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.

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.

A small Leesburg farm on Limestone School Road specializing in seasonal Indian vegetables, greens, roots, herbs, and flowers grown for local families and restaurants.

Hard-to-find South Asian produce is the draw here.

Leesburg

Fabbioli Cellars makes wine on Limestone School Road in Leesburg, in Loudoun County's wine country.

It sits among the cluster of vineyards north of town near the Potomac.

The same family has farmed this Germantown ground since 1933, growing Silver Queen sweet corn, pumpkins, green tomatoes, and pattypan squash off Schaeffer Road.

Free tractor hayrides, horse-drawn wagon rides, and an oxcart run the property from July through October.

The stores sell plants, trees, shrubs, and garden supplies and offer landscape design, installation, and maintenance, plus a you-pick-it, we-plant-it service. This is a retail nursery chain rather than a produce farm.

Buckeystown

Mayne's grows a full vegetable stand — asparagus, sweet corn, peaches, strawberries — then turns to Christmas trees once the fields go quiet for winter. Cut your own tree on-site or grab one pre-cut, plus a custom wreath from the farm's own greenery. Fall brings a corn maze and pumpkin picking, and the farm stand stays open for produce through most of the growing season.

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.

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.

Germantown

Listed as an orchard, but the address shown (Wildcat Road, ZIP 20876) maps to Germantown, Maryland, not Washington State, so the location in this record appears to be an error. No verified crop or contact details are available for the Washington listing.

Ijamsville

Beekeeper Martin Posse grew this Ijamsville operation from two hives to more than 100, selling honey weekly at farmers markets across D.C., Maryland, and Virginia with pickup also available on the farm.

Mclean

A fall pumpkin patch on Brook Road run by St. Thomas Episcopal Church in McLean. The pumpkins are grown and harvested on Navajo Nation land in northern New Mexico, and buying one supports that community as well as the church's giving. Every dollar of pumpkin sales goes to local charities; the patch has donated more than $45,000 since it started in 2008. It opens each October.

Jefferson

Fox Haven Farm and Learning Center operates in Jefferson, in the farmland west of Frederick. Its website could not be reached at research time — contact the farm directly for current programs, hours, and visiting details.

Reservations run through the venue form on their site.

Frederick

Summers Farm spent 25 years on the family homestead on Butterfly Lane before relocating four miles away to Middletown, where it now runs its fall festival for a 29th-plus season. The draw is scale: a corn maze that gets a new theme every year — 2026's honors Alex Ovechkin — plus jumping pillows, hayrides, and a pumpkin patch. A share of every ticket funds pediatric cancer research through the GR8 Chase.

Redland

The Agricultural History Farm Park preserves 455 acres of Montgomery County farmland worked from the early 1700s through the late 1960s, with an apple orchard, farm animals, and historic barns still standing.

It's one of the few pick-your-own stops in northern Montgomery County where the cows and the fruit trees share the same address.

Great Meadows Farm sits on Annapolis Rock Road outside Frederick, Maryland.

Frederick
