Category: Fruit

Ain’t summer just peachy? With spring coming to a close—and strawberry season along with it—it’s time to enjoy another beautiful summer at the orchard!

Pick Your Own

Everything we do at the orchard is dependent on Mother Nature. View today’s picking availability or stay tuned on our Facebook page for updates.

We are s-peach-less after trying the season’s first peaches. Come visit us for pick-your-own and ready-picked peaches!

Flowers & Veggies

The summer sun is working hard to bring our flowers to full bloom. Soon enough, our flowers and vegetables will be ready for harvest!


Summer Happenings

Come Grow with Us

Our educational children’s program takes place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the summer. Each session includes storytime, a take-home craft or cooking project, seasonal pick-your-own fruit or veggie, and a snack.

Get your tickets online in advance, as space is limited!

Meals on Wheels Fundraising

Last year, we donated tips from our Farm Market & Bakery to the Crozet Volunteer Fire Department as a heartfelt thank you for their service. This year, we’re collecting donations for the Charlottesville and Albemarle division of Meals on Wheels!

Help us support this essential community organization by donating in our tip jar.

Meanwhile, at Spring Valley Orchard

Cherry season has arrived! Our short and sweet season typically runs for a few weeks in June, so c’mon out to Afton while the picking is good. 

Spring Valley Orchard is currently open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM. We recommend visiting during the week. For updates on picking availability, visit the Spring Valley Orchard page.
