Gardenhour Orchards

Gardenhour Orchards north of Smithsburg is one of six farms in this region naming the April 2026 freeze, and it is blunt about the scale:

"Produce is limited this year due to the April freeze. Unfortunately, many varieties of fruit did not produce."

What You Can Pick

Apples, blueberries and strawberries in a normal year. This year, in the orchard's own words, many varieties simply did not produce.

Good to Know

The orchard asks you to call (301) 824-7466 to hear what is available, and it means it: "For Pick Your Own Information, Call our number above!"

You can visit the packing house for fresh fruit and the views over the Blue Ridge.

No pets, which the orchard puts kindly: "We love your pets, they are cute and wonderful, but for their safety they are better to remain in your car."

Pro tip: "many varieties of fruit did not produce" is a grower telling you the truth rather than a marketing line. Ring, ask which varieties survived, and go when they say.
