and get lost in picking out our berries, but when it got crowded it became a little harder, but not impossible to stay spaced out. Plus only 45 minutes from DC, it's a nice get-out-of-the-house, forget about COVID, and get-out-of-the-city activity, and you could even do it with friends you are distancing from and spread out while picking. And bonus - they plant and give to Maryland Food Bank. We plan on going regularly until the season ends, for sure.

They never disappoints and the customer service is always outstanding. Miller's is a absolutely wonderful place i always remember coming here as a kids but back then they had some competition because there was two other farms located in this area. Miller's has always been the best as far as I can remember out of the three.

La Plata Farmers Market is a cute, small farmers market with a lot of neat items to purchase…read more I decided to pop in for my first visit recently and enjoyed it. While the market is on the small side, they maximize space and have quite a few vendors and plenty of parking. Despite being able to conduct a rather brisk walkthrough of the market, I was also able to pick up several items along the way before I headed to another market. Overall, if you're in the area this market is worth a visit. It's also worth considering if you're not in the area but keeping in mind that it's small would be prudent.

Came here in early May on the recommendation of some friends who live in the area. Since we were…read morevisiting La Plata, we figured we'd see what the locals recommend. Pretty respectable-sized establishment! There were a lot of vendors selling things that were not food/produce. I think I saw more people selling soaps, creams, and body butter than any other product. Great selection to choose from if that's what you're looking for. I ended up having a nice chat with one of the guys who had a nice variety of soaps both scented and unscented. Several vendors were selling potted plants. I imagine the produce stands are more represented in the peak of summer and fall. There were a few when we went (early May) selling some cabbages and other leafy greens as well as some apples and root veggies. At the one end of the parking lot were several trucks hawking food and drinks. I had been told to look for a donut truck, but none to be found the day we went. There was one selling coffees, another selling cold-pressed juices, and another selling pizzas. Bonus: there is a port-a-potty available to all. I've been to bigger markets without one and I think it's brilliant that one is available.

Thanks for the memories! This farm market and orchard was a local institution that I frequently…read moremiss. Autumn hay rides, pumpkin patch and pick your own apple/peach orchard were a staple of the late summer and fall seasons. Festival foot long half smokes on the side porch, organic local fruits and veggies, every local mason jar good imaginable, homemade (pumpkin!) ice cream and apple cider donuts. Alas, it went the way of the generic suburban housing development sprawl in the name of "progress". Too political? Cherry Hill Farms, you are often remembered!

They're open from 8am-12noon on Saturdays, but be sure to account for some time looking for parking (hint: it's pretty challenging). I frequent Honey Brook Farms for their raw cheese and their organic meats, though it can be on the higher end. I also love Welle Made co Ghananian hand pies -- the vegan king oyster mushroom one sells out so fast, I have yet to try! The curry one was great nonetheless. There's also this one empanada place which respectfully makes GLUTEN FREE EMPANADAS. This is not a drill... if you're GF, RUN don't walk for them!! In the spring/summer time, one of the farms leaves out apple samples which is super sweet! I look forward to coming here to refill on organic meats and trying different local goodies!
