Frequently asked questions
What's in season right now in Virginia?
It changes week to week — the "at peak now" strip above reads today's date, so it never goes stale. For the classics: strawberries peak early May through late May; sweet corn peak early July through late July; apples peak mid-August through mid-October.
When does the market season start in Virginia?
It never quite stops — Virginia carries harvests through the winter months, which is exactly when some of its best produce peaks.
Where can I go u-pick in Virginia?
We chart timing, not farm listings — but the u-pick planner will tell you when any crop is worth the drive in Virginia, and any search for "u-pick near me" works better once you know the week to aim for.
