Grab your basket which they provide and pick away. One thing about Frog Eye is it's not crazy huge where you end of walking for miles and then have to turn around and the blueberries, parking and purchasing are all right there, so everything is nearby and not spread out like some farms I've experienced. They offered water, bug spray and they even let us weigh our boys baskets and they could put the blue berries in them instead of the baskets they provide. They have a hand washing station too and you can eat the blue berries as you pick. I find their website and facebook page both very informative and accurate, but if you do have a question they respond very quickly through their facebook messenger. You want to get away from the city and looking for something different on your way out to Harper's Ferry and just enjoy the day and relax Frog Eye Farm is a great place for this and at $4.00 per pound it's a great value too. These blueberries were so incredibly good, you won't be disappointed. Thank you for a fun family fun day.

My friend invited me to a late season strawberry picking session at Cross the Creek Farm. I was…read moreimpressed with how well their operation is run. It appears to be a family affair. Mother is out and about talking to pickers and offering suggestions, while daughters check people in and out. The farm uses a flag system to show where the previous pickers left off. This means that the next group of pickers can get started right away where berries have not been picked. There's nothing worse than trying to pick in a section that has already been picked over. The farm offers already picked berries as well. There is a steep price difference between those you pick yourself and those that are picked for you. The berries tasted incredible. The berries are on a slight hill with lower rows between them. This meant that while you had to get down to pick them, you didn't have to crawl. Simply sitting, crouching or getting on your knees would suffice. Overall, I was very pleased with Cross the Creek Farm's product and prices and how easy they made strawberry picking. I will definitely be back next year.

Over the years, we've done apple, strawberry, and blueberry picking here, but the fall pumpkin festival is the best. There are tons of activities for the little ones - hayrides, a corn maze, farm animals, and more. Tubby's BBQ is on-site if you need lunch. The line can be long, but it moves quickly. It is on the pricier side, but well worth it. The farm is beautiful, the experience is fun, and it's a wonderful way to get the kids outdoors.

Although the Apple selections were few, we did gather some pink lady apples, which were a huge hit! Sadly, the Gala apples were not doing well this season so we didn't get to pick any of those.

Note that the entry fee does not cover your cost to pick apples so prepare to spend around $60 total. Overall, this place was great and I cannot wait to return!

In this instance, we were on the hunt for apple cider donuts. We found the donuts (delicious!) and a whole lot more. True to the name, Mt Airy is a working orchard and farm with a very impressive farm store operation.

There are apparently pick your own opportunities as well. Parking is plentiful and Mt Airy is well-staffed with a very friendly team of folks. The farm store is immaculate.
