    Adorable pumpkin patch and orchard! Super reasonable entry fee--just $4 a person. They had lots of pumpkins and gourds of all different sizes and kinds to pick! The farm also has goats, donkeys, pigs, and llamas. There were a couple baby goats that were especially adorable! They have a hay ride as well which is included and a cute little market with fresh produce and canned goods. We didn't go apple picking but easily could have and are hoping to go back in the future to pick cherries and peaches!

    I was very surprised with Homestead Farm, and all the offerings for an extremely low price of three dollars per person entry fee. The farm is not too far from the DC area. The three dollar fee will get you in the door. What's included is; ability to see goats, chickens, alpacas, pigs, and other farm animals up close this includes a hayride. The hayride was about 15 minutes long and ran about 5 to 7 minutes per tractor. Kids and adults really enjoyed it. They were cute little photo opportunities all over the farm. The pumpkin picking section had ample space. And the staff was replacing pumpkins at a decent rate. There's a lot of selection on the quality of pumpkins looked very good. The cost per pound for a pumpkin was $.75. Another reason why we came here was that that Apple picking was still in season. There was a vast selection of apples available to Pick. The quality of the apples was excellent. we came for the pumpkin picking but stay for the apple picking. The staff was very friendly after he picked up about 60 pounds of pumpkins. we did not want to haul around the farm so we went back dropped off the pumpkins at the car and they let us back in. Here's an important tip: make sure you grab a cart from the parking lot and take it with you into the farm. It's gonna be very hard to carry more than one pumpkin in and around. The only criticism was they did not have apple cider donuts. Aside from that it was a perfect delightful day. I highly recommend this place it's small intimate and not as commercialized as the other farms, or the entry fee significantly higher other types of activities, such as a hayride cost an additional fee. We will be back next year. My fingers are crossed that they have apple cider donuts.

    Into this! Zucchini instead of eggplant tastes just as good cooks way faster...

    Always forget how awesome this place is until we bring kids to pick fruit and see animals. Just a short drive out past darnestown lots of fresh produce in the farmers market as well. We did blackberry and nectarine picking the even the tractor ride to the field was fun and scenic. Will not sleep on this place for pumpkins this year and fresh cider and candy apples.

    I was a bit disappointed with my experience here and granted I could've done more research to better prepare so I'm taking that into account with my rating. First off, they only had two varieties of apples for picking. It looks like they might have other varieties but they weren't ready to pick... Not one hundred percent sure about that though. Secondly, the food. The "Country Kitchen" was a very big disappointment. One would think they made their own products fresh, or at least with their own fruit. They did not. They buy the pies off-site, it's frozen and shipped to them and then they heat it up and sell it. And the apple cider... I'm pretty sure it's store bought apple cider that's heated up. There wasn't even any pulp in it. The one redeeming factor, even though they said they were out of blackberries we found quite a few ripe ones. Of course, being out of prime picking time we also had our handfuls of sour and fermented berries. But definitely worth checking out if you're going to the farm, it was really the highlight and what made the trip worthwhile, in my opinion. The animals are fun to see and the walkway for the goats was very cute.

    Great! We came here because they don't have a ton of fall festival activities and we wanted a low-key farm experience. Only $3 per person entry, and then apples, pumpkins, etc. are available for purchase inside. Free hay ride and petting zoo with farm animals. Alpacas, goats, pigs, chickens, and donkeys. The kids liked picking apples, but because we went toward the end of the season, we had to do some serious searching for good ones. But came away with 10+ pounds for each family! The hay ride was pleasant through the countryside, without any scary ghosts or things on display. The small market did not have much variety except produce, and the food stall was not open when we were there. But the pumpkins for purchase were gorgeous and the kids had a blast! Would 100% come back next year earlier in the season!

    I LOVED my peach picking experience! I came here on a Wednesday morning at 9:30am and it was not busy. When I was leaving, there was a good amount of people so I'm glad I came early. Everything was pretty close together so I walked to the peaches field and blackberry field. There is a wagon if you don't want to walk. Lots of peach trees (yellow peaches, white peaches, and white nectarines). I brought my own container to put my peaches in, but you can buy them at the market too. When you enter the farm, you pay a $2 admission fee at the market. The peaches were not expensive! There are animals (goats, chickens, donkeys...) and flower fields as well. The market has lots of veggies and jams as well. Great experience! The farm is easy to find and the roads aren't terrible. I would definitely come again!

    Driving out to Homestead Farm was like taking a mini vacation in the country -- everything was so scenic and beautiful! Unlike other farms in the area, you do not need a reservation which is a plus in my book. We went on a weekend afternoon right before closing and it was very easy to socially distance and for most part, we had rows of raspberry bushes to ourselves. We had a wonderful time enjoying the scenery and animal but we had several womp womps: + Raspberry bushes were completely picked through so we came home with 29 berries (mostly pity picks since we drove all the way there) + Flower fields (sunflowers and zinnias) are absolutely beautiful but would recommend bringing your own shears (they give you the equivalent to Fiskar scissors which badly bruised the stems and were hard to use). Also recommend bringing your own vase since all of our flowers were very badly wilted/brown by the time we had went to pay (immediately after picking). + They have seasonal peach milkshakes but they were not cold at all (pre-made). Overall it ended being quite expensive for what we got although we really enjoyed being out and about the beautiful area. Hopefully when we return the fruit will be more plentiful (I wish they warned you ahead of time via their website, social media or even when you walked in). Would definitely come back again!

    Such a treat. I love coming to Larriland each year to grab fresh fruit. I typically come for…read morepeaches but was so upset when I planned to go and decided to check online and the season had ended. It was just open on Monday and then closed by Friday. I was so sad. 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 went to Larriland Farm with a few friends this past Saturday afternoon for blackberry and peach…read morepicking, which are two of my favorite fruits. 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.

We reserved a private space with a private tasting, which made the day feel extra special and perfect for a large group. For many of our guests, it was their first time visiting this location, and everyone had such a great time. One of the co-founders, Greg, personally led our tasting and was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, welcoming, and checked on us throughout the afternoon to make sure everything was going smoothly. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. I also appreciated that some friends who don't drink were still able to enjoy themselves thanks to the non-alcoholic options. The property itself is beautiful with scenic views, plenty of space to relax, and such a peaceful atmosphere. We had amazing weather the day we visited, which made it even more memorable. If you are looking for a great place for a birthday, celebration, group outing, or just a relaxing day with friends, I highly recommend! We will definitely be back.

There was PLENTY of seating still - lots of large and small tables scattered throughout the property. They also have seating inside the winery at a small bar. The wine itself was really nice; we had several bottles of the rose at the table. It was light, crisp, and easy to sip in the nice weather. I was impressed that they also had 2 non alcoholic wines; the non drinkers in our group were happy to have some options made just for them (which were delicious also). There is a third party pizza business that had food offerings; we had many different types of their pizza which were all good. Very smart to have a food option for folks to enjoy while we sip our wine. Overall, the property is wonderfully maintained and the wines meet all expectations. I'd recommend giving this spot a try if you're looking for a nice winery north of the beltway!
