I go here all summer, and have never had bad produce! The prices are better than the one on route 15, although the selection is smaller. However, I am used to buying one tomatoe at a time, and this weekend when I went to get one I was told they could no longer do that? Why not? It is not a problem at other markets, indeed I had to go elsewhere to get that dang tomatoe! Maybe rethink this policy.

don’t bother, they do not want your business. we walked in at 5:26 to ice a pint of blueberries. the employee working did not look up, she continued packing up for the night. i said excuse me how does the pick your own work. she never looked up and said you have to be out of here in fifteen minutes, as she glanced at the clock. I looked at the clock and said you mean a half an hour, she said you can leave at ten of… again, never looking up. there was no hello, no gee I’m packing up early tonight… just gruff rude bad behavior. as she walked further away(she never approached me to begin with) i said what do we put the blueberries in, she mumbled something in an aggressive irritated tone about where right outside to pick and walked away again. i said never mind this is already an extremely negative experience and started to walk out as i heard her mumbling what she thought about my comment as i left. really really weird. we didnt want to be there for three hours… we wanted one pint of blueberries and the patch was right next to the building. so rude, so negative. if i could have given this place zero stars i would have.

Does anyone know prices for blueberries and apricots this year? Thank you!

The apples ARE good but I am salivating for tomatoes. A few more weeks and I will resume the weekly trip from Rockville for great tomatoes.

This place is great if you’re looking for apples. Which I assume you are if you’re here; it’s an orchard, after all. They have a fabulous array of them, even later in the season when I went. I was a little disappointed though; the sign on the road advertising the place listed a bunch of other products they had, like honey, pumpkins, etc. But when we got there, it was pretty bare aside from the apples. I’m sure it’s better earlier in late September/early October for fall-type produce. I know they also have pick-your-own cherries and blueberries when they’re in season, though. :)

This is the first orchard I’ve been to like twenty years ago. I like them. I can’t complain. I give them three stars becasue they are well off the beaten path from US-15, and the narrow road can be tough if you get a local who thinks 20mph is good safe speed on a one lane gravel road. Regardless, I am pretty well liked to their produce. Their common market has a decent size selection and the store is not always packed with long lines off people. I do like when they fire off the canon to scare off the birds.

Took my daughter and her friend cherry picking here today. Friendly staff drove us up to the orchard in a golf cart, which the kids really enjoyed. Beautiful views of Thurmont and surrounding mountains – in fact, the scenery was my favorite aspect of the whole trip. I just enjoyed being there and seeing the view. I should mention that they fire air guns every now and then to scare the birds away from the cherries, and it can be… startling. No one told us in advance. After ducking and covering the first few times, we were cool with it. You’ve been warned. We picked for about 20 minutes and got about 5 lbs. of cherries. We had a great time and plan to go back in a few days for blueberries. Store sells jams and jellies, tomatoes, pre-picked cherries, nuts, and other fresh produce. Remember to bring cash – they do not accept credit cards. Also take a container(or just some plastic bags) if you are picking your own. They will give you a bucket to use, but you need something to put your produce in when you leave.
