They never disappoints and the customer service is always outstanding. Miller's is a absolutely wonderful place i always remember coming here as a kids but back then they had some competition because there was two other farms located in this area. Miller's has always been the best as far as I can remember out of the three.

We were in the area visiting family and my daughter took us to Miller Farms. Good selection of…read morefruits and vegetables, including a wide variety of potatoes. Large selection of meats, especially pork products. They were unfortunately out of double yolk eggs which we were curious to try. The bakery section was excellent, especially since they had a no sugar added apple pie that turned out to be delicious. We also bought donuts for the family. Not sure if we'll ever be in Maryland again, but will stop at Miller Farms if we do.

I visited the nursery section only and the variety was impressive. I found most of what I was…read morelooking for which was a win. However the service was very hit or miss. The woman who checked us out was an absolute delight, warm, funny, and exactly what you hope for at a local farm stand. Unfortunately my experience in the herb section was the opposite. When I asked about strawberry plants and was told they didn't have any, I mentioned I was a first time gardener and asked if she could recommend something beginner friendly. Her response was essentially "just pick something, all you have to do is water them." When I explained again that I was new and looking for guidance, she told me she couldn't help me. As a first time gardener trying to learn, that kind of dismissiveness was discouraging. If it weren't for the lovely woman at checkout, I likely wouldn't return. I ended up going to Ed's Plant World in Brandywine where the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful to a beginner. The difference was night and day. That said, I'm giving 4 stars because the place is really awesome in terms of selection and variety. The woman in the herb section may have just been having a bad day. It's absolutely worth checking out.

Swann Farms is the perfect COVID outing - outside the whole time, the system of getting a container…read moreand filling it to your liking really limits interaction with anyone that you didn't come to pick with, and they have lots of picnic tables and chairs well spaced apart to bring a picnic lunch after you get your berries. Plus the berries were delicious of course, as were the corn, watermelon, and tomatoes we bought at the farm stand and all really affordable! I'd recommend going at a slower time - we got there at about 10:00 on a Saturday and by 11:00 it started getting crowded. For the first hour it was easy to avoid other families, and get lost in picking out our berries, but when it got crowded it became a little harder, but not impossible to stay spaced out. Plus only 45 minutes from DC, it's a nice get-out-of-the-house, forget about COVID, and get-out-of-the-city activity, and you could even do it with friends you are distancing from and spread out while picking. And bonus - they plant and give to Maryland Food Bank. We plan on going regularly until the season ends, for sure.

There is enough space to maintain social distancing protocols in both the blueberry and blackberry sections. Although you can't pick peaches here, you can buy them fresh! Toddler and double stroller friendly. There's not a lot of signage. You'll want to stop at the market at the front to pay for your picking containers. If you keep driving (like we did!) your little ones will get to see more of the farm which is cool!

While the market is on the small side, they maximize space and have quite a few vendors and plenty of parking. Despite being able to conduct a rather brisk walkthrough of the market, I was also able to pick up several items along the way before I headed to another market. Overall, if you're in the area this market is worth a visit. It's also worth considering if you're not in the area but keeping in mind that it's small would be prudent.

Came here in early May on the recommendation of some friends who live in the area. Since we were…read morevisiting La Plata, we figured we'd see what the locals recommend. Pretty respectable-sized establishment! There were a lot of vendors selling things that were not food/produce. I think I saw more people selling soaps, creams, and body butter than any other product. Great selection to choose from if that's what you're looking for. I ended up having a nice chat with one of the guys who had a nice variety of soaps both scented and unscented. Several vendors were selling potted plants. I imagine the produce stands are more represented in the peak of summer and fall. There were a few when we went (early May) selling some cabbages and other leafy greens as well as some apples and root veggies. At the one end of the parking lot were several trucks hawking food and drinks. I had been told to look for a donut truck, but none to be found the day we went. There was one selling coffees, another selling cold-pressed juices, and another selling pizzas. Bonus: there is a port-a-potty available to all. I've been to bigger markets without one and I think it's brilliant that one is available.

On the property, we visited the petting zoo, did a kid's corn maze (along with a slide), took a hayride to the pumpkin patch and had the kids pick out their own pumpkins. They had a ball! The farm also has fresh vegetables, ciders, honey, jams, meat and other items available for purchase. The entry fee is $11 for those 2 and above which I think is reasonable. They also have ice cream(which they all loved), milkshakes, root beer floats and pulled pork sandwiches available for purchase. They have strawberry and blackberries for picking in the spring(will be back). The family was very friendly and informative. was friendly. My Grandkids had a ball.

We still charged us five dollars per person to enter and there's really nothing we could do. We saw a few goats and the hayride wasn't operating so we were literally there for 10 minutes! We did get to take home a small pumpkin each, so I guess it was not as bad paying an entrance fee . They had a goat barn and it looked like a couple of areas with some swings and a corn maze, but you would have to go in a day when the weather was better, but it is a tiny farm area.

Small but really nice. About 6-7 vendors selling a nice variety of veggies, fruits, flowers, meats, baked goods, and one selling cooked something-or-other for a meal to eat there. We will definitely be coming here again! Most of the items *we think* are locally-grown, but cannot absolutely verify this. Considering the pandemic and the physical distancing we all have to abide by, everyone was doing a really nice job, both sellers and customers. Definitely worth 5 stars!!
