I love that my algorithm in social media led me to this place ! I have visited other farms un the area and this one is definitely in my top 3! From Chesapeake it was about a 25 minute drive out to this farm in Pungo. We went early, around 12 , on a Saturday afternoon. We wanted to be the rain. You have to purchase and choose available pick times online. You can arrive anytime but can't do the u-pick until your designated slot time. We arrived and there was plenty of parking. We looked around the market first. It wasn't huge but they had a great variety of different jams, jellies, salsa, baked goods and fresh fruit and veggies. Everything was reasonably priced! We went directly outside the market to a little table to check in for blueberry picking! There young lady was polite . She scanned our qr code and gave us arm bands. She did let us know that there were a couple blackberry bushes out there as well that we could pick also. It isn't advertised because they're aren't a lot of plants. A short walk to the entrance to the patch and there picking began!! It was nice because there weren't a lot of people out so the rows weren't crowded. The bushes still had lots of ripe fruit on them! We picked for about 20 minutes, Paid 8 dollars for our pint and went to the car to take a much needed cool off break. We were told that we could walk or drive over to the orchard. It wasn't a long walk, but in the heat, and if you're carrying a box of peaches, it could be a bit much. We drove over to the orchard, parked and checked in at a little shed nearby. we picked peaches for about twenty minutes and even noticed that there were a couple nectarine trees as well. the peaches were not ripe.However, that did not deter us from picking. A simple trip home and storing them in a brown paper bag would ripen them up perfectly in about three days! We paid 20 for a half peck box. It filled up very quickly. Overall great experience!! We are going back to try the ice cream and to pick apples during that season! read more

It's September which means FALL! First up on our Fall bucket list was apple picking. I believe Cullipher may be the only farm in the area who does apple picking. It was...ok. How they have you walk to the stand, pick apples, then walk back was a bit backtracking, and a little much for my disabled self. It is a farm and I dealt with it. It's early in the season so they only had 2 rows of the orchard open, also not their fault, it is still early. The worker at the stand didn't know which apples were in which row which wasn't helpful because we were looking for a specific one and of course murphy's law, we went down the wrong row first. That said, we had a blast! The apples we picked were delicious and I've already made a large batch of apple butter which turned out perfect. Unfortunately I do think we will travel to a different farm next year. read more

I had a lovely time picking peaches with friends. I have been here in the past a few times for sunflower fields and strawberry picking. It was a hot summer Friday. My friends and I purchased tickets an ahead of time online and we did have to ask where to go for peach picking once we got there. The fruit fields were gorgeous and kept so nice. At the peach fields we were given a 1/2 peck baskets to pick and then purchase. After picking we paid at the booth, we checked out the farm stand where they sell fresh homemade ice cream. The ice cream flavors rotate. Flavors I noticed were sweet corn and Ube. This is a great place to bring family for fun activities. read more

My family and I were looking for inexpensive fall festivities. So we ended up at Cullipher Farm. It's a bit of a drive out in Pungo, but definitely worth going. When we arrived it was a lot of people there. They have cows, a playground, picnic tables, a hay ride (seasonal), a corn maze, apple and different fruit picking, a pumpkin patch, farmers market, ice cream, and etc. They also have port-a-pottys on site. This was my first time and me and my family enjoyed ourselves. Even though it was a lot going on people wise we were able to get a picnic table and had lunch there. They had 2 food trucks out there also. The kids were having fun on the playground which is a decent size. The hay ride ends at 2pm so we missed that. But it looked fun. The market part isn't big. But they have huge brussel sprouts, tomatoes, different local honey, pies, apple cider, watermelon, frozen meat, and like 10-14 different types of apples. I seen apples I never knew existed. I'd love to have tried them all. Their apple cider is delicious. I got a quart and made apple cider floats, and they were so good!! Add a little cinnamon sugar and pumpkin spice and it taste like pie!! My daughter had an apple cider slushy with vanilla ice cream and she was hooked!! She went 4 days in a row!! Lol. The baked goods were different pies, cookies, muffin tops, and more. Everything was priced reasonably. The people there were friendly and everyone was just having a good time. I recommend taking a trip out here if you want a laid back fun time!! Check them out!! (Check their website for updates on hours, certain activities are seasonal) Also if you're in the area check out the dinosaur park down the street in front of the Military Aviation Museum. The park is small, but it's free and they have dinosaur statues you can take pics with. read more

Came here this weekend and while my kids had a good time it definitely seems like something's could be improved. Especially the fact that you have to pay to pick. Spending over $50 for a bag of apples and a bucket of grapes is so steep. I understand that it is expensive to have farms like this but if you want people to pay those prices I would definitely consider updating your location. Add actual bathrooms, more things for kids to do and some more animals for a small petting zoo. It was also not very clear on where to go to start picking apples/grapes. Wish they had it more clearly labeled. read more

Every year I make a trek out to Pungo for fresh sweet berries from Cullipher's Farm. There are a bunch of different produce to pick from and even yummy ice cream or strawberry slushes. The workers are nice and laid back so you can wander around with out feeling rushed. When your back can't take picking the fields don't worry they have pre picked options galore. Before you leave be sure to say hello to the farm animals! read more

Racism is alive and well in the south. If I could give this place a zero I would. After discussing with my wife I decided to write a review. Not because this place deserves a well written review but to warn any lesbian/ gay couple or anyone POC that the staff are rude. We attended there fall festival and upon arriving they had DIRTY portable bathrooms that did not lock. There coffee cart mood swing was the worst COFFEE IVE EVER HAD. But I mean it's a hit or miss. So we went to get another drink. The cider. Upon walking up to the stand the woman making the drinks ignored my wife and when we asked to get a cider her co worker poured the drink and filled it with an already opened flat sparkling water. DISGUSTING AND 10 dollars. Upon arriving to the apple fields we were greeted by young girls who were talking very badly about having to work that day. Again these are children supervised by another woman WHO WAS NOT HOSPITABLE AT ALL. BADICALLY THREW OUR wrist bands at us. Also did not disclose that the bag of apples we would be picking is 18 dollars on top of the admission fee. OVERALL all we heard was the band go on and on about Covid and rude staff along with the worst coffee and drinks I've ever wasted money on. We drove over two hours to be there and were treated like absolute trash. Overall I will be making a video on tik tok and instagram warning other because a review is not enough. read more

This place is neat to explore. There's plenty of land to have plenty of different crops to grow and customers to pick from. On this very hot summer day, I wasn't inclined to pick anything but the market was a wonderful draw for my curiosity. It has packaged goods (jams, pickled foods, syrups) and fresh veggies and fruits (they sell figs!). But the most note-worthy are the unique homemade breads! There were savory ones like bacon cheese and then the sweet fruity one like peach and the muffin tips like chocolate red velvet, blueberry, etc I believe they have ice cream too so I need to go back to try all these items! read more

Cullipher Farm - Farmers Market Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Very disappointing experience. The atmosphere was extremely unwelcoming, especially the lady at the cabin taking tickets. She didn't greet us or say a single word. Not even eye contact. She just held out her phone to scan our tickets and her attitude was unpleasant when giving instructions. Unfortunately, the staff made what should have been a fun visit to a farm, feel very uncomfortable. Management should seriously address the customer service and attitude of the employees. read more

I really like the variety of melons to choose from this summer. I thought the prices were decent in light of prices at other markets closer to the city. It was a drive to get there, but worth it, read more

I came here for a school field trip with my daughter's school. I had the best experience here learning about strawberries, the farm, and picking strawberries. I paid $9 per person, and that came with a carton to fill with strawberries, a wagon ride, and a lesson on strawberries. The strawberries that I picked were so sweet and juicy. I even stopped by their little shop and bought a delicious berry pie. They also have a very cute and fun playground there for the little ones. I enjoyed my time here. read more

This is the only place to pick apples in the Hampton Roads area and they know and act like it. 1. My first complaint is why does the farm close at 6, but they stop allowing people to do apple picking at 2 pm? The orchard isn't even that big to be worry about people being out there too late. Last year, I arrived there 7 minutes after they stopping letting people go to the orchard. This year, I made it with 15 minutes to spare. 2. When you come during the week, they only had a total of four rows available to pick apples. There few apples that were on the trees, were rotten. It took a while to find some that were pickable. The chemicals that spray on the apples made my hands itch, which is a first time that has ever happened to me in the over a decade I have been applepicking in other states. I was planning on making apple sauce so I had to supplement more apples from their market. 3. The apples in the market - there were so many bruised and less than ideal apples in the market. You can't always control what is happening in the orchard, but you would think there would be more effort in what is placed in the market. This is my last trip to the farm and I guess I will be traveling to other parts of the state for better experience. read more

They served peach sorbet that tasted like a rotten smelling freezer. I waited in line to exchange for five minutes when someone says it's " worst ice cream ever right? Why are serving it the smell alone will tell you it's bad. I didn't want to continue waiting. I should have gotten a refund. read more

Went for strawberry picking. As if $30 for some Berries wasn't already ridiculous, they have an INSANE amount of rules. No photos without permission, can't bring your own water (while you do labor you are paying to do lol), just generally pretty obnoxious experience. There are a lot of other strawberry farms locally i would recommend somewhere else. read more

Fresh produce from the farm is delicious. Favorites are Corn, Peaches, potatoes, heirloom tomatoes. Muffin tops, strawberries, zucchini and melons. Pleasant helpful Staff, fun place to go, a growing farm, to go! read more

We drive from Norfolk to pick organic strawberries and blueberries. The clerk here at Cullipher Farms just informed me that they in fact do spray their strawberries and blueberries with pesticides. They are conventionally grown here and not organic. On a positive note, they did have lots of strawberries to pick. They did charge me 4.00 to pick blueberries, but there are no blueberries, so that was a big lie, just to get my 4.00. I'm. Going to attempt to get a refund. I'll keep you posted. read more

My friends and family and I were so excited to go apple picking and pumpkin picking. First we'll start with the apple picking, which was the main reason for our visit. While we were waiting in line, a family was approaching the check-in line, they had a baby in an all terrain stroller. Perfect for apple picking. They were about 20 feet from the line when the adult employee loudly and rudely announced baby strollers were not allowed in the Orchard. She was very nasty and aggressive. She was hollering that federal regulations do not allow for strollers in the Orchard. The dad said what do I do with my baby? She says no strollers allowed! Wow, feeling warm and fuzzy already. We're walking to the apple trees that are available for pick your own. We had to walk for quite a ways as most of the Orchard was roped off. We finally found two rows that we could pick from. There were almost no apples on the trees. The few apples that were on the trees, were rotten. Not a little rotten. Extremely rotten split open, with holes and giant sunken bruises. They were nasty! The ground was littered with rotten apples also and there were wasps everywhere eating all the rotten fruit on the ground. The apples we did pick were not that great and it took a while to find some that were pickable. And while we were picking one of our friends who had checked in before we arrived, told us that they were berated for bringing their water bottles. They did not realize it was just against the rules. The employee berated them loudly and very rudely that federal regulations do not allow water bottles in the orchard. Another friend had her baby in a carriage and she wasn't allowed to bring the carriage. So they had to carry the baby he's only a year old but he weighs like 40 pounds. He's a giant baby, so that wasn't fun for them. Another friend had to go back to the car to put her purse in the car because purses are not allowed. It just wasn't fun being yelled at and regulated to death just to pick a few rotten nasty apples. Moving onto the pumpkin patch. There weren't many pumpkins in the patch to pick. But we were determined to each get a pumpkin. There were.10 of us. It took a while for us to find a pumpkin each. Between pumpkin patches, there are wide mowed strips of grass to walk on. We were all walking on the large mode area when an employee shouted out across two patches for us to stop walking in the pumpkin patch because we were going to break the pumpkins vines. We shouted back we are not in the patch. We are walking on the mowed strip of grass. She said well make sure you don't walk on the pumpkin vines in the patch because we don't want the vines damaged! We looked at each other like is this really happening? These people are so nasty. And we were exactly where we were supposed to be. We went to the market. There wasn't much to choose from. We did get the apple cider donuts. Which were absolutely amazing! We also had some homemade ice cream. It was wonderful. I got the pumpkin cheesecake and apple pie in a waffle cone. My husband got sweet potato fluff. The reason I'm leaving two stars is one for the donuts two for the ice cream. We bought 2 small containers of donuts, two pumpkins, 2 small bags of apples and one tomato. They came to $72. Wow. I was stunned. Next, we went to the corn maze. It was very underwhelming. There were broken branches that we had to step over. Vines growing everywhere. And it smelled moldy. It didn't seem maintained very well. It was a little decrepit and stinky. We only went halfway and turned around and went back. Wasted $20 there. Finally it's time to go to the sunflower field and pick sunflowers. I've been looking forward to this all day. We exit the maze and say all right let's go get some sunflowers. Our friend said we already went there. There are four sunflowers in the whole field don't bother. They showed us a picture of them standing in the sunflower field. It was empty. I saw one sunflower in the picture. At this point, I am extremely frustrated and very disappointed. We were really looking forward to having a fun day. We did not want to create bad memories so we laughed it off and joked about the unpleasant experiences we were having. After all, where you are is not important, who you're with is what matters. We decided we were going to enjoy each other's company regardless of our imperfect day read more

Cute apple picking and play area for kids. They do not allow strollers in the picking area because of larger regulations. Both me and other family who also were turned away with a stroller found staff to be very rude about it. I just wished it was listed more prominently on their website. read more

Cullipher Farm is one of the most well rounded U-pick farms in the area. They offer a wide range of fruits (and sunflowers) to pick throughout the summer and fall months. They have quite the packed schedule and don't skip a beat. Since we've lived here, we have picked strawberries, blueberries peaches, apples and grapes. Check their website to see the different crops throughout the year. Some things to note: - check their Facebook to keep up-to-date with last minute changes due to weather and if the fields are overpicked of fruit in season - they have a great market on site, where you also cash out for your pickings (when they do apples, you cash out at the shack near the apple orchard). They have fresh produce (place of origin indicated), jams, preserves, butters, salsas, sauces, fresh baked goods, ciders, meats & seafood and even baked goods that they make on site. They also offer Nightingale ice cream sandwiches that I had for the first time last weekend (GASP! I know, I have definitely been missing out) - there is a separate shop, next door to the market that sells ice cream, mini donuts and you MUST try their slushies! It's usually the fruit that is in season to pick. Love the apple and strawberry! - KID FRIENDLY ALERT - they have a huge play area in the back, equipped with all sorts of modified mini tractors with bicycle pedals (put some oomph into them, they require some muscle), slides, swings etc. We have picked basically everything and our favorite fruits to pick here are apples, and I believe they might be the only ones to offer apples in the fall in this area, unless you go to Carter mountain. We've also purchased a variety of produce, most recently the corn and it was so fresh and delicious! Get some sunshine and pick some fruits! Stay safe, Friends! read more

(My kids said to give this place 0 star and 1 star.) If you like rules, this is the place for you! Probably the most ridiculous rule was that we were not allowed to bring water with us on this 90 degree day. We walked 10 steps before my 4 year old sadly said "I'm thirsty already." Most places inflate the price of PYO fruit because they expect you to sample the fruit, but this place inflates the price of the peaches ($18 for a half peck), charges a $3/person admission fee on weekends, AND strictly enforces the no eating rule. In my opinion, part of the fun of peach picking is sampling a peach to decide which peach is the tastiest and which tree to pick from. But 5 minutes after we arrived, the employee snuck up on us and caught us eating a peach. When I asked if I could finish it, she told me to put the half eaten peach in my PYO bag. What! Other rules included: Must sanitize before entering field. No bags allowed. No chairs allowed. No umbrellas allowed. No food you bring allowed. Should I add to the list "no fun allowed"? read more

Love their pies! Mixed berry is our favorite. Best tomatoes around! You pick prices are high, but you're paying for the experience.

We had a great time here! We're new to the area and miss the farms we used to go to back home. This was so comforting with the amazing kids play area! We especially loved the duck races and the corn husk teepee. With 3 young kids, I never need 3 full size slushies for them. It's usually a struggle at places to try and figure out if I can have an extra cup, then try and pour it while the kids are all watching and there's never a good place to try and pour a slushie. ANYWAY this place sells slushies by the half cup! A perfect size for the young ones!! We picked some sunflowers, bought out the little market store and called it a day! We loved all their produce but we weren't fans of the baked goods we got. There wasn't anything wrong with them, we just didn't live the cider donuts or the peach crumb bread. Friends got their muffin tops and said they were amazing! read more

This farm was awesome! We went for the you pick pumpkin patch and boy did it deliver. Many different kinds and sizes to choose from at a very reasonable price. No ticket purchase needed for entry. We also bought a few things from the farm market too- heirloom tomatoes and muscadines. When we left there was even a good truck arriving and ice cream being served. We will definitely we back for another fruit picking season. Lovely time. read more

I think we stopped at both the markets today - it is now split into two. One is mostly just fresh flowers and sunflowers sold either by the bunch pre-arranged or per stem. I got some beautiful, large sunflowers for $1 a stem for a bouquet at home and looked at some of the beautiful other flower arrangements. Small window advertised pound cakes but I've already hit my pastry items for the week. There is another sister market around 4 miles further down with salsa, canned pickles and okra (YUM), fresh fruits and veggies, honey, and some other items. Shop local! Support small business! Great, yummy items to choose from and some awesome fresh and local produce and honey and canned goods. read more

I love Cullipher farm. This location is typically where we would go during the fall for their corn mazes and sunflower fields, but it looks like they've done some renovations to make an expanded market and they've moved their ice cream here as well! I was happy to see all their usual produce: fruits and veggies, bread, jams, meat, and cold beverages! They also have a large play area for kids in the back, equipped with ride on toys. We came here around mid day so it was way too hot to explore! Maybe during the fall when it's cooler out. Of course, we had to grab some ice cream! The have an assortment of flavors for $2.25 a scoop, and you know I always have to have a waffle cone, which is $0.50 extra! There is plenty of seating around the building for you to cool off and relax. Every summer we look forward to going peach picking! They have plenty of trees to pick from and they normally rotate which rows to choose from so that you are receiving ripe fruit. Today, many of the peaches were pretty firm still, but they will continue to ripen after we picked them. From their Facebook page (7/17/2021) their hours are: Tuesday - Friday: 8AM - 1PM, last pickers enter at 12PM Saturday - Sunday: 8AM - 6PM, last pickers enter at 5PM I would continue to check their Facebook if you plan to come, as they remain pretty active on social media lately! read more

I'm so happy to be back on the east coast. Fresh produce all over the place!! I have been following Cullipher Farms on my Facebook for a while now. I finally got the opportunity to pick some strawberries. I headed out to Virginia Beach Saturday morning. We arrived around 11a. It was one of their first days open. There was a small amount of people already picking. You were able to pick spaced apart and pick without your mask... as long as you were far from others. Otherwise a mask stays on. The staff were amazing. They were so friendly. The indoor produce market had produce from Florida and Georgia. I think North Carolina too. They had strawberries from their farm and asparagus. Everything is priced well. It is not overly priced. Our strawberries were $16 a bucket. The bucket averaged 5-5.5lbs. So in the end it was about $3 a pound. Perfect! I had 3 buckets full. When I got home I cleaned them, trimmed the tops and froze them. My freezer smelled amazing. I can not wait to get more produce from them. They are worth the drive. read more

Coming to Cullipher farm is always a treat! We come almost every season for a different experience each time. Whether it be pumpkin, blueberries or strawberries, their selection is always excellent. This past visit we picked blueberries for the first time and it was so much fun. They had so many to pick from, with a lot more getting ready as well. We also did strawberries and surprisingly there was also still so many good ones to be picked. We also got to play in the kids play area which was fun. Finished off with some really delicious ice cream and mini donuts. We chose a few items from inside the shop as well. Staff members were so friendly and welcoming. I easily could have stayed there all day. I highly recommend a visit here. You won't be disappointed. read more

My favorite farm in Virginia Beach. They have every type of fruits for picking each season. They also have really good ice cream. Best of all they have the best market for fresh produce and meat and other food items. You really don't need to go to a grocery store once you begin shopping here. Everything is so affordable. There is a free huge play area in the back of the market which is great for kids to do something for free and be outside. However, they do not allow dogs, I wish they did allow dogs. read more

I make sure to hit up the strawberry fields here each year but I actually had never done apple picking til this year. I figured what better way to start off fall? Though the morning I went was hot still it was fun and very perfect for picking. I was super happy to take home a few pounds of apes to enjoy. I made a delicious apple cake and an apple pie. Plus I still have a few apples. Now in the summer their strawberry fields are top notch. And the corn maze is a lot of fun in the fall. I recommend them year round to enjoy the fresh produce and tasty local treats they have. The strawberry butter is divine and the apple cider is perfection. read more

Cullipher Farm - Their apples made one very delicious pie. - Farmers Market Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Cullipher Farms in years past, for me, was the go to for kindergarten field trips. They were always so kind. I went there for several years with all of my kids. Not sure what has changed. My youngest daughter is now in college. My mom, aged 79, wanted to go and pick strawberries and I had good memories of Cullipher so I recommended this. So sorry I did.... We arrived and were given buckets and told we couldn't take any bags with us. I had my very small purse,that contained my car keys and my credit cards, and I was sure my small bag wouldn't be a problem. Just to be sure, I transferred my items to a small grocery bag. We went and picked strawberries and I carried my grocery bag and picked. I filled my bucket that they gave me and left the fields and paid for my bucket of overpriced strawberries. My mom and my stepdad were still picking and I thought I'd bring them a bottle of water (it was really hot and they are both aged 79). Just as I was walking out of the fields a very aggressive woman started shouting at me "WE TOLD YOU NO BAGS AND NO FOOD OR DRINKS ON THE FIELDS. YOU WERE TOLD THE RULES BEFORE YOU STARTED PICKING". I was stunned. I asked the woman if she was seriously questioning me for bringing water to two elderly persons when the temperature outside was in the 80's. And I also asked her if her concern was my bag and offered to let her look in my bag to if her fear was that we were stealing strawberries. She responded that it "was a health issue and we can't have people bringing food and drinks on the fields". I then asked her what the health issue was with bottles of water given to elderly pickers and she then told me to talk to her boss. I asked her for her name and she refused to give it to me. I then walked up to the other lady who was working the counter, and pointed to the really rude woman and asked for her name, and she refused to give me her name. read more

Apple picking season has come and gone. Luckily this farm was on my radar. Found it through pictures from our CM Yoonie so I say Thank you Soo Much!!! There are many farms that offer the Apple picking experience, but the drive was several hours away, and then factor in the rise of gasoline prices it would cost a few hundred to pick an Apple lol. Signage is visible almost everywhere as we got closer to the farm in terms of turning right and left, and then parking onto the field not to far from the corn stalks. Apple picking on a Friday morning was only open for a few hours. I would recommend going on their Facebook page for updates or calling before heading over. Customer service is great here and everyone was friendly. One of the employees told us to walk past where we parked the car to a little small shack for the Apple picking experience. There we picked a small bushel bag that was estimated to be $15-$18 to fill since it was weighed by the pound. The second bag was $40-$45 and we decided against that since there's only the two of us. We walked up and down the orchard just picking where we were allowed, since the choices varied weekly by availability. It was a lot of fun and we took pictures without having to battle the crowds. Once done we walked over to the sunflower field and picked an unopened one to cut to take home. The hubs convinced me that I would enjoy the blossoming of the sunflower and I did! Bring a bucket or bottle with water to settle your cuttings in so it doesn't wilt in the car. It's priced the same per flower regardless of how small or big. Oh and the farm store offers apples to purchase for those that do not want to pick. There is abundance of corn, cookies, salsa, dressing, bbq sauce, meats, and breads to choose from. We settled on the Rosemary loaf, apple cider, 6 corn which we wished we had bought more, and a dozen and a half of mini donuts. I chose the apple cider, salted caramel, and pumpkin spice flavors. The size are perfect for toddlers, and those weighing their food IMO lol Everything was excellent and consumed within a few days. Next time we would bring our cooler to take home some of their sealed meats. Oh they also have ice-cream. I'd try to get their sourdough loaf on our next visit. :) Support local business and farms!!!! read more

I'm going to assume they've had problems with theft because the rules are crazy. This is a family place & many people had infants/small children. No bags no water no strollers no nothing out on the strawberry fields. We didn't end up picking due to the no bag rule ( I had a diaper bag with me). The price is okay for the amount of fresh strawberries you can buy. We did try a slushie and vanilla ice cream both very good. It was nice to say we went but beware this place is not stroller friendly & leave ur bags in the car if you want to pick your own fruits. read more

It was a gorgeous afternoon for a first visit to Cullipher Farm. The market is well known at the beach and surrounding area for quality produce. The location is Pungo, yes that may seem like a long way for us City Slickers I know. However on a nice Summer day you will appreciate a nice drive with fresh air with kids and dog in toe. They do have distribution into the Southside of HRVA. At one point they did offer a satellite off First Colonial in VB. The market is situated off the road with awesome signage that makes it difficult to miss them. GPS also works perfectly. Parking is a drive up to the front of the stand that actually gets a bit hectic when busy. Be careful backing with small children. My daughter and I explored a bit with the objective of getting the lesser known ice-cream from the stand that comes from Virginia local Homestead Creamery. Their dairy is in Western Virginia and they supply local stores with milk and other products. I'm a huge fan. The system for getting ice-cream is to purchase at the counter, then it's scooped up out of the tiny storefront a few feet away. They offer traditional and waffle cones and a half dozen flavors or so. No soft serve. They welcome you to sample. The staff was super helpful and friendly. My Butter Pecan cone fabulous and daughters Crunchy Lemon yum...it's worth the drive. While browsing other goods such as Cullipher's spectacular looking, sun flowers and vegetables I was approached by Kim Cullipher to ask if I needed assistance. She's a sweetheart and a delight to talk to. The passion of supplying local produce to the area is obvious. Her family has owned the farm for decades and it remains a working farm. Family members Mike and Louis are still very involved in the day to day operation. The market packs a punch with other items you may not expect such as fresh pies, a large variety of muffin tops and even salad dressings. Worth the drive and bring the kids to explore the nearby garden for photos. Special places like Cullipher should not be taken for granted as we see less and less local markets these days. read more

Delightfully expensive is a good summation of fall events here at Cullipher Farm. I'll start on a positive note - this is a great place to entertain littles for an extended period of time. Be sure to pack the hat and sunscreen because I guarantee they will want to do all the things - apple picking, playing, running through the pumpkin and sunflower patches, eating ice cream and visiting the cows. There's definitely plenty to see and do. The farm is HUGE, so wear comfortable shoes if you intend to keep up with those littles. We came by a few weeks ago, late September, on a Sunday after church. Our initial intent was to pick some apples and wander the pumpkin patch. Early in the season, apples are $2.99/lb to pick yourself, which is a bit absurd considering I'm doing the work - but if you are there for the experience (and this is a great educational opportunity), it's not a bad deal. If you wait until later in the season (late Oct.), you can get pre-picked for WAY less. Also, when we got our bag for picking at the stand by the orchards, the 2 young ladies working had ZERO clue how the apples we were picking should taste. Call me crazy, but most people are not going to know what a Ludacrisp apple is supposed to taste like. So bring the googler or research beforehand so you can make an informed decision about what you want to pick. The pumpkins were $.79/lb for those you also go pick and cut from the vines yourself. My advice (and this is notable if you want to save some $$): VISIT the pumpkin patch. BUY the pumpkins from Aldi's (or Walmart or wherever). You can spend a small fortune here if you pick even just a small number of field pumpkins. The market is open-air and stocked to the gills with delicious jarred condiments, pickles, fresh breads and bakery items. They also have ice cream and cold dairy items so I'd recommend a cooler to be packed if you plan to shop. The open play field for kids is precarious for toddlers and those younger. They have a ton of these bike tractor things and kids can go anywhere they like. My 2-year-old, like any child at that age, became sensory overwhelmed and not hear the older kids peddling up behind her. Even the older kids weren't paying much attention to where they were going or had no idea how to control these bikes. It was a little hectic. If you have a kid playing here, please watch them, regardless of their age. They also had these water pumps, which looked like they needed some bleach or other disinfectant run through - the water was green and disgusting. Half of the pumps were also broken. She did enjoy the pipe slides and mini corn maze. So - pack your wallet along with the sun protection and comfy shoes. It's fun, but it's fun you will pay for. read more

-- UPick -- I enjoy visiting this family-owned farm particularly for the UPick options throughout the year (strawberries, blueberries, peaches, apples, grapes and pumpkins). The strawberries were $18/basket during our 2021 visit. Their fresh, seasonal produce is delicious! -- TLC -- The staff are helpful and friendly. They greeted us, and when we left, they thanked us for visiting and encouraged us to return again. -- The Market -- Their small market offers fresh produce and other speciality items (pies, pickles, dressings, cider). Produce/product is organized and in excellent condition (no issues with damage or freshness). The store and fields are clean and well maintained. -- Out of Season Produce -- They have produce brought in from other states when that produce isn't in season in Virginia yet. Several of the tables/stands have signs identifying where such produce is from. -- New Location -- 772 Princess Anne Rd, Virginia Beach, VA 23457. read more

I decided to take my kids out to the farm today, we were excited about the blueberries, strawberries and the sunflowers. The blueberries were closed, the strawberries were very slim pickings but we were able to purchase some at their market, also since today was the last day for the strawberries they were free, sunflowers were also free. We purchased a few other things they had in the market that were delicious. read more

Cullipher Farm Market is definitely one of my "happy places" in Virginia Beach! I've enjoyed every visit here, even with a fractured arm in Fall, 2021. The local produce is delicious, and the employees are very friendly, helpful. Yesterday (10/21/2023) we bought lots of produce, my favorite (pumpkin butter jam), and a big pumpkin. Fall is my favorite season here! Glad to know that the market will stay open on a limited basis until December! :-) read more
