So in love with this place! OMG it's been forever and a day... I have been meaning to write this…read morereview since October 2017. Welp - Happy December! I cannot go another day without reviewing this place - magnificent!! I'd always see Facebook postings about their Harvest Event and wondered...is this for real? They offer a long list of features for a small fee in comparison to other places going on in the area... they claim to offer the same thing. But Taylor's prices were unbelievable. Well this year, my suspense was at ease... what they said they offered THEY DID AND MORE! For three children (pre-teens) and one adult, the cost was under $30 and it was well worth every dollar. I am already looking forward to returning next year during the Harvest season. I met a visitor at the farm and she began to rave about how the farm spruces up the event year after year... it was her third year attending. But this was my first time and I was blown away in a great way! We all were able to pick out any pumpkin from the pumpkin patch and the farm supplied items for pumpkin decorating. Pumpkins ranged in sizes but the cost was included in admission - ahmazing!! I met a few workers at the farm and their enthusiasm was evident. I could really tell they enjoyed their job. One lady - it was her first year working at the farm and she had all great things to say. I also met a volunteer at the front and because of her love for the farm life itself...she's now working there. I just felt super warm and over the moon! I think I had more fun than the girls. OMG - pony rides too! Bounce houses! Concessions! Parking was a breeze too! And the hayride, super duper awesome! This review is all over the place, but that's how overwhelming this event was - it was so much to see and enjoy all in a day. We actually picked a great day to visit too - it was not crowded at all and the weather was beautiful! We visited on the last Saturday before the closing date. And I was told Saturdays prior the farm is usually crowded. I am not sure why anyone had less than a five star experience here. But from start to finish our time here was one to remember forever! We will definitely return. Have fun and enjoy life ;)

This was our first time coming here. It costs $7 a person (1 year and under are free) for the…read moreHalloween pumpkin patch. Each ticket gave you a free small pumpkin, hayride, face painting, and bounce house admission. Our son had a blast! Everyone was super nice. We got to see the animals in the animal park that included horses, goats, chickens, donkeys, and during the hayride we saw bulls. They even had a section where you could paint and decorate your pumpkin. Great experience!

My favorite farm. Support a local farm and a small business at the same time…read more Most amazing farmer. He gets excited about what he plants and grows. Best strawberries I have ever tasted. You can pick or you can just pick up produce that they picked. They have everything but I must say that he has a lot of varieties of corn too. They are so amazingly delicious that I have stood right there with the farmer and eaten it raw right off the cob. It is that good They are family owned and just amazing good food.

I really wanted to go strawberry picking in VB, but I didn't want to drive all the way to Pungo. So…read morehappy I found this farm! As of 5/3/25, the strawberries are $4.19/lb. You can buy a bucket if you want for $1. They have Ruby Junes and Chandlers strawberries. The strawberries were delicious overall, but some were sweeter than others, even though I picked ones that looked the same (a deep red). That might have just been my fault though for not tasting from each row to find the best spots. Also wanted to note that this field is strictly for strawberry picking. Unlike other farms, there aren't any other activities like petting zoos or play areas. But if you're just looking for a spot to pick fresh strawberries, then this is a solid choice. Recommend checking their Facebook page for their hours!

We had a great time picking strawberries here today! I brought my kids for U-pick, and the…read morestrawberries were big, sweet, and delicious. The kids really enjoyed finding and picking the strawberries by themselves. We will definitely come back again!

The family, the farm, this whole place is a treasure and I can't wait to return!…read more I am always on the hunt for new and exciting things to do with my daughter and this place was brought to my attention by a coworker. They offer several special events throughout the year, adventure camps for kids of all ages, field trip opportunities and private parties. We attended a GLOWvember evening several weeks ago which was so much fun for our preschooler. We had never been to the farm, but Google maps and signs off the road led us to the right spot. There is ample parking on this private property and it was a short walk to the rear of the home where all activities take place. We were greeted right away by Shannon, and introduced to many of the animals on the property including a rotund pig, many goats and chickens. Shannon was a saint in guiding the children and offered them opportunities to interact with and care for the animals. Our daughter was smitten and followed Shannon like a shadow. She had activities ready for the kids to interact with the environment including a ladybug hunt and nature scavenger hunt. There is play equipment that was almost as inviting for me as it was for the kids. The night also included a bonfire with s'mores, outdoor independent play stations, family-friendly music & plenty of glowsticks. What I appreciate the most is that Shannon, a former sped teacher & special needs mom, has created a place where both neurotypical and neurodiverse children can work and play together in an engaging environment. What a blessing she is to this community!

This place has is all: small numbers for attendance, LOTS of sensory, LOTS of fun, and a very decent price! It's tucked away on the Virginia / NC border. They have chickens, a pig, goats, and a cute cat! They have ziplines, climbing apparatuses, bubbles, water tables, truck pit, and more! We were there for 3 hours and my boys were in tears when we had to go home! Three hours went by so fast. This is the owner's home, but parking is definitely available. They also have a bathroom to use - it's the cleanest portable potty I've seen to date. Shannon - the owner, is so kind and congenial! She helped me with my son's when I had to take one to the bathroom. She treated my boys as if they were her very own. I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed! This is definitely the place for special needs kids. This was the first time, since we lived in Japan, that I was able to let my kids run and have fun, and I didn't have to worry.

I had never heard of Warren Farms, so when a YEE came up AND my physical therapist mentioned it, I…read moreknew I had to check it out. Disclaimer - I've also never been to Chubby's so I passed the entrance twice before I found it. The farm is HUGE and easy to see from Battlefield, but the entrance is actually on Peaceful Rd, very close to Battlefield. There is ample parking (non-paved) and a well-marked walkway to the field entrance and farm stand. I didn't think I would be able to attend the YEE and ended up being free the same day (I had already canceled my RSVP so went just as a plain ole customer) and I brought my daughter around 5pm on Sunday for some picking. As I mentioned, the fields are expansive! I had my bucket weighed and asked the attendant if she recommended a good spot. She said her favorites were way out - the Chandler variety I believe - and we set out. She also very kindly let us know that "sampling was encouraged!" My toddler sure loved hearing that! She sent us in the right direction, that's for sure. Within 15 minutes, our bucket was filled to overflowing with ripe, sweet berries! It almost hurt my heart to leave so many berries - nearly overripe - untouched. We simply don't have the space for freezing and I don't have the skills for canning, but would definitely recommend visiting this farm if you have one or the other! Our large bucket was about $14 ($3.29/lb). My daughter was ready to eat as soon as we got home. We got plenty for eating this week and enough to make a strawberry pie for dessert. I'm so glad I was guided to Warren Farms. I look forward to returning at least once more this season and again in years to come!

Located right off of South Battlefield, closest corner Hillwell/Peaceful Rd, Warren Farms is a…read morestrawberry u-pick farm run by a wonderful family, the Warrens. They are known for their "Tink's Berries", lovingly named after the man who started it all, who has since passed on. After the devastating loss of the head of the family, his wife, children and grandchildren revived the farm last year and brought back the berries that everyone in the community so sorely missed! They grow (don't quote me on it) three types of strawberries. You can pick them yourself or they also have strawberries already picked ready for purchase at the shack by the entrance (obviously at a premium). My children and I love to pick the berries ourselves, the fun is as much the hunt as it is eating them! What I LOVE about this farm: 1. the Warrens are such a warm and welcoming family 2. they don't spray anything on the berries (so you can taste test them right on the field ;) and don't worry, it's encouraged, so don't be embarrassed if you show up with your kids stained with strawberry juice when checking out haha 3. the berries have their own unique character and shape. We love looking for what others would call misfits and the smaller ones are tastier too in my opinion. Just be warned, because they are not sprayed with any chemicals, if you don't plan to eat them the day of when it has been picked, put them in the fridge! Some things to note: - the entrance to the farm is actually on Peaceful Rd, marked with the archway sign "Warren Farms" - if you've ever been to Chubbie's Pumpkin Patch, the location might be familiar as they lease the land to them in the Fall - plenty of parking on site, but be warned, it's not paved - depending on the weather, if it has rained or not, I, always by default, wear rain boots (to any farm for that matter), because some patches may be muddy or have puddles of rainwater - they take cash or credit - they also have bottles of water for sale and pots of flower plants are available for purchase too - artwork around the farm was done by a family friend - a food trailer and special events like cookouts are in the works (the container painted with the characters behind the berry shack is equipped with a kitchen) - some local businesses incorporate their berries in their products and offerings Get out there and enjoy the sunshine and pick some strawberries. It'll be a berry good time! hahaha Stay safe, Friends!

Sooooo cute! And right in my backyard! Just off Seaboard road in the field beside Wave Church…read more Last year they planted later due to COViD. But this year they're open in late June. Peak blooms are in the next 4-5 days. Follow them on Instagram for up to date info on blooms and hours. Super friendly staff. $25 gets your group in and you can get 10 sunflowers. They'll give you a bucket but you can bring your own shears (or they have some to borrow) and they'll wrap them for you too in cool napkins for the drive home. Suggest if you have a long drive you bring some water for them. The sunflowers are beautiful and plentiful and there weren't that many bugs. Also - this is a large field of sunflowers so you can really spread out. It felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. We roamed for half an hour before we saw other people. They have a small boutique selling themed items all featuring their bee or sunflowers. Adult shirts are $25. The bee pins are $10. A sunflower coloring book with colored pencils is $13 or $10 for just the book. Etc etc. Love love love!!!!

Is a "pop up farm" a thing? Yelp has a category for "attraction farm"- I guess that fits!…read more Goldpetal is a beautiful maze of sunflowers. Not the "you'll get lost" kind of maze, more like a "you'll want to get lost" kind of maze. They opened on August 27th and reached max bloom on September 2nd. Their Facebook page indicates that you may only have another few days to catch this season's blooms. We went on a Thursday evening around 5:30 and only had a short line to get inside. The line was much longer when we were leaving around 7pm. It's $20 for 10 stems. That includes entry for up to 5 people. You can get an extra 10 stems for $10 and I think military gets an extra 5 just for showing their ID. You can't just go for the pictures, you've gotta pay. Dogs can come too- just make sure they are on a leash and you may want to bring water for them if you're planning a longer trip. They give you tips and the rules before you enter and supply you with a metal vase and cutters. I'd suggest bringing a basket instead of using their bucket though. After that the field is all yours. They have several different types of sunflowers. We got a little carried away and now I don't know what to do with all our flowers, not a bad problem to have.
