About This Farm
Shlagel Farms at Waldorf has been feeding southern Maryland for over a hundred years, and it puts one instruction above everything else on its own front page:
"Picking is Day to Day. Refer to Facebook."
What You Can Pick
- Strawberries - the farm's speciality
- Blackberries
- Pumpkins - at Fall Fun
What Else is Available
An on-farm market, meats, and a presence at local farmers' markets.
Good to Know
Check Facebook the morning you go. The farm says so itself, twice.
Pro tip: "day to day" on a strawberry farm means the patch gets picked out and reopens as it ripens. A farm that tells you this is being straight with you; one that publishes fixed dates in May is guessing.
