Catoctin Mountain Orchard

Thurmont, MD

Catoctin Mountain Orchard has sold fruit from its Thurmont farm for 60 years, supplying the Frederick County Public School lunch program alongside its retail market. Pick-your-own runs through the season for apples, blueberries, black raspberries, and cherries, while the market stocks peaches, nectarines, and tomatoes plus fifteen flavors of baked fruit pie, apple dumplings, and cider donuts. The orchard is open daily 9am-5pm and also grows cut-your-own zinnias, lisianthus, and celosia.

Cherry Hill Orchards

Listed as an orchard in Maryland, but the well-known Cherry Hill Orchards — pick-your-own stone fruit, apples, and pumpkins, plus a full garden center — operates in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, not Maryland. No separate Maryland orchard under this name turned up in business or press records. Likely a state mismatch in the source data rather than a distinct farm.

It's open Wednesday through Sunday, 10am-4pm, seasonally, and also raises hormone-free meat alongside its produce.

Kingsbury's Orchard

Dickerson, MD

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.

Lewis Orchards

Dickerson, MD

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.

The retail stand sits at 3301 Churchville Road in Aberdeen, open Monday through Saturday 8:30am-6pm and Sunday 9:30am-5:30pm; the original Snake Lane farm store closes seasonally. Call ahead in winter months, when picking and pressing wind down.

Milburn Orchards

Elkton, MD

Milburn Orchards runs u-pick seasons for blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, apples, and cherries on its Elkton orchard, with the exact fruit depending on the week.

Closed Mondays.

Wednesday hours run 2 to 6 p.m. from late spring through October, with vendors selling local produce, baked goods, honey, and specialty foods. The wooded community-center setting gives it a quieter feel than the county's bigger markets.

Pryor's Orchard

Thurmont, MD

Pryor Orchards grows peaches, apples, pears, cherries, apricots, plums, prunes, and nectarines on Pryor Road outside Thurmont, at the foot of the Catoctin Mountains, along with nuts and homemade jellies.
