We searched for a farm whose peaches weren't wiped out due to the winter frost. This was such a place! Beautiful countryside, there were clear signs that directed you to the orchard. Employees intercepted us to pay for the peaches and whatever extras( honey, jams, veggies) we wanted. There are porta potty's if you need them. The trees are on a slight incline if there's some that have difficulty walking. We walked out with 2 pecks of peaches! read more

Reluctantly posting this. Several Bags of 1 peck apples for $15 on display table. Did not see half bushel for $25. I take 3 to car and then decided to get 4th. eg $60. Person at table either "asleep at the wheel", did not care, or wanted more $$ for the farm. eg Could have said, half bushel eg 2 bags is $25, save 10 dollars buying 2 bags. Person at stand either 'asleep at the wheel" , did not care, or increasing farm profit at expense of customer , for no reason. In scheme of things, 1 hr drive, gas, and tolls, 10 dollars is minor. ON the other hand, good biz , win win and fairness should be paramount. Im sure it was innocent but nevertheless, posting this for benefit of all. . read more

We came too late. No more peaches this year but the folks are nice. The orchard is well kept. No major hills or hard terrain good for children and elders too. read more

A few years later and this is still the place to go for apple picking. For $20 you get a giant 1/2 bushel bag and you can fill it to the brim with all the apples you can pick. We were directed to area 13 which had lots of Fuji, Granny Smith and Yellow Delicious apples among others. We were there on a weekday afternoon around 10:30 am so it wasn't too crowded so we could move around the orchard without fighting the crowds for the perfect apples. They didn't have much in the way of frills set up, just a stand on the way out selling apple butter and jams. I think they might have more amenities on the weekends but I'm not sure. If you want basic non-crowded apple picking, come here on a weekday morning. Check their website for events, etc. if you're planning to come on a weekend and want more activities. Oh, and they're cash only so be sure and bring some cash since I don't think there's an ATM on site. read more

Fun time with family. We go every year and are never surprised. Good job team!! See you again next year

Love this Orchard! Super accessible for people with disabilities, injured, people with wagons or children. You are able to drive right up to the orchards and you are able to choose from multiple locations I think 1-14 or more fields! The tree types for Apples were marked with colors on the tree's. I do wish they had more signs or printed the colors on the picking bags. They offer the patrons use of picking extender (communal) which is a large stick with a basket and rack at the top so you can reach those high up apples without climbing the trees. There was enough for one person in our group to grab one at field 6. This orchard is beautiful, spacious, great for social distancing and not crowded when you get into apple rows. It was super coinvent for our group of girls that had small little ones and older individuals with us. We didn't have to hike up a ridiculous hill and the footing in the rows was flat terrain and easy to walk. I made german apple cake for neighbors and applesauce for the kids with our apples! I would highly recommend Hartland Orchard! read more

With so many orchard options around 45 minutes from Fairfax, it was hard to decide which one to visit on the perfect fall day. We ultimately decided on Hartland and are happy to report that it's going to be our go to orchard from now on!! Here's why: The picking itself was really good. Even though we were there on the busiest day of the year (according to the staff), there were tons of apples and we were directed to drive right up to the best picking. We loved that it didn't feel too crowded and we didn't have to hike up a steep hill to get to the picking. At the time of our visit, a half bushel was $20, which was a great deal for the huge haul of apples we took home. Tip - if you want the DELICIOUS cider, you have to get it when you pay for your apples - they don't have it at the farm stand. The whole experience was so kid friendly! My toddler loved running around the orchard, which had lots of flat spots. We visited the farm stand (just down the road) that had lots of food options and great activities for kids. We tasted a cider slushy, the donuts, and the apple pie and loved everything. They also had hamburgers, hot dogs, and grilled cheese. My toddler loved the tractor ride ($4 per car, which fit an adult and a toddler), the sand pit which had a bunch of cool construction toys, and the bike ride. There was also a pumpkin patch that we didn't have a chance to visit. read more

Hartland Orchard - Feeding the goats - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Markham, Virginia

What can I say??? They got their ish together. This is our go-to orchard...the only large one in the area. They have various produce including apples, peaches, corn, honey, pumpkin, berries, Christmas trees, etc. Everything is available based on the season. We visit the orchard mostly for the apples and peaches. Occasionally, we will pick up some honey or corn. Their system is very effective and simple: customers receive the requested number of bags and they are off on their own to pick fruits. The staff is super friendly, always happy. They are also very quick in adding up everything (I personally would need a calculator or additional 10 minutes!). There aren't any bathrooms, but there is a porta-potty, which is pretty decent and has tissue paper. Make sure you stop by one of the fast food places to empty your bladder if you want to avoid using this. Also bring wipes/hand sanitizer. Parking is first-come first-served basis. It is definitely better to come in the morning...even though I've never been in the evening. read more

First off, their Facebook says they are doing "pick your own apples", but when we drove the 2 hours out there (with a 6mo and 3yr old) they weren't. Their actual website also says they are doing PYO apples, but when you look closely, it states that the orchard is closed during the weekends. We did get to pick out pumpkins in their pumpkin patch, which was the only good part about the trip- but then had to wait in line for 30min to checkout. It was our first time to Hartland (since Stribling is closed this year) and the signage was not helpful. We drove to a different "gate" for apples and food, just to find out that we needed to drive back to the fist "gate". When we did, the line for lunch and donuts was even longer than the pumpkin line! At least a 45min wait, so we decided just to drive home. Overall, we were super disappointed with the visit. We wouldn't have made the drive if we had known we couldn't pick our own apples, and when we tried to "salvage" the trip, the lines for food and checkout were absurd. Not sure we will return to this particular orchard. 2020 sucks. read more

I went to cherry picking yesterday, June 4th 2024, the second day after the cherry picking started on June 3rd. there are not much cherries to pick, most of trees are infected by fungus or some kind of disease. they should mentioned it on their website. the staff was keep saying it was picked up yesterday, so there is not much left and did not want to admit that the trees are infected. We struggled just to get one bag of cherry. read more

Absolutely gorgeous orchard. I come here at least twice a year with my family. Great fruit, and an unforgettable visual ambiance. Breathtaking view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. read more

Great orchard! Went apple picking with family, and it was $20/bag of apples. Apple picking poles were provided, and there were so many trees all full of delicious apples. Lots of varieties to choose from including Fuji, golden delicious and red delicious when we went. When we got home we weighed our bag and it was a whooping 28 pounds, so it came out to less than $1/pound for apples. A great deal. The farm itself was stunning and it would be a great idea to come to visit, bring camping chairs and hang out picking apples and enjoying the view all day. Fantastic farm and will definitely be returning. read more

Hartland Orchard - Little apple picker - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Markham, Virginia

I have been going there every year when they open for Sour cherry picking. When you call to see when they open, they do not tell you the cost . To my surprise ever year they give you a bay and tell you how much it would cost when you get there. The bag keep getting smaller and price keep going up every year. I would like to know how much they are charging before I head over there with over $5.0 a gallon gas these days. I asked the owner when I was leaving and she said that they decided on the price that morning and I bet they have not posted it on their site or on recorded phone yet. May be it is time for our middle Eastern community to take our business to another orchard. Please be honest doing business and you get rewarded. read more

This is a nice orchard with a lovely selection of quality fruits and veggies. But, watch where you walk -- I was walking down an unfinished road, fell on an unseen, uneven edge, sprained my ankle (not kidding, in emergency care as I type this), and cut the HELL out of my knee. They aren't liable for injuries suffered on the property so BE CAREFUL. read more

Hartland Orchard - Stay away from walking on this road near the apples. This is where I sprained my ankle and tore open my knee. - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Markham, Virginia

How can you NOT love $12 for half a bushel of fresh apples (about 21 pounds)? There's 3 varieties to pick from - Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Jonagold. They're mixed together in the orchard, but you can tell them apart by the color painted on the tree's bark (red, yellow, and orange, respectively). But Jonagold is clearly the superior apple (hybrid of Jonathan and Golden Delicious). When you check out, make sure to pull over and visit the stand they have set up. When I was there, they were selling sweet corn, seeded blackberry jam, apple butter, and raw honey. We got the raw honey since it was made using hives on the premises, and also because I've heard that eating local raw honey can help with allergies. If you go on the weekends, my one piece of advice would be to go on Saturday morning. I went on Saturday morning and didn't have to walk more than 5 feet to pick apples, but when my parents went on Monday morning, they could only find 2 trees in the entire orchard that still had apples. read more

This time of October you mainly have Staymen & Fuji apples. We had a great weather day so Cate and I made the trip out which is not a bad drive and an easy exit of I-66 at exit 18. When you first enter you'll see a stand to the right. This is not where you pick apples though there is no sign. Continue driving until you see the farm house and the orchards are behind there. They will give you a 1/2 bushel bag. Pick all you want and pay so you leave @ $5 a bushel. The lots for specific apple types are marked with spray paint and they give you a color coded legend when you get your bag. In some areas they have long handle pick sticks with baskets on the end. A great way to spend an afternoon in the country and especially when the weather is nice. read more

This review is for the Harland Orchard (Farms) in Markham, VA near the exit off of Route 66 (west) approaching the Shen-Valley area. Have been going to this location during seasonal harvests for years. During this season, apples were in season, and on a weekend had no problem selecting from 6 different types of apple, right from the tree. Not too crowded, however, as day wears on more and more city people flock here to wander around. Recommended. As good as it gets. read more

Let me get it out of the way. There are better orchards out there. With that said, the apples are cheap. 1/2 bushel $20 and no entry fee. The worst is there is not much variety at least compared to other orchard where there was more than 10 different types this had 3. Also, it's the Wild West on the hill tops. Cars driving through the orchard (not on road), no employees directing anything once inside and very limited info shared. Not my type of place with a kid, as they cannot run free unless you want any to worry about being hit. read more

Came here mid September to pick some apples. I'm not sure if it was just me, but we could only find 3-4 types of apples, though there were so many more listed. We could only find and pick granny smith, golden delicious, greening, and red delicious (which are not delicious...). I wish they had a basic map or explained the different parts of the orchard we could go to. Picking was fun, but only really possible if you nabbed one of those apple picking poles. There were plenty of apples on the trees when I went, so of the limited choices of apples, we picked a bunch. Granny smith is great for baking, so I made tons of apple related desserts after this trip. And I snacked on a bunch of golden delicious for the following week. Parking was a bit confusing, we drove on gravel and dirt around the orchards until we found a spot on the hill. I wish it were more clear where we should go. Also, leaving and paying took forever. You pay on the way out when you're in the car. There's a check point type of place where they see your bags and tell you how much it is. The good thing is that it's by the bag so if you want a ton, fill the bag as much as you can and it'll be the same price. If you don't fill it all the way, they're nice and won't charge you for the whole bag. The scenery was pretty and we also enjoyed playing on the hay stacks a few gates down from the apple orchard. All in all I enjoyed my experience at Hartland Orchard, I just wish it were more helpful in helping with parking, showing us where to pick, and more efficient on the route out/paying for the apples. read more

This was a great place to go peach picking! The peaches tasted fantastic and very sweet. The area was large enough that you can have fun exploring.The people at the stand were also very nice and gave advice on where to go and how to get the best ones. We also bought their honey which tasted awesome!! When I went it was 12 per peck for peaches and 6 per peck for apples. My family bought 2 pecks. We stuffed that bag until it was bursting! May want to bring insect repellant and allergy meds. The little kids in the family had some problems. But it shouldn't be a problem if your prepared though. read more

I really enjoyed this orchard. It seems a little more pricey than neighboring orchards/farms but I felt like this one was more well kept and a bit larger. Get there early, bring cash or checks and wear appropriate shoes. I feel like the apple tree rows went on forever and ever which was great because you didn't feel too crowded with people even when it was ... well crowded. Parking is plentiful and like other reviewers said, you can drive right up to the orchard. They even have a section higher up (a little more tight with parking if you have a large truck) but it's doable. I'll be back in the summer to pick some berries - I've yet to do this. I eagerly await my encounter with the raspberry nazi :) Picking pumpkins here was fantastic. Nice flat land and they gave you a knife to cut the pumpkins. DON'T CUT if you aren't taking the damn pumpkin home. It was very easy to navigate through the patch and I didn't feel like I was going to trip on vines over and over again. I even found a gem of a pumpkin! The guy that checked us out even asked where I found it because they didn't plant any of that specific kind and it must have just snuck into their seeds. We had a lot of fun here. Didn't find it too crowded - then again we're early birds when doing trips like this because we hate crowds. Great views and plenty of fun things to purchase on your way out like apple butter and cider. Yum read more

Hartland Orchard is breathtaking! Absolutely beautiful farm and super easy to get to from 66. My sister and I went on a Monday afternoon so it was not very busy. However we were a little confused upon entering the farm where we should. The road that lead to the orchard was coned off? But there was no one around to tell us where to go. When we finally found someone who worked there she was not pleasant at all! We felt very uncomfortable. If it wasn't for the incredibly sweet girl at the little check out area we probably would have left. You drive right into the orchard and there are ton of trees! Beware of bees though! The apples we picked were delicious! And only 12$ a bushel. It is quiet and peaceful there, which made for a lovely afternoon. They have all types of fruit during each season. We will definitely be back! read more

So much fun! Got so many apples for $20! Such a good deal. Can't wait till other fruits are available.

Our favorite orchard in NoVA by far. My family and I will visit each Fall at least once and usually twice to pick apples and depending on our timing a pumpkin and some raspberries. This last visit was a late August weekday and not ideal in terms of timing but had to be as my daughter was leaving town and this was her only chance this season. There were only a handful of families when we rolled in around 11am. They only had the lower orchard open for picking on this day. The lower orchard has red and golden delicious as well as some cooking apples towards the back. We forgot to bring our picking stick but figured with this light crowd there would be plenty available on site. Nope! All the sticks were in the upper orchard from recent peach picking. Funny how the good apples are always just out of reach and that was our experience as well. We managed to fill a bag though with some decent apples. I'm sure my wife and I will return in a couple of weeks to pick some more. read more

I was on the farm on Saturday, November 28 to cut my own Christmas tree, I paid for my Christmas tree and some food in one transaction. When Looking at my bank account they charged me an extra $5.00 in a separate transaction that I did not authorize. When I called to find out why, I reached an answering machine, that they are closed until May. I will no be returning. read more

Hartland Orchard is beautiful! In October they have the option of apple picks, pumpkin picking and even fields of sunflowers. The sunflower fields really made our trip worth it and gave Hartland's a leg up on other orchards in the area. Unfortunately when i was there (second to the last weekend in October) all of the apples were picked over except for granny smith. Although we didn't get a variety the granny smith apples were still delicious. We filled an entire bag and it only cost $20 which seemed reasonable. You will need to bring CASH for the apples. They do not take credit card! The little area for food and jams took credit card. They had on site carmel apples, pop corn and the only other food that they had was pork sundeas (cornbread cubes with pulled pork, beans and topped with cole slaw). I wish they had more food options so if you are planning to stay for the whole day i would suggest packing some snacks or even a full lunch. The pork sundae was delicious and very unique but i had wished they had some additional offerings. If you are looking for a beautiful orchard that had more photo opps than food i would definitely pick Hartland. The sunflowers were incredible and the main reason we went. I would likely go back again next year just to go to the sunflower fields again read more

I really can't say much about the place other than it was shown as open until 5:00 pm and on Tuesday we went around 3:30 and after following all the signs and getting to the right "gate," there was a sign that said closed. read more

Hartland wasnt totally awful but I expected to have a much better experience. Never ever in all the pick your own orchard outings, have I ever been yelled before or repeatedly for eating a berry or two while picking! After all, whats the fun in that if its just work picking and you cant even eat a few berries! No way, I do not recommend Hartland. I started with the pick your own raspberries there and it was off to a bad start. The rows were long and I picked one of the ones all the way at the end. More than halfway down the row it was totally overrun with thorny branches and briars. But I was committed Then, it got so bad I was forced to turn around after my ankles were torn up and bleeding. So I moved on to a new row. Then, the guardian of the raspberries told me not to eat them, and to do more picking. I thought he had to be joking. Then he reprimanded someone else for throwing a raspberry at his girlfriend. He scoured the field with an eagle eye looking for raspberry eating offenders a couple minutes later and it dawned on me he was actually serious!! I made the mistake of popping a raspberry that fell apart into my mouth just as Raspberry Nazi came back. Oops!! He called me out immediately and said "Ma'am stop eating raspberries. I saw you eating one!" Was he for real? As if that was not bad enough, the raspberries were supposed to cost a whopping $4 for a little container of them. He charged us an extra dollar penalty when we bought ours. And that left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Next peaches. There were none left even though when I called in advance they specifically claimed to have them. Not one peach on the tree! People were scavengering them off the ground. The ground peaches were good but most were fermented and rotten beyond even my eating standards. read more

I love this place! I've been here twice with my bf, and each time has been a wonderful experience. The first time we went to pick raspberries and blackberries during the late summer (August 29), and the second time we went to pick sour cherries in the very early summer (June 21). The first time we went, it was sunny and gorgeous out, and the second time it had just rained, so it was a tad muddy and the cherries were all dewy wet. There were definitely more cherries to pick from than raspberries / blackberries. I guess we came at the right time! Both times, I was super impressed with the pricing! And the first time, there was a stand with fresh Roma Tomatoes, sausage, and other farm-fresh veggies for sale. I can't remember the exact prices, but they were definitely far less expensive than any grocery store (especially in the DC Metro Area!). And Hartland Orchard is only an hour from DC! I filled up my tank of gas while I was at it, too! Amazing prices all around, for the win! Four pounds of sour cherries turned out to be $4. You can't beat that! The only thing that made me sad about this place is that when my bf and I were paying and leaving the orchard this past Saturday, a family who had driven an hour to get to Hartland Orchard was turned away at 5PM because the ladies at the register said they were closed. On Yelp it said they were open until 6PM :( I just felt so bad for the family :( read more

Went here for the first time yesterday and loved it. Blueberries and sour cherries galore! Very tasty stuff. The negative reviews here are goofy -- sour grapes from people who don't know how to plan properly and avoid crowds. (Giving a place a bad review because it's too busy? Or because you were eating (stealing) berries and were asked to stop? Seriously?) The website is very clear about calling first in order to find out what is available for picking. I'm not sure what else these folks want. I somehow managed to have a lovely experience. :-) read more

Love Hartland Orchard! Been here three times so far, once last fall to pick apples and twice this summer to pick peaches and raspberries. It makes for a great escape from DC, especially when combined with lunch at the Apple House and an afternoon at a few select wineries nearby, or a trip over to Shenandoah. Basically there's lots of good excuses to stop here. Sad to hear another review was scolded, as we've never had a problem with enjoying a couple fruits of our labor while we pick. This place is a great time, it's cheaper than the stores, and they even sell other vegetables that they grow at great prices so we've picked up sweet corn, zucchini, squash, and peppers for great deals too. Definitely a favorite activity outside the beltway! Check their website for what's open for picking and what's in season. read more

Fantastic orchard--the previous poor reviews had to have been by people who didn't plan well. The trick is to get there early. I don't care where you go, or what season, pick your own farms are extremely popular in this area. Plan on getting there when they open and take a nap when you get home. The best thing about Hartland Orchard, other than its proximity, is that you can drive right up to the orchard you will be picking. Checkout is on your way out, at a central point in front of the farmhouse. Other places make you take a hayride or hike out to the fields. This is much more convenient. Make sure to bring a cooler with drinks and snacks--it definitely comes in handy! Call ahead to make sure what you want is available. The heat this year started everything a week or so earlier than what is listed on the annual calendar. read more

So, baby bro from Florida was in town for Thanksgiving. We obviously had to cut down a Christmas tree. You know, do stuff he can't do in Florida. I did some googling and decided on this farm. Not entirely sure how I decided but I am SO glad I did! We get there and there are complimentary hot drinks (they were out, when we got there, but you know it's the thought that counts and we were there close to closing) also you could buy freshly made caramel apples! and little pies! and preserves! and christmas trees, which is the whole point of this. i get distracted so easily. they have a bazillion (9) types of trees - all of them awesome. I have no idea what kind of tree i got (i meant to ask but got distracted) but i think it's perfect and precious and the best tree ever. They provide you with a saw and safety gloves, btw. Baby bro and I searched long and hard for our perfect tree and then shared the responsibility of cutting it down. Sibling bonding, guys. Lots of photos were taken of this bonding experience. Pull up your pants, bro. When we took it back to be put in the net for it's ride back to Alexandria on top of my tc (teehee that was adorable) they were struggling to fit a GIANT tree through the netting contraption. So, baby bro and I helped out. Took two guys pulling, two guys pushing, and me standing on the platform so it wouldn't tip to get that sucker through. Once that was done they netted ours...the precious baby didn't give any resistance, and they secured it to the top of my car! Then off into the sunset baby bro and i drove to bring the tree back to my abode for the holidays. All in all great experience. The staff was super friendly, one might even say JOLLY. Bring cash. They don't accept tips, we tried! read more

My wife and I were hoping to harvest sour cherries for pies, preserves and a batch of home-brewed beer. Though the season is about 7 days we managed to get our butts in gear head out of town to Hartland Orchard. Hartland Orchard was the only pick-your own farm that answered the phone. I neglected to ask the price for sour cherries and was pleasantly surprised to find the price $1 per pound as opposed to $2.50 elsewhere (and $4 a pint at the farmer's market the same morning). A couple of hours or work later, with the wife standing on the car to reach some of the best and last high hanging fruit and we had 22 pounds of cherries and were ready to head home. As of June 28 black raspberries and blueberries were coming in as well, with peaches just a few weeks off. This pick-your-own fruit orchard is worth a trip out of the city as you'll meet some nice folks and get a great deal on the freshest fruit you can find. Now off to work canning and brewing. Cheers! read more

My 4 year old and I picked 2 pints of blueberries and a pint of raspberries this morning, $4 each containers provided. I was thrilled with the amount of blueberries and they are so delicious.... One of the pints may already be gone. Really friendly staff. See also Green Truck Farm, his nephew runs that part of the farm - lots of updates on FB with what's in season for both farms. We will be back to pick peaches and then in the Fall apples. Tips: As with any fruit picking, it's a good idea to wear sunscreen AND bug spray. We brought a cooler, with water and lunch. They have some picnic tables by the blueberry bushes in the shade. read more

The good part was the picking. We picked apples & peaches Which looked Delicious! Also they have Caramel apples and apple ciders you can buy. But the place next door is NOT worth your money! The slide is very slow. The jumping pillow was ok, but you could only jump like a foot. The corn pit was fun but when you get up you are super dusty. The petting zoo is just two nice goats they love the corn from the corn pit ! You can use a apple machine for like 2 apples for a dollar, I personally think the apple machine should've been free. The corn maze was pretty fun although a lot of the corn stalks are sticking out and one hit my daughters eye which turned red. Don't waste you money on the kid area unless you have kids 5 and under. Neither my 12 or 8 year old thought it was the best thing ever. The best part is picking, it's the best! Very very nice workers! read more

The people that own this place are so friendly!! I can't wait to come back in the spring to get sour cherries! Their fall festival days are fun to visit and the drive there is so pretty. I love how the farm is situated near the blue ridge mountains! They have so much to offer and there prices are very reasonable! One of my favorite pyo places. read more
