I have been coming to Cullipher Farms for over 10 years, I bring all my friends and family here because I love to show off the more rural areas of VB, and Cullipher Farms has always been the perfect place to do that. This weekend, I had family come to stay with me and the highlight of the weekend I had planned for them was visiting Cullipher Farms. We had planned to pick peaches. I brought my toddler and my family's chiweenie. We get to the U-Pick area and are told we can't bring strollers or wagons, I was a bit uncomfortable, considering Cullipher has always been so family focused. I had been talking this place up for weeks, so of course I shrugged it off. Then, we were told no dogs could go near the peach trees. We took turns picking our peaches, then made the trek back to the Cullipher Farmers Market. Our chiweenie was so hot, being out on the heat so I went straight inside the market to get him a cool drink. I was told no dogs could be in the market. The heat index is around 100 and I explained that. I just needed to cool him off, I wanted to grab something for him to drink and let him feel the AC for a minute. The ladies upfront then told me to feel free to sit outside and use the faucet on the side of the market. I found a spot and gave my dog water from my hand. A gentleman then walks up to me and pretty abrasively and tells me my dog can't be on the farm at all. I told him I understood, so I was waiting outside the market cooling him off with some water. He told me that was not okay, and my dog had to be off the property and told me to leave. I explained we were on a family vacation and I had no where else to go, and he told me to go put the dog in the car. He got increasingly hostile and angry, I seriously was so embarrassed that I had been telling my family about this place for weeks and made this the highlight of the trip. I'm so sad that I'll never be back to one of my favorite places in Virginia Beach. This place used to really value family and have a deep care for customer experience. People come to this farm for memories, and truly for the whole immersive experience. This place just has rude employees and overpriced fruit. At least it's safe from wagons and chiweenies. read more

We love Cullipher Farms in the fall! We have not experienced it for berry picking but have gone a few times for good ol' pumpkins! Every time we have gone in the fall, they have been very busy with families and people participating in the various activities they have to offer! Speaking of activities, they honestly have something for every member of the family. Featuring three different mazes-cotton, sunflowers and corn, each is at a different difficulty level and enjoyable for all! They also have hay rides and tons of you-pick pumpkins! There are play areas for kids as well as the option to buy Apple cider and other items. The you-pick pumpkin areas are our favorites! They have all sorts of pumpkins from ones perfect for carving to odd shapes, sizes and colors as well as tiny ones perfect for decorating. It's really fun being able to pick our own and load up the wagon with all those we found and pulled off the vine! We have found prices to be very reasonable and the entire place to be well run! For as busy as they are during these times, all the staff help it run smoothly and efficiently. They do a great job and are the best place to visit for some fall fun! read more

What a delightful place! It's nicely in the country in Virginia Beach. I stopped in and it is a true Farm Market run by a Farm. They have homemade pastries, pies, ciders, ice cream, and all kinds of vegetables and fruits picked and harvested from their own fields. I instantaneously fell in love while visiting the area on vacation. It is very popular with locals. I mean, the cars were literally pouring in in groves during open hours, at least for the period of time I was there. I grab a little bit of everything. I support local farms and love them with a deep passion, and we have to do so. They need our support. Go, and take the kids and grandkids. They will love it and it will foster great memories! This place is one of the best things about our country. Support your local farms! read more

Stopped in today and got a great haul of peaches, nectarines, corn, Concord grapes, figs, and a special Nightingale ice cream sandwich for my 30 minute drive home. The gourmet ice cream sandwiches are new here. They have a bunch of amazing flavors in a freezer- don't miss it! I chose Peaches & Cinnamon. It was perfect on this hot day. And I can't wait to dig into all the fresh produce! read more

Visited on the first day of strawberry picking 2018. I remember coming here 25+ years ago! Cullipher Farms has come a long way and expanded tremendously. If you have little ones, there are more than enough activities to keep them occupied. We filled two gallon buckets of strawberries at $15/bucket. They charge by the bucket that they provide and allow you to take home. If you bring your own bucket, they weight it first. We also did the tractor ride for about $3. That was the best & most informative tractor ride I've ever been on! Mr. Lewis Cullipher was the facilitator who was a wealth of information! Truly appreciated. I definitely want to come back when it's blueberry, apple, & snap bean picking time! I highly recommend visiting Cullipher Farms! They definitely know the business. read more

It's a cute little strawberry patch. It's probably not that little, but I believe it's early in the season. The man who greeted us was nice and let us know how far we could go out to pick strawberries as there was a rope to show where to stop. We got a Groupon to go to this Farm to pick strawberries. We also got a complimentary jar of preserves. We picked blackberry. They had strawberry and strawberry jalapeño. I believe there were others, but I just wanted the blackberry preserves. We got 2 red buckets, which we filled and will definitely be freezing some for later because we can't eat all of them. Will definitely come back to check out their farmer's market because we got a little list and ended up there first. Loved it! We also want to try their CSA next year and are looking forward to the apple picking. read more

If you want local produce. This isn't the place. Just drive by every morning and see their delivery. All you people who think it's local, it's not. Probably most of it isn't even from Virginia. When you see a produce truck delivering, you know it's not local. When you only see perfect ripe tomatoes, it's not local. read more

Went to check it out yesterday even though it was 80 degrees in Oct! Great place. The pumpkin patch is really big and you may feel fearful nothing is left because, well, it's busy and crowded and people are carting off wagons filled with pumpkins. Don't fear. The pumpkins are amazing! Yet pricey at .79 cents/lb. We bought the $15 tickets online saving $6 between 2 adults, for full access to all 3 mazes, a tractor pulled wagon ride, and the really cool looking children's play area that had peddled go carts, farm inspired jungle gyms, and a tall haystack that kids seemed to love. The mazes were really fun. Don't be fooled by the cotton maze that claims it's good for beginners and easy. No one got through it easily, it was great. The corn maze is super. Take a map. We also loved that they had a food truck. Red River BBQ. Delicious but they ran out of buns and took forever to get the food out because they just couldn't keep up with the demand. What a great adventure. Not cheap. So budget wisely. Our 2 pumpkins were $30. Tickets $30 discounted online for 2 adults. Lunch was $25. Be sure to go 4 miles down the road to the market at get some premium Homestead Creamery ice cream or homemade pies. Word to the wise: the lines are confusing. One area for weighing. The other for paying. Couples divide and conquer when the lines are long. read more

We stopped by on a beautiful Saturday afternoon just to see what they had. Glad we stopped by. To be honest, the bakery goods let out an aroma that just put me into a spell...OMG they had homemade pies, they had homemade muffin tops for sale that was just baked that morning (so they said). $6 wasn't bad for a pack of 3. They're delicious! We also bought 3 bottles of their peach apple juices. These were delicious as well. They had a moderate assortment of veggies and fruits such as tomatoes, corn, asparagus, potatoes, and apples of all types. They also had ice cream available for purchase. Nice place. Friendly people. I'll come back when it gets to be strawberry season! read more

I've been going here for years and their produce is fine, and strawberries are usually consistently good. I visited recently, and was looking around, when a worker, who seemed to be more senior and working there for a while, asked me if I was looking for anything in particular. I told this person I was looking for an item. This person responded with excitement/entitled attitude, that the item was not only out of season, but has been since the spring. This worker even went further to tell me that if I did find it in a store, it would actually NOT be the item I was looking for. The way I was spoken to made me feel like I was a five year old. Sorry, but that is no way to do business. You can have your mediocre/ semi rotted produce, and out sourced corn. I rarely see anything that's actually local other than strawberries. you are better off going to the grocery store, where they actually have what you are looking for, even if it came from South America. read more

Oh goodness, if I knew picking strawberries was this fun I would've started years ago. Came here with my mother and daughter and we all had such a wonderful time. This is a huge patch with ample strawberries and was not overcrowded by any stretch. The strawberries are absolutely amazing and I don't think I can ever go back to store-bought! read more

Great customer service, beautiful spot with kids activities, hayride, sunflower maze etc, and delicious apple cinnamon and pumpkin donuts from the trailer. Pick your own pumpkins was the reason our family went and it did not disappoint. Warm day, but fun! You won't regret going to Cullipher Farm! read more

Hidden gem out in Pungo!! I'm always satisfied when my boyfriend an I are able to make a trip out there to get fresh baked pies, delicious ice cream along with the fresh produce. The pumpkin patch is great! We did the corn maze this year and we had a lot of fun it's always nice spending quality time together away from the hustle and bustle of the city. read more

What a gem. They offer fresh vegetables and fruit. Delicious baked goods like muffin tops, breads, etc. Friendly customer service. Highly recommend. read more

I love your canary Melon and your corn and watermelon and tomatoes, muffins tops , blackberry, cantaloupe,plus your cider drinks,pies

I went the other day to do the corn maze and to pick a pumpkin. Online, it says you have to buy wristbands, but that for every wristband you buy, you get a discount on a pumpkin. The rude saleswoman refused to acknowledge a discount. The place is expensive for the very little it offers, and the corn maze has not been well-maintained. I would not recommend. read more

We are never disappointed when visiting the farm! This place is an absolute gem. Family owned and run. Farming the way God intended!!! Organic. GMO free!!! Visit the pumpkin patch Pick your own strawberries Coming soon pick your own apples Pick your own peaches This year they did an apple egg hunt. It was great...talk about a real egg hunt! Looking under grasses is not what we expected but we were pleasantly surprised. The only thing disappointing with it was the God awful parents who were racing and zig zagging to get all the apples. My kids only went home with one apple each which we were lucky to find. My older daughter found a Golden egg and received a peach muffin too (my absolute favorite treat) and a gift card to the farm market up the road. Please take time to ride the wagon! And I hope you are lucky enough to get the owner! He is so amazing. I always learn new things and never hear the same info twice. Very informative and interesting not to mention a beautiful ride. The kids play area is so so fun!!! My kids love playing here. This is a must for our family several times a year!!! It should be too. Oh and I can't forget...the Apple Cider is so amazing. They all are actually. The muffin tops are so so yummy. read more

I love farm markets! I stopped here on our way to their berry fields to pick strawberries. This is their organic fields location.

Will be returning! read more

Very spot on farm stand in the heart of Pungo. Added bonus is that it isn't too far from home so in no time at all I can drive down to the stand, see what is on offer, and figure out what is for dinner. They are good at advertising which produce is theirs and which is brought in from other states, depending on what part of the season we are in. If their tomatoes or corn aren't ready yet, they will supplement their stock from outside sources. If you aren't sure, just ask any of the helpful staff. They will be more than glad to fill you in. The prices can be slightly higher than some of your local supermarkets but I would much rather pay a little extra to support a local farm than some mega-food conglomerate. Besides, when you are buying produce picked (probably that day) at the height of its growing season, you are getting it at the peak of flavor. That is worth a couple of extra pennies in my opinion. read more

So it seems like all local-farm supporters are chomping at the bit to get this summer show on the road. But damn, if this endless winter ( apparently sent to us by some Game of Thrones god) did not screw everything up big time. Now I love Cullipher Farms, and they will surely have more going on later in the season...but we went to the organic pick-your-own strawberry patches today and while the staff was super friendly and very helpful, and the prices very reasonable, the organic strawberries probably could use another week or so! First of all, only one of the two organic fields was officially opened for picking, and it did seem somewhat picked over. We picked for around 30 minutes and only found enough good ones to fill a medium basket. They are also pretty tart, which is fine if that is your preference, but I will probably wait a week or so to see if they sweeten up before I would go back. The bad news is that the ladies told me because of the long cold season this year, the strawberry picking will be abbreviated and will probably wrap up the last week of May. So Hurry! I am still giving them four stars because I love their CSA baskets, the staff is super friendly and they are very helpful (will even direct you to other farm stands if they don't have what you are looking for) and later in the summer, they offer a pretty cool experience with the delicious ice cream and the sand pile full of random trucks etc. Note (I dont think I was aware of this, or I had forgotten) that they have non-organic PYO strawberries further down the road, and the lady told me today those fields had at least twice as many strawberries as the organic fields, so if you are not hell-bent on organic you may want to consider those. I will certainly be back, not sure if we will make it for more strawberries or not, and will update this review! read more

i realize it's been a while since i went here in april, but i must review this wonderful place. an organic field of berries! we got a 7lb basket and a whole field to pick strawberries from. it wasn't full, and we did go on a weekday, but it was so much fun. my kids were more interested in finding a berry and pulling it off the plant, rather than checking to see if it was ripe or undamaged even. the worker at the stand was so friendly and shared her love for pungo products. i asked her about local eggs and other local fruits/veggies in the area. i still haven't tried to purchase local eggs, but i did go to the feed stores to look around. they give you a basket that you can fill. you get to keep the basket and bring it back each time you go. they have two sizes of basket. approx. 7lbs and approx 2lbs. you may bring your own container, just weigh it first so they know how to charge you once you're done. if you don't feel like picking berries, they have pre packed baskets. they also offer a variety of other fruits/veggies. they had some vintage veggie & milk crates for sale. a play area for the kids, and large parking area....though it's probably not large enough for weekend crowds. read more

Not very forthcoming about the fact that ALL of their apples were picked on the very first day. So we drove 45 mins to find out that we were just going to a farmers market, which would be ok if they don't seem to import much of their produce. And had NO apples to pick. Very disappointing, will not return and will find a better managed business. read more

I'm only reviewing the ice cream and it is a total rip-off. $2.75 for a cup and I got a little more than 2 tablespoons of chocolate. My son got a $3.50 waffle cone and the same weak armed girl gave him the same two tablespoons of chocolate. She complained to us that the ice cream was "hard to scoop". Here's a clue, get someone with a little strength to serve ice cream. We won't return here and you should drive past this rip off and head to Gilley's For real homemade ice cream where you get value for your dollar. read more

Fantastic produce and baked goods. The homemade ice cream is amazing. The farm stand has a sand-pit play area for the little ones with plenty of toys. Well worth the visit on a weekend afternoon. read more

I would love to give this Farm five stars because we've been here before. Last years events and patch were fantastic. Even late in the month they had pumpkins up the wazoo. This year it was hard to tell if they just didn't have a large crop or if they'd been picked almost clean. Also, my family and I never made it to the pumpkin patch so our daughter could pick her own pumpkin. We arrived here yesterday and before we parked we noticed a little sign that said they were closed. It was HOWEVER off to the side of the actual driveway. So we figured they were closing soon since it was close to 5 already. Their hours say they close at six. So we parked, unloaded a toddler, put a baby carrier on and loaded the bay into that, locked the car up and headed for the little wagons. Only when we had our wagon and were headed for the pumpkins did a girl come up to us and inform us they've been closed since 4! She'd been watching us THE ENTIRE TIME we did all of this and never came over or sent someone else over to say "Hey, we're closed." So she told us we can pick a pumpkin off the haystacks. Apparently the play area was closed as well. So our four year old lost it because we basically had to turn around and leave after we just got out of the car. Maybe I missed it somewhere but at no point did I see those special hours with restrictions on what you can access on the farm. Not at the farm itself nor on the internet. So we won't be coming back to Cullipher Farm next year. Not worth the forty minute drive to just be turned around like it's no big deal. read more

Staff are well equipped to help customers, Staff members are friendly , know the area and there produce, Stand set up is attractive and "picture" ready for customers to capture the memory of the day. The stand and pumpkin patch were both very busy but relaxed at the same time. Cannot wait to visit again, my teenage daughter loved picking her own pumpkins! Thank you Kim for the delicious pumpkin ice cream! read more

Keep driving... don't buy your ice cream here! Go to Gilley's instead!!! We bought one waffle cone (should be 3 scoops) and two cups (should be 2 scoops each) .. two different servers waited on us.. one older woman waited on me and filled my cup with 2 decent sized scoops which was acceptable... the other younger woman shouldn't be working in the ice cream dept! She complained that the ice cream was too hard for her to scoop. she gave my husband half the amount of ice cream in his cup as in mine! it looked pitiful.. maybe equal to one scoop .. and she barely filled the waffle cone... maybe one scoop in total in the cone.. it didn't even fill the cone.. I wanted to complain and ask her to please add more ice cream but my husband didn't want me to embarrass her.. go somewhere else! read more

Great for kids to pick then play in the sandpit.

Was planning to pick strawberries with my family for the first time. This location was recommended by a few people to me as they have organic strawberries. My family and I were very excited for our fun day. I called that morning to make sure they were open as they are about a 30 minute drive for us. I was told they were open and that to be prepared to spend more time picking due to them being open already for 4 weeks and crop is low. This was not an issue for us as it was just going to be fun to get out and look for strawberries together. It took us close to an hour to arrive due to traffic for the Strawberry Festival. We were excited to finally arrive. My husband, 2 kids and myself walked up to the counter. I was smiling and asked for help with what to do as my family and I are there to pick strawberries for the first time. The older lady behind the counter sighed and said the picking was closed. I proceeded to tell her I had called that morning and was told they were open for picking but crop was low. She sighed again and said you can but will be hard to find any. Huh? In thinking are you closed or not. I turned to my husband and said lets go. I was so upset that our day was ruined by a rude person who just couldn't be bothered by us. I wouldn't recommend this farm. I hope my family and I can pick strawberries some day but I won't waste my time going to this place. Very disappointing day for myself and my family. If they didn't want anyone to come pick they should have told me that on the phone when I called. read more
