Produce Farms near Upper Marlboro, MD

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.

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. The operation shifted from row crops to blueberries in 2015 and now tends roughly 1,000 bushes ranging from three to eight years old. Picking runs through June and July, by appointment only, so call ahead before driving out.

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.

Davidsonville

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.

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.

Ashton

Blueberry Gardens sits on Ashton Road, Route 108, in the Sandy Spring area of Montgomery County. Its website could not be reached at research time — call ahead to confirm current hours and what's available.

Franconia

Nalls Produce runs a farm market and garden center on Beulah Street in Franconia, inside the Fairfax County suburbs south of Alexandria. The stand sells fresh local vegetables alongside plants, mulch, and soil, and offers a Crop Share subscription for weekly produce. A pumpkin patch and seasonal events fill out the fall. It has long anchored this corner as a working produce market for local shoppers.

Derwood

Common Root Farm is a regenerative, small-scale, certified organic vegetable farm in Derwood, Maryland near Olney, started by farmer Ryan in 2018. Using minimal-till, crop rotation, and zero synthetic chemicals, the farm offers a CSA, an online grocery store, and farmers market stands while also supplying local restaurants, grocers, and food banks.
