The 5 Best 'Pick Your Own' Places Around Frederick

Eager to pluck nature's bounty straight from the source and breathe in some farm-fresh air? Visit Frederick’s top orchards and fields, as voted on by locals in Best of the Best, The Frederick News-Post's annual readers’ choice awards. At local favorite Catoctin Mountain Orchard, shown above, nature's bounty stretches as far as the eye can see, offering a variety of fruits, including mother-watering apples, pears, peaches, plums and more. Be sure to stop by their bakery to sample the apple cider donuts. Over at Gaver Farm, family traditions blend with agricultural innovation, inviting guests to harvest memories alongside their crops. September and October are Fall Fun Fest season, with free hayrides and more than 60 attractions, including duck races! Next, stop off at Glade Link Farms, where you can pick your own fruits, vegetables and flowers.
