A note when the season turns nearby. Nothing else, and you can stop any time.
Manoff Market Gardens at New Hope explains what happened to this region's fruit better than any farm on the site. Two abnormally hot days in April pushed the trees into full blossom, the temperature then fell through the floor, and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Nine farms here report losing all or part of a crop. Strawberry Hill Farm at Chesterfield has no pick-your-own fruit at all this year, in its own words after a devastating freeze that took the whole thing. Robson's at Wrightstown says it will have peaches but far fewer than normal. If you are planning around stone fruit in 2026, ring first, and expect a thin answer.
What is unaffected is berries, and this region has the best of them. Hammonton in the New Jersey Pine Barrens calls itself the Blueberry Capital of the World, and around it sits a dozen small farms that pick blueberries and nothing else: DiMeo at $2.50 a pint by appointment, Bear Berries opening around the 20th of June, Wells', Clement, Haines, Piper, New Lisbon. Several have no website at all and run entirely on a Facebook post. They are the real thing and they are worth the drive across the Delaware.
Closer in, Bucks County and the river towns north of the city hold the highest concentration of farms. Solebury Orchards publishes exact dates for everything, blueberries from the 25th of June to the 22nd of August and apples from the 20th. Tabora at Chalfont picks blueberries every day from nine to four and puts its pears on the first weekend in September. Shady Brook at Yardley gives you a free picking pass Wednesday to Friday.
West of the city are the two destination farms. Linvilla at Media is open every day from eight, parking and grounds are free, and it picks six crops including Concord grapes. Highland Orchards at West Chester runs Tuesday to Sunday and closes Mondays.
The serious varietal orchards are further out, up towards Berks and Lancaster. Weaver's at Morgantown picks twelve different fruits from Memorial Day to late October, more than anywhere else in the region. Kauffman at Bird-in-Hand publishes a full dated crop calendar, strawberries from the 30th of May onward. Both are an hour and a half from Philadelphia and both are worth it.
The longest season on the list, and the easiest afternoon out. Variety decides ripeness more than the calendar does.

None Such Farm at Buckingham is a third-generation farm and market, and it is unusually strict about what it does: its crops are "all available exclusively at None Such Market". What You Can Pick Strawberries, and the farm treats it as a special event rather than a season. Pumpkins come at the Pumpkin Festival. Everything else the farm grows, including asparagus, sweet corn and tomatoes, is sold in the market rather than picked. Good to Know Two addresses, and they matter. The market is at 4458 York Road, open Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 6pm, closed Sunday and Monday. The farm is at 4493 York Road, across the road, and is "open during special events" only. The market is 100% non-GMO and sells farm-raised angus beef, a deli, a bakery and chef-prepared meals. Phone 215-794-5201. Pro tip: the strawberry picking here is a handful of dates, not a month. Watch the farm's Special Events page in late May rather than turning up and finding a very good butcher's counter instead.

Penn Vermont Fruit Farm at Ottsville grows apples in a way almost nobody else does, and says so bluntly: "We do not use pesticides or chemical sprays in our orchard, therefore, our natural apples may have spots and not be grocery-store perfect. They are, however, the most delicious, healthy apples you will find anywhere." What You Can Pick Apples and blackberries. The picking season runs June through October. The named varieties are Golden Delicious, Stayman Winesap, Jonagold, Empire, Melrose, Ida Red, Keepsake, Royal Court, Crispin, Honeycrisp, Fuji and, in late October, Rome. What You Cannot Pick Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and peaches are not pick-your-own here. They are grown and sold, not picked. Good to Know There is no website, only a Facebook page. Phone 215-795-2475. Pro tip: a spray-free orchard means spotted skins and real flavour, and Keepsake and Melrose are two of the best-keeping apples ever bred. This is an orchard for people who care what the apple tastes like in January.

Glen Run Valley View Farm at Atglen is a small family farm in western Chester County that does two things and says so on its own masthead: "strawberries. pumpkins. pick-your own farm." What You Can Pick Strawberries - May to June Pumpkins - September to October What It Costs In the farm's own words: "No tickets or reservations are required. No entrance fee." Cash, local cheques, and cards or Google Pay and Apple Pay for a small fee. Good to Know Strawberry season is over and the farm is closed. It reopens on Friday 11 September for pumpkins. Run by the Jeff and Rhonda Stoltzfus family, a mile from the Octorara Area School District campus. Pro tip: this farm blogs its strawberry season as it happens, and posted "Strawberry ending week of June 15" on 14 June. That is a fortnight's notice from someone standing in the field, and it is more use than any calendar.

Prout's Jollyview Farm at Oley picks one thing and is honest about it: the farm "Opens May 24 (for Strawberries only)". What You Can Pick Strawberries, from 24 May. That is the whole list. What Else is Available A CSA with Thursday-only deliveries starting 28 May, a roadside stand, a strawberry festival, and party and wedding hire. Good to Know The farm defines its own growing practice plainly: "low or no chemicals, no sprays, nor any artificial fertilizing of our plants. This practice requires a lot of hand labor, which includes the planting of both established plants and seeds by hand, weeding by hand, and harvesting by hand." Email ProutsJollyviewCSA@gmail.com, phone 610-291-2369. There are three farm dogs: Gus, Lucy and Dolly. Pro tip: a farm that hand-weeds a strawberry patch rather than spraying it is doing something genuinely unusual and expensive. That is what you are paying for here, and it is worth asking about while you pick.

Walking Bird Farm at Galloway Township is 40 acres of vegetables, berries, flowers and herbs, and it is explicit about the thing that matters: "Market & Pick-Your-Own (Open to the Public)." What You Can Pick U-pick crops and u-cut flowers, plus berries and vegetables through the season. What Else is Available A farm store with home-grown seasonal vegetables plus locally sourced farm-raised meats, cheeses, eggs, honey and baked goods. There is an optional membership in the form of a "Buy Down" digital Market Card, which is a discount scheme rather than a gate. Good to Know The farm was formerly B&B Farms, taken over in 2020 by Jen and Ryan LaMonaca after ten years working alongside Ryan's uncle, a former New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture. It is now in its seventeenth growing season. The name is a nod to the killdeer that nests in the fields. Pro tip: the membership card is a discount, not a requirement, and the farm says "Open to the Public" in the same breath. Do not let the word membership put you off the way a CSA-only farm should.

Shenk's Berry Farm at Lititz publishes real prices, which almost nobody in this region does, and it keeps split hours: mornings and evenings, shut through the middle of the day. What You Can Pick Strawberries - $4.00 to $5.00 a quart Blueberries - $3.25 a pint or $6.50 a quart Red raspberries - $4.00 a pint or $7.50 a quart Black raspberries Good to Know The farm closed for the 2026 season on 14 July. It ran through mid-July on intermittent hours as the berries ran out. In season: weekday mornings 8am to noon and evenings 4:30pm to 8:30pm, Saturdays 8am to noon, closed Sunday. Pro tip: those split hours are not an inconvenience, they are the point. A berry picked at half past six in the evening is worth more than one picked at one o'clock in the sun, and this farm has organised its whole day around that.

Solebury Orchards at New Hope publishes the most precise picking calendar in this region, updates it weekly, and states its 2026 losses plainly: "Cherries โ No crop this year." What You Can Pick Blueberries - 25 June to 22 August Blackberries - through the summer Flowers - 8 July to 17 October Apples - from 20 August, beginning with the Sansa variety Cherries - no crop this year What It Costs In the orchard's own words: "All pick-your-own fruit is priced by the pound for whatever you pick." No gate fee, no bag deal, no bundle. Good to Know Open Thursday to Sunday, 9am to 6pm through the peak season. Wagon rides through the orchards run at weekends in September and October. Picking is open rain or shine. The cutting garden is waist high with dahlias and zinnias. Pro tip: this orchard rewrites its picking page every week with what is actually left in the field, right down to "we are down to the last few berries of the season". Read that page, not the calendar, the morning you go.

Styer Orchard at Langhorne runs free hayrides out to the orchard and is one of very few farms in this region that welcomes dogs. What You Can Pick Apples, peaches and pumpkins in their seasons. The orchard posts what is actually open on Facebook day by day. Good to Know The store opens 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday and 8am to 6pm Sunday. The picking fields keep separate hours. Free hayrides carry you out to the trees, and the orchard is dog friendly. Email styerorchard@yahoo.com. Pro tip: a free hayride to the rows sounds like a small thing until you have carried a toddler and a half-bushel bag across an orchard. It is the reason to choose this one with small children.

Tabora Farm and Orchard at Chalfont opens at seven in the morning, seven days a week, which is earlier than anything else in this region, and it is as well known for its bakery as its fields. What You Can Pick Blueberries - every day, 9am to 4pm, 1 July to 31 August Sunflowers - August Pears - the first weekend in September Apples - from mid September Pumpkins - October What You Cannot Pick This Year Cherries, peaches and plums are in the market only, with no u-pick this season. That is the April freeze, and Tabora is one of eight farms here reporting it. Good to Know The farm and bakery open 7am to 7pm every day. Blueberry picking is 9am to 4pm, seven hours shorter at both ends. For strawberries the farm points you at Wildemore Farm and asks you to ring for the schedule. Email Info@TaboraFarm.com. Pro tip: pick-your-own pears are genuinely rare and Tabora gives them a single named weekend. If pears are the thing, that first weekend in September is the entire opportunity.

Brumbaugh's Farm at Telford is a Bucks County berry and vegetable farm on County Line Road. What You Can Pick Strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, along with tomatoes, lettuce, onions, courgette and cucumbers. None of this is confirmed from the farm itself. Good to Know The farm's website could not be read. It returns a page title and nothing else. The directory records the farm as open daily from 9am and asks that you call for availability. Phone 215-723-3508. Pro tip: "please call for availability" on a strawberry farm means the patch is small enough to be picked out in a weekend. Ring on the Friday, not the Monday.

Frecon Farms at Boyertown is a Berks County orchard, bakery and cidery, and its own title describes it exactly: "Orchard, Bakery, UPick & Cidery in Pennsylvania". What You Can Pick Apples, pears, raspberries and pumpkins in their usual seasons, plus cherries and blueberries in summer. None of this is confirmed from the orchard itself. What Else is Available A bakery and a cidery. Good to Know The orchard's website could not be read. Every page we tried returned a page title and no content, and the u-pick, visit and pick-your-own URLs all return 404. We have not been able to confirm its hours, its crop dates or its prices. Phone 610-367-6200 before travelling. Pro tip: seven farms within an hour of here lost all or part of a crop to the April 2026 freeze. Ask what is actually on the trees rather than what is usually on them.

Hellerick's Adventure Farm at Doylestown has been farmed for 232 years and makes a claim worth quoting: drive north from Philadelphia City Hall on Route 611 for about an hour and "Hellerick's Adventure Farm is the FIRST Farm you can visit. All the other farms have been developed!!!" What You Can Pick U-pick crops for all ages, plus Sunflower Days, strawberries and peas from Mother's Day, and pumpkins in the autumn. What Else is Available A great deal, and most of it ticketed: Barnyard Mini Golf at $12.99, an Aerial Adventure for ages 7 and up, a silo climbing wall, a farm obstacle course, goat yoga, The Goat Experience, a summer concert series every Friday, and Glow Golf nightly from 8pm. Good to Know Open daily 10am to 9:30pm from 6 June to 7 September, and weekends only from 28 March to 31 May. Last admission is 9pm. Book before you go. Activities are sold individually with discounts for buying several on the same day, and the Fall Festival pre-sale runs until 7 September. Pro tip: this is an activity farm that also picks, not an orchard with a play area. Price up the day before you arrive, because the picking is the cheapest thing on the list and everything around it is not.

Maple Acres Farm Market at Plymouth Meeting is a working farm fifteen miles from centre city, and it keeps the longest day of any farm in this region: 8:30am to 7:30pm, every single day. What You Can Pick At the time of checking: cut-your-own zinnias and various other flowers. Strawberries in early summer. Good to Know Open every day, 8:30am to 7:30pm. The farm asks you to "Call us at 610-828-7395 to find out what is in season", which is the right instruction for a place this small. Email info@mapleacresfarmmarket.com, at 2656 Narcissa Road. Pro tip: eleven hours a day, seven days a week, twenty minutes from the city, is the most accessible picking in this region by a distance. If the cut flowers are on, this is a weekday-evening trip rather than a weekend expedition.

Milburn Orchards at Elkton is just over the Maryland line, an hour from Philadelphia, and it has lost two crops this year: "Check back summer 2027 for U-Pick Cherries & U-Pick Peaches." What You Can Pick Berries - in season, on the U-Pick Berry Adventures Apples - autumn Cherries and peaches - not until 2027 What Else is Available The BIG BackYard, a farm market, and The Deck for food, open 10:30am to 5pm Tuesday to Saturday and to 4pm Sunday. Good to Know Picking runs Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday only, and the hours change by crop. The market is open Tuesday to Saturday 8am to 6pm and Sunday 9am to 5pm. "We are closed on Mondays." Last admission to the BIG BackYard is an hour before closing. Pro tip: three picking days a week is the tightest window of any farm this size in the region. Wednesday is the one to use, because Saturday and Sunday at a farm with a play park attached are a different experience entirely.

Brecknock Orchard at Mohnton opens at eight in the morning and runs to seven at night four days a week, which is the longest picking day in this part of the region. What You Can Pick Apples Raspberries - red, black and yellow Blueberries Good to Know April to October: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 8am to 7pm; Wednesday and Saturday 8am to 5pm; closed Sunday. November to March opens an hour later at 9am and closes at 6pm. A new farm market building is under construction. At 390 Orchard Road. Phone 717-445-5704. Pro tip: yellow raspberries are the surprise here. They are a genuine golden-fruited variety, sweeter and less acidic than red, and hardly any farm grows them for picking.

Bear Berries at Browns Mills publishes its prices more clearly than any farm in this region, and has opened 14 acres of blueberry fields for more than ten summers. What You Can Pick Blueberries. That is the whole list, across several named varieties. What It Costs $5.00 non-refundable entry fee $2.50 per pound Good to Know Open 7am to 7pm, including 4 July. Opening day is around 20 June and the farm announces it on Facebook. Two rules worth knowing before you set off: "We Do Not Have Pre-Picked Berries." You pick or you leave empty-handed. "Bring Your Own Take Home Containers." The farm gives you a can to pick into, not to take away. Pro tip: a seven o'clock opening in a Pine Barrens blueberry field is the best hour of the day for it. The berries are cool, the sand has not started radiating heat, and you will have the rows to yourself until nine.

DiMeo Farms at Hammonton is a 110-year-old regenerative family blueberry farm in the Pine Barrens, and it does not do walk-ins: "OPEN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY during the summer months of June, July and August." What You Can Pick Organic, non-GMO heirloom blueberries. Nothing else. What It Costs $2.50 a pint. In the farm's own words: "No entrance fees. No admission fees. Cash only." What Else is Available Rather a lot, for a blueberry farm: nature trails, kayaking on the creek, swimming, pilates and forest bathing, with fully shaded picnic areas in the Pinelands nature preserve. And, in its own words, "relaxing blueberry picking music". Good to Know Open 10am to 5pm, by appointment. Ring (609) 561-5905 to book, same-day appointments available. Pet friendly. Cash only. Pro tip: appointment-only picking on a 110-year-old farm means you will not be sharing the rows with a coach party. Ring the morning you want to go rather than planning a fortnight ahead.

Shady Brook Farm at Yardley stays open until ten at night from Wednesday to Saturday, which nothing else in this region does, and it gives away the picking pass on weekdays. What You Can Pick At the time of checking: flowers, tomatoes, aubergine and sweet and hot peppers, all marked open. Strawberries, blueberries, peaches, apples and pumpkins run through the rest of the year. What It Costs Free picking pass Wednesday to Friday. What you pick is charged on top. What Else is Available A market and garden centre, the Farmer's Kitchen, Stone's Throw Pub and Uncle Dave's Ice Cream, the last two closed Mondays and Tuesdays and open until 10pm Wednesday to Saturday. Good to Know Picking is 9am to 3:30pm, Wednesday to Sunday, which is six and a half hours shorter than the market. Do not read the late closing time as a late picking time. Pro tip: the free weekday pass is the whole trick here. A Wednesday morning costs nothing to walk into and the fields are empty; a Saturday is neither.

Springdale Farm Market is, in its own words, "Cherry Hill's last working farm", growing and selling on Springdale Road since 1949. What You Can Pick Strawberries in spring and pumpkins in autumn, neither of which we could confirm from the farm itself. What Else is Available Produce, a bakery, a plant yard, gifts, and parties and hayrides. Good to Know The farm's own website does not describe pick-your-own. It sells produce, runs events and lists Jersey Fresh corn, tomatoes and blueberries in the market. The picking comes from a directory rather than from the farm. Phone (856) 424-8674 and ask before you travel. The farm notes it "has been in the local news a lot recently" and has published a statement about its commitment to Cherry Hill, which suggests its future is under discussion. Pro tip: a working farm inside a township of seventy thousand people is a genuinely unusual thing to visit, whatever is or is not pickable. Go for the place as much as the produce.

Linvilla Orchards at Media is 300 acres thirty minutes south of Philadelphia, and it charges nothing to walk in: "Complimentary parking and admission to the grounds." What You Can Pick At the time of checking: beefsteak tomatoes, bicolor corn, Fredonia grapes, sunflowers and zinnias, all open 8am to 4pm. Across the year: strawberries in June, blueberries in July, peaches in August, apples in September, pumpkins in October. What Else is Available Barnyard animals, the Playland Playground, fishing at Orchard Lake, the Harvest Grill, the Linvilla Cafe, the Ship Bottom Beer Garden, and the seasonal Pumpkinland and Christmasland. Good to Know Open 8am to 6pm every day. Picking closes at 4pm, two hours before the grounds. The farm has published a message titled "Navigating the Impact of the April Freeze", so its 2026 tree fruit should be checked before you rely on it. Pro tip: Fredonia is a slip-skin American grape, closer to a Concord than to anything in a supermarket, and almost nobody lets the public pick it. It is the most interesting thing in the field right now.

Weaver's Orchard at Morgantown picks twelve different fruits across five months, from Memorial Day strawberries to late October apples. Nothing else in this region comes close to that range. What You Can Pick In the orchard's own list: red and black raspberries, sweet and tart cherries, blueberries, blackberries, plums, peaches, nectarines, apples, pears, pumpkins, kiwiberries and sunflowers, with strawberries opening the season. What Else is Available A year-round farm market, Kim's Cafรฉ with espresso, a bakery, a deli with catering, and a garden centre. Good to Know The 2026 season has been difficult. In the orchard's own words: "After April's frost, we had to get creative with new events and specialty items." Twelve crops is the normal year, not necessarily this one. Phone 610-856-7300, at 40 Fruit Lane. Pro tip: kiwiberries are the reason to mark this orchard down for September. They are grape-sized kiwis you eat skin and all, they ripen for about three weeks, and almost nowhere in America lets the public pick them.

Clement Farm at Pemberton is the youngest farm in this region, established in 2021, and it picks blueberries in the Pine Barrens under the slogan "Let's Grow Memories". What You Can Pick Blueberries. What Else is Available A shop, event hire and a venue. Good to Know Closed for the season at the time of checking. At 200 Magnolia Rd, Pemberton. Email Clementblueberries@gmail.com, phone (609) 836-0099. Pro tip: a farm five years old in a district where the neighbours have been at it for six generations is worth a look for exactly that reason. New plantings, young bushes, and someone still deciding what the place is going to be.

Specca Farms at Bordentown charges for one crop and not the others, and explains exactly why on its own FAQ page. What It Costs In the farm's own words: "For Strawberry Picking customers will need a Picking pass to enter the fields. These passes are $5 a person which you will pay as you enter the farm. For all other crops we do not require any payment until we weigh what you picked." What You Can Pick Strawberries in spring, then summer and autumn crops including vegetables and pumpkins. Which fields are open is marked with signs, and there is a chart at the scale house. Good to Know Open Thursday to Saturday 8:30am to 5:30pm and Sunday 9am to 5pm. The farm closes for dangerous weather or too much rain and posts that on Facebook. No reservations, in its own words: "The farm is open on a first-come first-serve basis." You may drive your own vehicle out to the field, and there are wagons for heavy orders. Email speccafarms@gmail.com. Pro tip: being able to drive to the row you are picking changes what is worth taking home. This is the farm to choose if you are filling boxes rather than a punnet.

Piney Hollow Farm at Williamstown is a Gloucester County blueberry grower on the western edge of the Pine Barrens. What You Can Pick Blueberries, in summer. The farm also sells already-picked fruit. Good to Know There is no website. No hours, no prices and no season dates are published. Phone (856) 629-5188 before travelling. Pro tip: Williamstown is the closest Pine Barrens blueberry country gets to Philadelphia, about forty minutes out. If Hammonton is too far for a weekday evening, this is the direction to look.

Duffield's Farm Market at Sewell is open year round, which almost nothing else in South Jersey manages, and it closes on Sundays, which almost everything in South Jersey does. What You Can Pick Strawberries in spring and pumpkins in autumn. The farm publishes a Crop Availability page split by season rather than a dated calendar. What Else is Available A bakery doing cakes, pies and doughnuts, a deli with salads and paninis and weekly specials, farm animals, an Apple and Food Truck Fest, family fun nights, story time on the farm, summer camp and field trips. Good to Know Open year round, Monday to Saturday 9am to 7pm. Closed Sundays. Email farmfresh1@duffieldsfarm.com, phone 856-589-7090, at 280 Chapel Heights Road. Pro tip: a seven o'clock close on a Friday in June is the latest strawberry picking in South Jersey. Everything else round here shuts at five.

Solly Brother's Farm at Warminster is a long-established Bucks County farm on Almshouse Road, best known locally for its breakfasts. What You Can Pick Strawberries, peaches and apples, along with peas, beans, tomatoes, peppers, aubergine, corn, squash, broccoli and cucumbers. None of this is confirmed from the farm itself. Good to Know The farm's website could not be read. It returns a page title and nothing else. The directory records a Strawberry Breakfast on the second Sunday in June, a Blueberry Breakfast on the second Sunday in July and a third in August. Phone 215-357-2850. Pro tip: a farm breakfast on a named Sunday is the sort of local institution that sells out weeks ahead. If you want that rather than the fruit, ring in May.

Wildemore Farm at Chalfont is the farm that Tabora Farm sends its strawberry pickers to, a few doors along Upper Stump Road. What You Can Pick Strawberries and blueberries, and the directory adds currants, gooseberries, peaches, plums, cherries, blackberries and apples. Good to Know There is no website. Tabora's own site says of strawberries: "Call for picking schedule (Wildemore Farms)", which is the clearest instruction available. Phone (215) 249-3683. Pro tip: currants and gooseberries are the interesting claim here. Both were effectively banned across much of the eastern United States for most of the twentieth century because they host white pine blister rust, and a farm still picking them is a small piece of horticultural history.

Cherry Hill Orchards at Lancaster describes itself as the largest pick-your-own fruit farm, farm market and garden centre in Lancaster County, growing over 100 varieties of fruit. What You Can Pick Sweet and pie cherries, strawberries, apricots, peaches and apples, across a hundred-plus varieties. The orchard sells three sizes of container so you need not bring your own. Good to Know The market and garden centre open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm, year round. Picking hours are a different thing entirely. In the orchard's own words, "Our pick-your-own hours change through the season", and it publishes a live calendar rather than a timetable. Read that before you go. At 400 Long Lane, where Route 324 meets Route 741. Pro tip: a hundred varieties on one farm means the answer to "what can I pick" changes every ten days from May to October. The calendar page is the only honest source and the orchard says so itself.

Highland Orchards at West Chester is one of eight farms in this region carrying a 2026 crop loss, and it says so in the gentlest possible way: "Our Farm Market will still have fresh peaches available for purchase, sourced from other trusted growers." Which means the orchard's own peaches are gone. What You Can Pick At the time of checking the farm reported "EXCELLENT PICKING" on Jonamac apples and sweet corn. Strawberries, blueberries and pumpkins run through the rest of the year. What Else is Available A farm market and bakery, open longer than the fields. Good to Know Picking is Tuesday to Sunday, 9am to 3pm. The market runs Tuesday to Friday 9am to 6pm and weekends 9am to 5pm. Both are closed Monday. Pro tip: a six-hour picking day that ends at three catches people out, because the market next to it is open three hours longer. If you want the fields rather than the shop, this is a morning trip.

Indian Orchards Farm at Media opens every day of the year, holidays included, and charges the second-cheapest admission in this region. What You Can Pick In the farm's own words: "Now picking: Blackberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, Yellow Squash, Zucchini, Eggplant, Peppers, Tomatoes, Herbs, Sunflowers, and Zinnias." What It Costs $3.50 per person daily, children under two free. What you pick is charged on top, by the pound or the pint. Cash, cards, Venmo and Zelle all accepted, which is unusually flexible for a farm this size. Good to Know Open 10am to 6pm daily. Five minutes from Media and twenty-five from Philadelphia, at 29 Copes Lane. Pro tip: $3.50 a head to walk into a working berry field twenty-five minutes from centre city is the best value in this region, and the every-single-day opening means you never have to plan around it.

Kauffman Orchards at Bird-in-Hand publishes the most complete dated crop calendar of any farm in this region, and its u-pick ticket buys more than fruit: "U-Pick purchase includes a wagon ride for your entire party" and a picnic. What You Can Pick Strawberries - from 30 May, while supplies last Red raspberries - mid June Sweet cherries - mid to late June Sour cherries - late June Black raspberries and thornless blackberries - late June into July Peaches and nectarines - July to August Elderberries - the first week of August Plums - August Apples - August to October Pears - August to September Cut flowers - July to October Pumpkins - September to October What Else is Available A picnic area, a petting zoo, a wildflower patch and a corn maze. Good to Know Containers are prepaid at check-in, and there are designated parking areas you are asked to use. The u-pick hotline is 717-768-0050. Pro tip: elderberries for one week in early August is the rarest thing on this list, and the wagon ride included in the picking price is the rarest thing about how it is sold. Most farms charge extra for both.

Manoff Market Gardens at New Hope explains what happened to this region in 2026 more clearly than any other farm, and it is worth reading in full: "In April of this year, the weather became abnormally hot for 2 days and people even put their air conditioners on to cope. Our fruit trees pushed into full blossom and when the temperature plummeted we were unable to protect them... this years extreme weather have caused a complete loss of our Peaches and a limited Apple crop." What You Can Pick Strawberries - early summer Blueberries - summer Blackberries - late summer Flowers - July and August Apples - a limited crop this year Peaches - none in 2026 What Else is Available A farm market and the Manoff Market Cidery, with a cider bar, a cider club and private event hire. Good to Know Open Monday and Tuesday 10am to 3pm, Wednesday to Saturday 10am to 5:30pm. Closed Sunday. Pro tip: the farm is normally known for its peaches, "typically available from mid-July until Labor Day". There are none this year, so come for the berries and the cider bar instead and put the peaches in the diary for 2027.

Meadow Spring Farm near Lititz is a Lancaster County berry grower, and it is the least certain listing in this region. What You Can Pick Blueberries and raspberries, neither confirmed. Good to Know There is no website, and the name on the ground does not quite match the name in the directory. Treat everything here as unverified and ring before travelling. Pro tip: Lancaster County is an hour and a half from Philadelphia and holds Cherry Hill, Kauffman and Shenk's, all of which publish far more than this. If you are making that drive, make it for one of those.

Mood's Farm Market at Mullica Hill lists twelve pick-your-own crops on its own front page, one after another, which no other farm in South Jersey does. What You Can Pick In the farm's own navigation, in order: sweet cherries, pie cherries, red raspberries, blueberries, sunflowers, plums, peaches, nectarines, blackberries, pears, grapes, apples and pumpkins.

On its growing practice, in its own words: not organic, but "we are very proud to use integrated crop management practices that have allowed us to avoid making pesticide applications directly to the blueberry bushes and/or fruit for the past 20+ years."
