Agritourism & Farm Experiences in Bowie, MD

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.

Upper Marlboro

Mitchellville

Carl and Carole Brady run this fifth-generation family farm between Washington and Annapolis, growing fresh vegetables for more than 30 years. The market sells produce picked that same day, and fall brings the pumpkin patch and carving events the Bradys host for the community. Open daily from July through the start of November.

Glenn Dale

Cornelius and Emma Dudley started this Glenn Dale produce farm in 1995 growing ethnic crops like callaloo and potato greens, then opened it to pick-your-own greens the following year. Everything on the property is grown without synthetic chemicals.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Reach the farm office at (410) 923-0726 or [email protected].

Harwood

Joel Greenwell Sr. and his children have run this 82-acre Anne Arundel County farm for more than 25 years, planting a sunflower patch and pumpkin patch that feed into fall festival season. The corn maze and haybale spider sculptures - the farm calls itself the "Home of the Spiders" - draw families off Route 2, alongside pedal tractors and a kernel-corn sandbox for younger kids. Christmas trees close out the season after the pumpkin patch wraps.

Harwood

This Harwood farm stand runs a small, easy-to-reach setup on Route 2 heading south from Annapolis, selling produce farm-to-table style straight off the property.

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.

Riverdale Park

Riversdale is a Federal-era mansion built between 1801 and 1807 by Henri Stier and completed by his son-in-law George Calvert, now run as a house museum by the nonprofit Riversdale Historical Society. Guided tours depart the visitor center Fridays and Sundays at noon and 2 p.m., covering the estate's history including the enslaved and free people who lived and worked there. It sits inside Riverdale Park, a short walk from the Town Center.

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.

Glen Burnie

Pumphrey's keeps it simple: home-grown vegetables at the farm stand, plus cured firewood and topsoil for anyone stocking up for the season. The lineup shifts with what's ripe — the stand doesn't try to carry everything, just what's actually coming out of the ground that week.

Lothian

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

Greenstreet Gardens is a family-owned garden center on West Bay Front Road in Lothian, stocking seasonal annuals and perennials, native plants, houseplants, shrubs, and trees alongside fresh herbs and exotic tropicals. Fall brings pansies, mums, and pumpkins; winter brings Christmas trees, poinsettias, and custom wreaths. A second location operates in Alexandria, Virginia.

West River

Holiday Memories Farm in West River combines a cut-your-own Christmas tree farm with pasture animal encounters through its Real FarmHERS program, plus fresh free-range eggs, seasonal produce, and sunflowers. The Anne Arundel County farm also hosts private and public events year-round, from celebrations to hands-on workshops.

Glen Burnie

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.

Pickup happens at the farm's Gorman Road location, while the growing operation itself is based a few miles away in Highland.

Pasadena

Kevin's Beekeeping tends hives in Pasadena, Anne Arundel County, on the peninsula between the Patapsco River and the Chesapeake Bay. Current honey availability and sales location aren't listed online — reach out directly.

Clinton

Summer crops have included tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, kale, cabbage, squash, cucumbers, and cantaloupe, plus a nursery for flowers and plants. Fall brings hayrides, a corn maze, and slides, with pick-your-own strawberries earlier in the season.

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.

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.

Fort Washington

Baltimore

Bennett's Curse has run as a Baltimore-area Halloween haunted house for more than two decades, packing four themed attractions — Halloween 3D, The Crypts, House of the Demons, and Ravenbrook Asylum — into more than thirty minutes of walk-through scares. It's a seasonal operation, open only in the weeks around Halloween, with combo tickets available alongside the affiliated Creepywoods Haunted Forest. Check their site for exact open nights before buying tickets.

At Last Farm sits along At Last Farm Road in Aquasco, a quiet stretch of southern Prince George's County near the Patuxent River where tobacco fields gave way to produce and livestock operations decades ago. No website or listed contact was found for the farm online.

Baltimore

The Nevermore Haunt is a seasonal Halloween attraction on Mott Street in Baltimore. Its website returned an error at research time — check their social channels for open nights and ticket prices before visiting.

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.

Stevensville

Kent Fort Farm on Kent Island offers pick-your-own peaches, blackberries, and vegetables through the summer, then shifts to u-pick pumpkins, hayrides, and a weekend petting zoo each October. The Stevensville farm sits in Queen Anne's County and draws a steady following on Facebook.

North Bethesda

Waldorf
