The farmhouse is currently closed for renovation.

Strawberries come pick-your-own in May, pumpkins in October, and the farm raises its own beef, pork, and chicken alongside a produce CSA. A children's play area and hay wagon rides round out the fall visits, and the farm sells at markets across the D.C. area.

Germantown

The same family has farmed this Germantown ground since 1933, growing Silver Queen sweet corn, pumpkins, green tomatoes, and pattypan squash off Schaeffer Road. A giant pumpkin grown on the property has drawn coverage from the Washington Post and the Germantown Gazette. Free tractor hayrides, horse-drawn wagon rides, and an oxcart run the property from July through October.

This Poolesville pick-your-own farm runs a rotating harvest of blackberries, blueberries, tart cherries, peaches, apples, and pumpkins, priced by the pound and paid for at the field.

Pets, professional photography, and birthday parties aren't permitted on-site.

Laurel/Columbia

Gorman Produce Farm runs a CSA out of Laurel, with weekly shares built around whatever is in season plus pick-your-own strawberries.

Beyond picking, the farm hosts seasonal festivals and keeps a restaurant on-site for visitors who want lunch before or after a trip through the fields. Closed Mondays year-round.

Waldorf

The Middleton family's connection to this land goes back to the 1600s, and the farm carries its 1989 recognition as a Maryland Bicentennial Farm. Current owner Thomas 'Mac' Middleton and his late wife Joanie bought it in 1981 and shifted it from tobacco to hay and a 25-head cattle herd. Every fall it opens for a pumpkin patch and a Christmas tree shop, and for decades the family has donated trees to the Waldorf Volunteer Fire Department.

Upper Marlboro

Gaithersburg

Maryland Honey Company sells honey and live bees on a wholesale basis out of Gaithersburg, having closed its retail storefront. Beekeepers and honey buyers can still reach the company by phone to arrange wholesale orders — walk-in retail sales are no longer part of the business.

Upper Marlboro

Montpelier Farms has run a fall festival on Crain Highway in Upper Marlboro since Mike and Adrianne Dunn opened it in 2008 with a corn maze, pumpkin patch, and hayrides. The farm has since added spring u-pick tulips, event rentals, and private campfires. The fall festival runs September through early November, Friday and Saturday 10am-7pm and Sunday 10am-6pm.

Bowie

Patuxent Nursery stocks one of the larger Maryland-native-plant selections in Prince George's County alongside trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals. The Crain Highway garden center rounds out planting projects with soil, pavers, fountains, and yard decor, and staff give hands-on advice at the register rather than pointing you to a website FAQ. A food truck parks on-site on busy weekends.

Germantown

Red Wiggler Care Farm, on Ridge Road inside Ovid Hazen Wells Park in Germantown, is a working organic farm built around employment for adults with developmental disabilities. Its 200-share CSA supplies vegetables, herbs, and flowers, and the farm's Harvest Share Program gives half of what it grows to low-income households in the community. Volunteers and farm tours are welcome.

Upper Marlboro

Johnsons Berry Farm is in Upper Marlboro, in Prince George's County's tobacco-turned-produce belt along the Patuxent, an area with a handful of pick-your-own strawberry and berry operations. No current website or social page for this specific farm could be confirmed online — the name also belongs to an unrelated Washington State berry farm.

Brookeville

Sharp's has worked this 530-acre spread in Western Howard County since 1903, running a spring greenhouse operation - naturally raised herbs, heritage vegetable plants, cutting-garden flowers - from mid-April into mid-summer before shifting into fall hayrides and farm tours that run through mid-November. Group and birthday parties book the barns alongside educational farm programs for school groups.

Centreville

Boyds

Mitchellville

Carl and Carole Brady run this fifth-generation family farm between Washington and Annapolis, growing fresh vegetables for more than 30 years.

Dickerson

Lewis Orchards is listed at 18901 Peach Tree Road in Dickerson, inside Montgomery County's Agricultural Reserve near Sugarloaf Mountain. Current crops and hours aren't confirmed online — note that a separate, unrelated Lewis' Orchards operates near Smithsburg, so call ahead to reach the right farm.

Pirate Adventure Corn Maze is a seasonal corn maze in western Montgomery County, off Darnestown Road near Beallsville. It's listed as a fall agritourism stop on regional corn-maze directories alongside Maryland's other pick-your-own farms. Call ahead to confirm the current season's hours and maze design before driving out.

Poolesville

Aix La Chapelle Farm is a 180-acre estate in Montgomery County's Agricultural Reserve that combines a working pick-your-own orchard with event hosting.

Dickerson

Five generations of one family have farmed this stretch of Montgomery County's Agricultural Reserve since 1907, when Edwin and Minerva Horine first worked the land. Their son Phil planted the first peach trees during the Depression; his great-grandson Gene Kingsbury later spotted a mutation on one of those trees and turned it into Kingsbury Pride, a yellow freestone peach the orchard now grows exclusively. Season opens with cherries and apricots in June, then peaches, plums, and nectarines.

Chantilly

Lothian

Berry Daze is a family-owned pick-your-own blueberry farm on Upper Pindell Road in Lothian, run by the same family for more than 50 years.

Picking runs through June and July, by appointment only, so call ahead before driving out.

Nokesville

Davidsonville

Family-owned and run since 1989, Y Worry Farm opens its roughly 5-acre pumpkin patch on fall weekends with gourds, winter squash, Indian corn, and straw alongside the pumpkins. Kids climb a straw pyramid and duck into a corn-stalk teepee while chickens and goats work the fence line. After 25 seasons of choose-and-cut, the farm retired its Christmas tree sales and now runs pumpkins only.

Chantilly

Poolesville

East Oaks Farm, on Whites Ferry Road in Poolesville, is run by Ali Mohadjer, who trained through the University of Maryland Extension before building it into a working small farm. It raises free-range Rhode Island Red hens on a soy- and GMO-free diet alongside grass-fed cows, goats, and sheep, and grows produce and flowers sold through a CSA. Visitors can book animal visits and farm tours, and the grounds also host private events.

Lothian

Phipps Pumpkin Patch in Lothian runs the fall standards - a corn maze, a farmstand stocked with pumpkins, and tractor-pulled hayrides out to the fields. It's a smaller, family-run stop compared to the region's bigger agritourism draws, working off Talbott Road south of Annapolis.

Owings

Six generations of the Swann family have worked this ground above the Patuxent River, and the farm is entering its 75th-plus year of growing strawberries, asparagus, tomatoes, and blueberries. Twenty acres are set aside for pick-your-own, with honey from the farm's own hives sold alongside whatever's ripe. It's one of the older working farms left in Northern Calvert County.

Lothian

Paddy's Produce runs a roadside stand on West Bayfront Road stocked with sweet corn, squash, green beans, cucumbers, and watermelons through the growing season. It's a small operation serving the local Lothian community from spring planting through fall harvest — no frills, just what's ripe that week.

Lothian

Chase's Produce has run a farm stand on Davidsonville Road since 1961, when George and Betty Stafford opened it. The market sells sweet corn, peaches, green beans, squash, cucumbers, potatoes, and tomatoes grown on-site, plus a pick-your-own strawberry patch that opens in May. Hours shift with the harvest, running shorter on weekdays and longer on weekends, and produce sometimes sells out before closing.

Gambrills

Maryland Sunrise Farm covers 857 acres of the former Naval Academy Dairy Farm in Gambrills, making it the largest certified-organic farm in the state. Anne Arundel County's Department of Recreation and Parks now runs the operation, growing organic vegetables, hay, corn, and soybeans, and raising organic beef and dairy replacement heifers.
