We went on a Friday for strawberry picking, to see the animals and to shop the farmers market. Our kids also enjoyed the play area also. There's bounce houses and a playground. The strawberry picking baskets were a flat rate (which we liked versus other places that charge by weight). It was pretty reasonable at $23 for a bucket and the strawberries were delish. There's also a patio restaurant called the Hive for food and drinks. read more

Went here Sunday for the fall pumpkin festival. Entry to the festival is free. You just have to pay $10 for parking. Once inside there's other activities to pay for like the monster truck ride, petting farm, corn maze, and other kids activities. The hayride and pumpkin patch are both free. The hayride goes from the parking/monster truck area, to the market/restaurant area, to the pumpkin patch, and then back to the first spot of the parking/monster truck area. I found the fall festival to be really cute and great for photo ops. I really enjoyed each of the different sections of the farm. Decided to get on the monster truck before leaving (9/10); it was my first time riding in/on one and it was pretty fun. To ride was $10 per person. All of the staff members were friendly and made light conversation. I can def see myself returning especially since they also have a Christmas tree farm and a restaurant on site. My overall rate of experience : 9.5/10 read more

Honestly is there anywhere better than Greenbrier Farms! So thankful to have them back open to the public after their battle with the city! They are fun for the whole family or yourself all year round! I especially love when the flowers are in bloom! They let you cut your own flowers to create a personal bouquet! We visit for every season & then some! Strawberries, pumpkin patches, hayride, Christmas trees, just good fun! read more

I had an amazing time at the Greenbrier Farm with my kiddo! The Easter event was fantastic there were so many activities to enjoy. From non-stop entertainment for the kids to great food, drinks, live music, and local vendors, it was truly a fun-filled day. That said, I did have one major issue. Our Easter egg hunt time slot was scheduled for 11:00 AM, but it didn't start until 11:30. I was beyond frustrated. Time slots exist for a reason, especially when you're dealing with young children. There's absolutely no excuse for a delay that long. Standing in the hot sun with toddlers and a big crowd any parent knows that's not ideal. Once they did open the Easter egg hunt there wasnt enough eggs! I saw some kids with only 4-5 Easter eggs. If the delay was due to late arriving families, that's on them, not the rest of us who showed up on time. Why should we all be penalized for others being late? If I had known, I would've picked a different time slot. That part definitely needs improvement. read more

This place is better than i expected, we had fun and I look forward to coming back. They even have vendors and lots of things for kids to do. Petting zoo bouncy castle and even a concession stand. Their prices for pumpkins are actually better than the great bridge pumpkin patch which is overpriced. Looking forward to coming back for Christmas read more

The shop/stand staff is very friendly and helpful. The produce shop is nice and has a lot of good specials and various packages to get so it's interesting to see what they rotate. They have a solid selection of in-house products, which we enjoy. Ms. Bee's plant bar area is a nice touch. There is setup for live entertainment at times and outdoor seating that has small fire pits for groups near the shop. The animals are sweet and friendly. Overall it's a rather normal setup for goats, cows, ponies, chickens and pigs. Some of which are designed to walk in and interact with the animals. The plant/tree selection they have is alright, but not great in terms of quality. The taco shop is garbage. Don't get anything there. The indoor bathrooms are consistently disgusting and not kept up. No TP, no towels, no soap, toilets not working. Completely unchecked. read more

We enjoyed are brief visit but were a little disappointed with a few things. We went to buy mums and pumpkins. Although they have lots of activities like a corn maze, bouncy houses, animals and a hay ride, we were there just to purchase those two items. But we still had to pay $10 for parking. Which was very disappointing. I think it's a nice place to visit if you have kids, just understand that you also have to pay for activities once you enter. Everyone was extremely friendly, and we got what we went for, but the selection of mums was very disappointing and not what we expected. It seems like a great place to go if you have kids and you want to participate in all the activities but just for making a purchase, they're a better options where you don't have to pay for parking. read more

Came over the weekend and had such a great time! They had a cute fall festival with a little shop and a restaurant. The pumpkin patch was large with plenty of pumpkins to choose from, and the bus ride over to the patch was such a fun touch. They also have Christmas trees, apple picking, and sunflower picking depending on the season, so there's always something to do. The petting zoo was adorable, and there were lots of fun activities for families. Such a great spot for all ages and every season! read more

I used to absolutely love this farm! Until today. what I witnessed in the "barnyard " animal section was extremely disheartening, and upsetting. all the animals are not cared for the way they should be! The living conditions are inhumane, filthy, and below subpar living Conditions! What upset me the most is the bunny section. I myself am a rabbit owner. Rabbits are not for "barnyard attraction" they are real pets with real feelings and deserve to be living in much better conditions. These rabbits are kept in tiny little hutches with wire bottoms. They are incredibly filthy, I noticed the water was dirty and probably hadn't been changed in a very long time. They did not have unlimited hay readily available to them and very little food. No enrichment provided. Let alone trapped in a tiny little cage where they can't even jump or stretch their legs. I witnessed in one little cage, alone, two adult rabbits with a whole litter of new baby buns, living in filthy and inhumane conditions. That's not even the most upsetting part about my visit there today , in the other bunny Section (The round play pen metal cage with the tunnels) There was a dead bunny, which had been there for quite a long time. It was obvious it had been there for a while because it was decomposing! These rabbits are living in filthy and inhumane conditions. Stop over breeding these rabbits only to stick them in tiny cages & using them as barnyard attractions!! The longer haired rabbits (lion heads) Should not be kept out in the heat they can't handle it And will die of heat stroke. Probably what happened to the poor rabbit that was in the tunnel in the pen!!! I am not a Karen by any means, but these animals deserve way better living conditions!! If your farm cannot keep the staff to adequately care for these animals properly then you should consider downsizing your "barnyard" And allowing these animals to live in better conditions!!!!!!! I will not come back to this farm. As I said I used to love this farm. I always buy all of my pumpkin's, mums ,corn stalks and look forward to the maze every year ,now I won't come back after today! I was extremely shocked and appalled by the animal living conditions! Please do better Greenbrier Farms!! read more

I knew that the farm was close to us, but have never been down the road to actually make it to the farm. Very easy to locate if you're using a GPS. They do have a spacious lot, but debating on when you arrive and how people park, I could see it be a bit troubling. Lots of big dips, so cars lower to the ground take caution. Honestly, we showed up and had no idea where to go. There were no signs on where to purchase the buckets, how to pick tulips, and I was feeling a little anxious about it all. We eventually find the little shop and are told $20 for a bucket and if you come back with the bucket, you can get $2 off next time. The kids went to town and easily picked their fill of strawberries. These strawberries were so beautiful. Plump, shiny, vibrant. I don't particularly enjoy strawberries but my kids all said they were good, and my strawberry avoiding husband said he actually really liked them and that they were nice and sweet. One bucket held an insane amount of strawberries. We ended up giving half of the bucket to my brother and even he was shocked when we showed him how much 1/2 was lol. They also had bounce houses up, and they were okay. My kiddo said it was dirty and wet (it did rain, so makes sense), so we didn't stay there long. They liked the free roaming animals and were shocked to see a real life pig. So pretty neat aspect there. Overall, we'll probably be back to at least check out the fall festivities, and maaaaaybe more strawberries if the kids actually make a dent in these. read more

I recently stopped by Greenbrier Farms to have some maintenance done on my lawnmower. They are an authorized Husqvarna dealer and they service what they sell. They offer professional repair services for fair prices. Sometimes it can take a while to get specific parts in for your repair but they do a good inventory of parts on site, so unless it is something that they don't have, they can turn around your repair quickly. read more

We got our tree here this year. It was an 11+foot Leyland Cypress. We wanted fresh locally grown, and did NOT want pine. GF was really our only option that sold something other than pine, so we made the trek to Chesapeake. The layout is like a fair - you walk through cut trees, sales booths, wreaths, cocoa stand, farm store, etc. There was a lot to see and take in. Eventually, we headed to the live trees. We walked around, and the gentlemen helped us pick a tree. We found the one we wanted, and they cut it down for us. It wasn't cheap, but was pretty comparable to similar size trees at the hardware store. My favorite part was the gentleman who helped us showed us pictures of the day the tree was planted. His pride and the way he discussed how they raised the trees convinced me GF is the place to go. I'll be back there the day after thanksgiving 2024 for our next tree. read more

$10 for parking. The workers were very welcoming and helpful. They had a ton of different sizes, shapes, and colors of pumpkins to choose from. The price of the pumpkins were a little on the high side so we decided not to buy any. The Hive had delicious food but my only issue was we were asked to move twice because there wasn't a host to seat us, so we sat ourselves after we paid for drinks at the bar. We had a great day regardless. read more

This was our first time here and we had a great time. I went with zero expectations to join others for a homeschool field trip. For $7.50 we got our own hayride and a pumpkin. I think we were supposed to cut a pumpkin from the field but there was some confusion so they just had our kids pick out a pie pumpkin after the hayride. Everyone still had a great time. If you have kids, it's good to know that they only have porta potties and they don't have any close to the kids area that I saw. While we were there, they were pretty trashed and at least 2 were out of toilet paper. The kids area is not shaded so be sure you have sunblock if needed. We LOVED the bounce house and play area and stayed there for a couple hours to play. I was really thankful for the cafe onsite because I forgot to pack lunch. We walked over and ordered sone food to go so I could take it over to the kids area with everyone else. Their sangria looked amazing! You can order it there and take it over to the kids area too. I think I'll do that next time. Order a sangria and THEN head over to the bounce houses. read more

Greenbrier Farms (GF) is such a beautiful property! I've seen this farm on Instagram and have been meaning to check it out. Our realtor organized a private event in GF's farmhouse, a client appreciation type thing, so I was excited for the opportunity to check out GF! GF is tucked away in a neighborhood, which is a bit of a change from the side of the old dirt country road type location. As you enter the property, there is a huge, grassy lot for parking. You'll find plenty of space. Once you walk over, there is a Welcome booth with a greeter to provide info and direct traffic. Currently, they have a fresh Christmas tree lot right next to the farmhouse. On the other side of the farmhouse, they also have a huge tent where you will find a photo op with Santa inside, fresh wreaths for sale and a Hot Cocoa bar. The Farmhouse is quite charming (would love to live in a house like that!). Decorated with antiques, it's set up like an old house with dining tables, couches etc. Refreshments and treats were set up in the dining area and a photographer with a photo op was on hand to take family photos in the back room with the fireplace. Can't wait to see these! After all the wining and mingling, we too the kids out to see the farm animals. There were pigs, goats, ducks, bunnies and cows. There are signs everywhere asking you not to feed the animals. Our kids got to enjoy the play area in the far back equipped with tire swings and play structures. Can't wait to visit again in different seasons to see what else they offer! Stay safe, Friends! read more

Hmmm. This is a tough one. We visited yesterday during the day to see the sunflowers, pumpkin patch, possibly take a hay ride, and get some coffee and snacks at the harvest fair. It was very very crowded and very few people were wearing masks (I mean not a single person out of 20-30 on each hay ride) - long lines to park, shop, etc. We wore our masks and we walked around and tried to keep our distance as much as we could. The sunflower field was cute but very very tiny. Knee high sunflowers about 50 feet across in about 6-10 rows. It was free so, I can't complain too much. The "harvest fair" was basically a bunch of hay bales for seating, some plain tacos from a truck, hot dogs or popcorn and a lonnnnnng line for hay rides (again 1 out of every 85 people with a mask) and no social distancing at all in any of the lines or masks. The coffee bar closed early and left so I missed that which was a huge bummer. We snapped some photos of the dog with the pumpkins and left. From Pungo for a 40 mins drive, I wouldn't do it again. I will say, for a visit in normal circumstances to the nursery or so this looks like it'd be nice if you came with a purpose. But if you're worried about COVID at all, don't come right now. You'll freak out. Employees weren't wearing masks either and no social distancing or COVID rules were being enforced at all. read more

We visited this farm for some fall fun and photos. This was our first time here but definitely not our last. There was so much to do and see. My favorite part was the beautiful little sunflower field they had. They had a cute market area for treats and drinks that were very reasonably priced. Staff was friendly and directing everyone appropriately through all the different fields and areas. There was a lot of people on our trip but thankfully everyone was wearing masks including staff members. When we were there I saw there Christmas tree lot so I am hoping to go back soon to check it out. read more

Ehhh not really a fan. My friends and I stopped by to pick tulips and get pictures with the Easter bunny. We walked about the farm area, really wasn't much to see. The tulips were not as good looking in pictures at alllllll. They were picked over and some looked to be dead. We need up taking pictures of our babies near the entrance with the beautiful looking tulips. It was very hot outside and there weren't any drinks being sold which was very odd to us, especially on such a hot day!Will I be back? Ehhh idk read more

Such amazing family time!!! Spent three hours here today! The kids didn't want to leave!! You can play and see the animals for FREE! We did buy $1 carrots to feed the rabbits. Such a big hit!

Also the hive opens I can't wait to try some food it smelt amazing today! read more

Honestly we went to breakfast in Chesapeake and thought let's go to a highly rated strawberry farm. We are two grown adults who literally just wanted to pick strawberries. We saw they had a farmers market as well so away we went. Once we got there we weren't sure where to go as there was no signage. We check in at the tractor store, who told us to cut through the greenhouses to get there. Then we realized we check into the hive. We paid $8 for a quart. From there no signs of where to go but we figured out to walk straight past the storage. It was right next to the freeway so kind of loud. It was hard to picture a wedding here later. If we had kids they would have liked the animals but everything else was not worth the drive. The farmers market did sell some interesting jarred products but everything else seemed just there. Curious to try out the other farms for a point of reference. read more

This place is so cute and rustic! I've been coming here every year for Halloween for about 3 years now and it's much more affordable than some of the other haunted attractions. They usually do a haunted hayride, but this year because of COVID-19 restrictions, you got to walk part of the hayride route. My friend and I really enjoyed how well put together the Halloween events were and how well the staff and the guests handled everything - well done Greenbrier Farms, I will be back throughout the year. read more

This place always has a soft spot in my heart. The people are always kind and helpful and with numerous free or included activities for the kids it's worth a visit. Parking cost $10 a car on the weekends and it is usually very busy then. We prefer to go during the week where we can take in the views and enjoy ourselves more. The house is really a sight to be seen. Haven't tried the restaurant yet but the pumpkins are abundant this time of year and there is a corn maze ... for free! Really a great visit this time of year especially. Strawberry picking in the summer makes is visit year round. We hope to try the haunted attractions some day! read more

I've been here twice. Once before the pandemic and again a few weeks ago. I don't really see the appeal of this place. The tree farm is very slim. I had to photoshop a lot of the trees in the one photo I took. There are better tree farms in Virginia Beach. Pictures with Santa is ridiculous long line. Not worth it. There isn't food vendors just a food outside restaurant I guess. You have to wait to be seated outside! There's the dirty petting farm. I just don't think it's worth it. I guess it's good for Chesapeake residents but Virginia Beach has better places like the Hunt Club, Farmers Market and even Anderson's. Those places you can to take pictures with Christmas trees, buy Christmas trees and wreath, drink hot chocolate, eat, take pictures with Santa, petting farm and much more. We were there to enjoy the farm and take some pictures but left after 5 minutes. It was very sad. Unless I missed something but we went on a Saturday afternoon. Everyone I seen came to take pictures and left. I heard other people complaining so that validated my thoughts. Pre pandemic I came here for the pumpkins. There were tons of HUGE pumpkins. Like 2ft tall pumpkins which were too big. I probably won't come back here. Recommend food vendors, better setup, and more activities. read more

I love love love Greenbrier Farms!! Just in this Pumpkin season, me and my family have gone 2 separate times. The lady in the shop was super nice as well, and it felt like a really calming environment to me. The food, jam, honey, and drinks they sell are really good too. The jams and spreads are kinda expensive, but I think it was well worth the money. I still have some in my fridge even now!! I also really enjoyed the sunflowers, pumpkin fields, and taking pictures in the near the trees that they had growing. The corn field was really fun too!! They also have a hay ride and a kids area. They also have a shop to buy plants and trees. The first time I went to greenbrier farms this year, me and my family stayed for like 4 hours just walking and admiring nature and taking pictures and picking out pumpkins. It was really nice. I hope that it opens at other times during the year too, I haven't really researched it, but I would totally go if they had like a spring event, summer event, or winter event. read more

Greenbrier Farms - Photo op with pumpkins - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Beautiful farm with great variety! We went this past weekend and the selection was plentiful. I loved that there was a wide variety of colors and textures for pumpkins! Orange, white, blush, green, multi-color as well as super warty looking ones! We were looking for some really warty, creepy looking pumpkins and they had them! Pricing is very reasonable. We spent $22 for three pumpkins that were medium and small. They had beautiful decor items for fall available at reasonable prices as well. I loved the photo opp areas and unique school bus/truck for hay rides! We didn't ride it just because everyone wasn't wearing masks and we're just not comfortable with they right now. The farm is big and there's plenty for the kids to do. The cashier was very warm and friendly. We'll definitely visit here again! read more

I honestly was not feeling this location I'm not sure if it was because of all the nervousness I had with Covid or I just wasn't feeling it. In all things Covid you have to make sure that you are being the person who is trying to stay 6 feet away or more from other people you can't depend on others to do it especially in a location like this. The hayride was nice and we were able to distance from people because we spaced ourselves out and the workers did not ask us to move over which was nice. It took us out to the corn maze which was two dollars and then to the pumpkin patch. There was a very small sunflower field which was nice to walk through and see the butterflies and the bees on the sunflowers. The maze was uneventful it's more geared towards children that are younger like five years old. I'm sure this place and get really crowded but the lines to get any sort of food were long and to pay for your pumpkins. It is a nice place but I'm sure we would be able to find somewhere closer to our home. read more

Went the other day to the pick your own tulips! It was so beautiful. You had to bring your own supplies or buy some there. $2 for the stem or $3 if you wanted the bulb. They also had some potted for purchase as well. They have a nursery area with other plants, mulch, and animals. Depending on different months, they have different events and pick your own specials. They are active on social media so you are able to keep up with what is going on. Excited to go back and experience more! read more

If I could give this zero stars I would! I brought my children here this past weekend and the play area with the bounce houses was the first thing my 5 yo wanted to go to, of course. The jump area is not only extremely aged, it's downright dangerous! I'm not sure how this area passes any sort of safety standards or legal! It's mind blowing! They've linked different bounce houses together, which I didn't notice at first, and my 5 yo got sucked in the middle of two, invisible to other kids view, and had kids trampling over her. I had to jump in and get her. She could have really gotten hurt! It's a fatal disaster waiting to happen! There's no regulations to any of them. Most of them were missing pieces and there was duct tape all over them! We left immediately after the incident! If this area was a disaster, I didn't care to see the rest! Don't let your kids play here!!! I paid $10 to get in to watch my child almost die! read more

We came here for the Tap Tap Beer Festival and it was a great time! For the entry price, you got a glass and unlimited samples of beers from over 30 breweries. Nice set up with some live music, several food trucks, and a lot of good company. It rained for a portion of the time, and some of the awnings weren't exactly shelters, so everyone got wet. But beer folk are fun folks! Lots of good convos with a number of locals. Apparently the farm does pumpkins and strawberry picking, and we had a ton of fun checking out the pigs! We will come back in the fall for sure to check out their offerings! read more

My husband and I just finished the haunted tour and OMG!!!! I had to write a review ASAP. Ticket price is $20 per person and be prepared to wait in line for at least 30 minutes. As we waited in line for about 45 minutes, the scariest clowns since AHS ran after the kids and frightened the adults. For $20, you get a corn maze, haunted house and a haunted trail. I screamed and ran through all of them. I am an avid horror movie viewer and I thought I was desensitized to haunted attractions. FYI, walking through the corn and having a clown jump out at you with a chainsaw threw my desensitized theory out of the window. Definitely worth the wait and the price. Also, if you get hungry while waiting, there is food, under 21 and 21+ beverages sold here. I would not recommend this attraction for pregnant women or small children. No kids would sleep well after seeing what I saw. Lol read more

The most beautiful farms in town. Many things to do and many places to get some perfect photos. Amazing food! Totally recommended

I called ahead for the plants I needed and luckily the had all but 1 I was looking for. I needed 5 different plants and around 70 in total. I spoke with Miranda and she was absolutely the most helpful and friendliest. She was able to get all the plants pulled for me when I arrived and loading up my car was very efficient. The workers there were very helpful also by loading the plants. I was definitely recommend this nursery. The prices were affordable and Miranda was even able to give me a discount on one of the trees I purchased. I will be going back for any future necessities. The only problem that I have is that they do not have a return policy. Home Depot and Lowe's you plants and trees come with a year warranty. read more
