    Yummy everything! Hot fries and Hot hotdog, tasty fresh cider-donuts, apple slices with caramel to dip!
    Rich S.

    Great Upick and picked apples (Sep 2025), free hay ride, kids' area, petting zoo, food vendor, and store We've been to Gaver Farm in December for their christmas trees, and it was fun to bring visiting-friends out for some apple-picking in the fall! I'd call this New Market, about a third of the way from Mt. Airy to Frederick. Just north of I-75 at exit 62, turn right onto Old Frederick and left after a few houses onto Detrick Rd, and you're right there. Plenty of free parking. You come in through their apple and hard-goods store, with lots of fun seasonal items . If you want to enter the large play-area, there's a charge for kids older than two, and you can buy food for the petting zoo and some extra activities like digging for gems! (Tickets online or to the right of the store.) We checked out the current apple varieties in the store, then headed straight to the free hay-ride, or really tractor-and-cart, and got our bag at the orchard for picking apples. Of course, people pick the close-in and lower-branch apples first, but there were plenty more and we filled our bag to bursting. Wear sun-screen and a hat, there's not a lot of shade in the orchard! When we got back, we stopped outside the store for some snacks at the food stand. The apple-cider-donuts were fresh and soft and sweet :-) Kettle-corn was hot and fresh and crisp, always a favorite. We loved some apple slices with caramel to dip it in! The cider at the stand reminded is to grab a gallon in the store to take home. Yum! The other food at the stand was like fair-food: burgers, dogs, fries, tenders. Fun, but not the main attraction. Next to that is a large open covered-building with picnic tables for around 75 people, which was a nice place to relax. We had lovely early-fall day picking apples, tasting fresh cider and cider-donuts. We'll bring the young kids to the play area when they are in town. Pumpkins will be here soon, and christmas trees are ready in late November and December! See you there!

    Christmas Tree Farm: We drove the hour outside of DC so my friend could cut down a Christmas tree. They have a great selection and even carried a whimsical, rare tree type that we ended up choosing. They don't serve any hot drinks if you go on a weekday, sadly. They provide a saw and a cart, and help "package" it. In their indoor market, they also sell fresh apples, baked goods, fresh wreaths, and more.

    One of if not the best farms in the area. Their fall festival around Halloween is one of fhe highlights of the fall season. A place you can spend the entire day because of all the activities they have for the kids and family. They staff helpful in the farm store. Their cider donuts are the best in Maryland. In addition to a great fall festival and farm park, they also offer beautiful Christmas trees and a festive holiday market. Our family has enjoyed everything Gaver has to offer and look forward to going back each year.

    We set our on stopping here last Friday when my son was off of school and my friend was visiting. Unbeknownst to us, all of Maryland had the day off of school. There were so many cars and kids. We decided to just go to the Donut Hut for some cider, cider donuts, and coffee. The cider and donuts were AMAZING! The coffee was horrible. Don't buy the coffee. Our second and last stop was at the Farm Market in the barn. There are so many good things to buy like bread and butter pickles, all kinds of jellies, potpourri, pumpkins of various sizes and colors, sauces, candles, snacks, and so on. The prices are a little on the pricier side like everything else these days. Everyone that works there seems pretty helpful and friendly.

    Had a bag of apples from this farm bought this past weekend. Unfortunately you cannot pick any apples at this farm but you can buy a bag of already picked apples. All the apples that I ate were mealy but had a great sweet taste. The apples lost their crispness and crunch. The apple cider donuts were excellent here. And pumpkins looked fresh. I would skip the bag of apples and focus on the other items offered.

    We always go for Fall Fest. It's always an incredible experience- worth the drive and the price. They have a ton of things to do there- fruit picking, farm stand, bouncy ground, ropes course, tons of slides, tractors, all sorts of giant farm equipment adapted so kids can play on it, animals you can feed, games, things to ride on, shows, a corn maze, giant bubbles, sand boxes, corn silos, toy tractors, rubber duck water races, tractor rides, food, picnic tables, port a pots, hand sanitizer, and so much more! It'd be easy to spend a whole day there. It gets wildly crowded especially in October and sometimes the bees get bad too.

    I've been coming here almost every year to chop down a Christmas tree since elementary school, and I've heard their land is at risk of being taken over by a data center. I love Gaver Farm, and I think it's a vital part of the community. No matter what season, they have something to offer. This is where families make memories! If you need pumpkins in fall, trees for Christmas, or you need something fun to do over the summer, definitely support this family owned business.

    I had a fantastic time at a fantastic farm. Plenty of parking, trees, pumpkins, cider, food, games, rides, animals, etc. I went w my niece's and nephew's to this great place and was wow'd!! Pumkin Patches have come a significantly long way since my boys were small 15+ years ago. It was soooo organized pulling up to the property w helpful individuals showing everyone where to park. Plenty of entry lines for online and in person admission sales. This place was the lions, tigers, and bears of Pumkin Patches/ Farms. There were many rows of beautiful holiday trees that lined that backdrop. I'm talking screensaver quality !! If you haven't been to this place, make it a priority!! You will not be disappointed.

    WONDERFUL WONDERFUL place to take your family to have fun and enjoy the weather while picking fresh apples and pumpkins for the season!!

    Big slide!

    A great fall festival plus apple picking and a pumpkin patch. It's a short hay ride out to the picking area, and the apples (Fuji and cameo) were delicious. Just watch out for the wasps, but that's a hazard at any orchard. The festival had a ton of activities for the kids- lots of slides, corn pits, carnival style games, and a small zoo area with lots of very friendly goats who can't wait to be fed. Food was ok- your typical fall fest fair with hot dogs, Mac n cheese, and cider. It's a great fall festival overall!

    Sahar R.

    One of the best fall festivals out there for families! I paid $13.50 on a weekday for my admission (one year old was free) and I can't believe what I got for it! While certain activities and hay rides were closed, there was a ton to do! We stayed 3 hours and I don't think I saw everything. They advertise that there are over 60 attractions, appropriate for any age including 2 jumping pillows, Chicken Show, farm animals, mini mazes, playgrounds, duck races, ball games, photo centers. That is definitely correct! There are multiple playgrounds, so many slides from tractors or down hills, and petting zoos. There's one giant bounce area that is divided into small kids and bigger kids. Also these giant corn silos with toy trucks that kids love playing and jumping in. There are goats, alpacas, ducks and peacocks to feed. They also have pigs, mini horse and donkeys that you don't really feed. The gift store has lots of fun Halloween decorations and treats. The only downside is that there are no bathrooms, only porta potties. The outdoor sinks by the petting zoo didn't have water, so definitely bring some for post petting zoo cleaning. Definitely a great place to spend a fall day. Well worth the drive!!

    First time cutting our own tree. They provide you carts and saws but you are able to also bring your own saw. They have cut trees as well. They had so many beautiful trees to choose from it was hard to decide. The prices are also reasonable. The employees with shake your tree out and bail it for you too. They have a cafe to grab some warm food and drinks and also have a country store with lots of things to choose from. Will definitely be back again.

    WOW, this is an ideal Fall excursion for everyone in the DMV area. I don't know why it took us so long to come here, but it's just a short hour drive from Arlington. When we visited on the 3rd weekend of October, the trees began to turn for great foliage viewing. The sky was blue and clear, and there were still some apples to pick! We got a peck of about ~25 fuji apples, which were delicious and we made into a more delicious apple pie the following day. When you arrive, take a short hayride to the orchards and pay for your bags at the entrance (don't wait in the admissions line by the parking lot). Next year, I want to check out the Fall festival! This requires a separate ticket, and there were farm animals, big slides, outdoor games, etc! There is also several dining options like hot dogs, burgers that you can easily spend the whole day here. We went for the warm apple cider donuts, which is HIGHLY recommended! The donuts were a between of cake and yeast donuts, warm and delicate and just melt in my mouth! Finally, make sure to stop by the store for jams, nuts, decorations, etc.

I still decided to go and buy some from the farm stand and to see if they at least still had some of my favorite products. They did I was happy to grab some up. They have Taharka Bros ice cream and some flavors I had never tried before so I grabbed a couple, don't judge. Not stating if they made it home or not but why would anyone let perfectly good ice cream go to waste on a hot ride home. Come on now, make it make sense lol. If I'm back in the area during harvest time, I'll definitely go back to grab up some fresh produce.

I've also never picked either fruit before, so I was very excited. The farm is huge, with many different sites. We stopped by the farm market first to look at various produce. There were so many fresh fruits and vegetables (if you are lazy and don't want to pick any, you can buy it here). We were very enticed by the strawberry milk (which sadly, I didn't end up buying). I did buy a bag of dry ingredients to make corn chowder for 14.99, which I enjoyed four meals of! First, we went to pick blackberries. I got one of the cartons for 9.99 (there's also a smaller one for 6.99) because I got greedy and wanted lots of blackberries. Unfortunately, it took me at least an hour to fill up my carton with the blackberries that looked ripe since most of the ones we saw looked more like raspberries (bright red, incredibly tart, and most definitely not ready to be picked). Very occasionally, I'd find a really fat and juicy blackberry, which immediately got plucked off the tree and straight into my carton. I tried some of them after picking and a lot of them were pretty sour even though they were ripe. I was quite sad that I labored in vain. Overall, it was a very hot day and with the scarce amount of ripe blackberries, I should have just bought them at the farm market. Finally, one of my friends and I went to pick peaches while the rest of them went to stare at sunflowers. We were done in less than 15 minutes since we picked ~30 for the 19.99 box (the cheapest option). The peaches were great, 2-3 days after picking. I've been enjoying them with other friends so far. If there's anything I'd recommend picking from Larriland, it's the peaches. Fun time at the farm, the prices are a bit steep for picking, and I'm still kind of sad about the lack of sweet blackberries.
