We had hoped to have enough strawberries to open the field for Loudoun Spring Farm Tour weekend but we only see a few ready for picking this morning for those hearty souls willing to search for a quart or two. We open at 9am and the first hayride is at 9:15am on May 18th. Check back daily for updates to our u-pick fields as strawberries will ripen daily and will last about 4 weeks. We anticipate having the fields open in full swing on or around May 23, 2013 and expect peak conditions by May 25th for our Strawberry Jubilee and the last week of May.
We are OPEN daily from 9am to 6pm. Hayrides to the u-pick fields are at 9:15am - 5pm at the top of every hour and our 5 acre play area is open for your enjoyment.
From strawberries and asparagus in the spring to corn and tomatoes all summer then pumpkins and gourds in the fall, Great Country Farms offers a farm experience your whole family will enjoy.
