About This Farm
Gaver Farm at Mount Airy runs one of the biggest autumn operations in Maryland, and its picking is folded into it: "Fall Season: September 4 - November 1, 2026!"
What You Can Pick
- Apples - pick-your-own through the autumn season
- Pumpkins - picked in the field
What Else is Available
The Fall Fun Fest, a Sunflower Festival, free hayrides, a fall farm market, the Barn Bakery, concessions, and school field trips.
In winter: cut-your-own Christmas trees, a wreath shop and a Christmas café.
Good to Know
Tickets and reservations are booked online. The farm publishes a weather policy and a photography policy, both worth reading before you go.
Pro tip: the hayrides are free, which at a farm of this size is unusual and worth knowing. Almost everything else is a ticket.
