KEEP UP WITH BLUE BARN FARM

The 2024 growing season is upon us!  Our Pick-Your-Own crops include strawberries, red raspberries, blueberries and black raspberries.  Strawberries begin in early June, Red Raspberries mid-late June, Blueberries the very end of June and Black Raspberries follow a week after blueberries, the first week of July.

Picking times are early in the day, 8am - 11am and late in the day 5pm-8pm. Picking days depend on the availability of berries which is greatly determined by the weather, so we ask that you call ahead (240-357-4087), check our Facebook page or find the Facebook posts streamed  below.

While at the farm, stop in at our farm market located in the lower part of our barn.  Find what's ripe and ready!  Your selections may include lettuces, greens, radishes, broccoli, and green onions early in the season.  Tomatoes, squashes, peppers and eggplant are samplings of what you'll find later in the season.  Stop in, there's always something fresh and don't forget the sweet corn!  We grow the best sweet corn! Sweet corn is available beginning mid-July at our on-farm market and the Farmers Markets we attend. Call ahead for availability and freezing/canning corn orders.
