Going to a farm and picking fruit, flowers or other crops with your family is a great way to spend time outdoors and create some fun family memories! The spring through the fall is the best time to visit a u-pick farm or orchard, and there are plenty in Maryland to choose from.

Many of these farms have multiple u-pick crops. Use this key for additional info on what each farm has each season: A (apple), P (pumpkin), B (berry), F (flower) and T (Christmas tree). Some farms’ seasons may start earlier or end later depending on the year or crop.
