Papa John’s Farm

Since it is November and the farm is closed I am just starting to miss the fresh veggies I always get here. It is a great spot to stop and get some fresh veggies. See you again in the Spring!

This is a great farmstand, with exceptional quality and excellent depth of offering. Prices are not only fair but in many cases very competitive with supermarkets. Staff is friendly, produce is fresh and in great shape. They offer excellent value on second-​quality vegetables and on canning-​quality vegetables.

My son’s preschool took their fall field trip here. The staff was very kind and efficient. They let the kids get as hands on as possible. I’m so glad I stopped to look at the produce. Yum! The red pepper and cucumber I bought were perfect. I’ll be back for more fresh fruits and veggies.

Great plants and even better value. We come here from the Eastern Shore every spring to get our plants.

First time here on a crisp, autumn Saturday – it was really nice!
There were 5 main things:
1) Barn store: lots of produce and the McCutcheon brand of jelly/​butters, I saw HUGE heads of broccoli for only $ 3. I’m talking, bigger than your head broccoli. Like giant-​fro broccoli. Squash of all types, only 50 cents for some of the smaller ones. Nice for decorating or for kids.
2) Hayride: It was $ 7.75 each person for a hayride out to the pumpkin patch and back and the price includes 1 pumpkin per person to keep. It gave you that country-​side feeling as you waited behind cotton plants for the truck to pull up. A sign forbids you from picking the cotton though. You ride with about 20 – 25 people so it’s pretty snug. Halfway, it became a haunted hayride, with spiders, ghouls, and etc, hanging from some of the trees.
3) Pumpkin patch: there were definitely enough pumpkins to keep us busy for a while! They let you off the hayride for about 15 min. You can pick a pumpkin and take some pictures quickly before everyone gets back on. I was counting on the kids to make a fuss and keep us there longer, but they were pretty well-​behaved. Darn it.
4) Animal barn: it’s not as «charming» as Baugher’s or Larriland, but there were at least 1 of each animal (donkey, horse, sheep, pigs, goats, rabbits, turkey, and chickens) housed in 2 barn houses. We met a donkey named Jenny.
5) Outside market area: this is separate from the barn store, it’s a bunch of hand-​picked pumpkins, some corny pumpkin displays for pictures, other weird-​looking squashes for sale, indian corn, etc. You can also take pictures behind two large pumpkin cutouts (you know, stick your faces through the holes and smile).
They DO take visa as well as cash. My one warning: there is a single port-​a-​potty behind the barn store. For all the people who come through there all day… only ONE bathroom? Uhmmm… at least they had 2 types of hand sanitizer available.

Have been utilizing this farm for many years for all kinds of goodies. They have yummy corn for cookouts. They give the best advice for my garden. They have the perfect veggies to pick from to grow your own every year. The best part is the cherry tomatoes that come in a pot we have bough several years in a row for the mothers in our family for mother’s day. They are the perfect give that keeps giving.

This is a cute little farm in a really convenient loaction. If you’re looking for a farm experience but don’t want to drive out into the country, this place is perfect! They have a fantastic selection of produce that’s both fresh and reasonably priced. Recently I went there and bought a jar of pumpkin butter which is fabulous!
Around now in the fall, they have hay rides to pick your own pumpkin (as well as a great selection of pre-​picked ones), as well as other Halloween-​themed attractions and products.

The best produce I have ever had, really fresh and have never felt cheated by the price. Beautiful flowers, they have great seadling selection too. And during the fall they a pick you own pumpkin hay rides that are great for kids and couples.
