U-Picking at Lockbriar Farms; a summer treat!
Open seasonally on the Eastern Shore. Mark your calendars for Memorial Day Weekend celebrations through summer to prepping for Thanksgiving Feasts – from strawberries to sweet corn to pumpkins and apples… and everything in between!
U-Pick options are available for most small fruits, fresh herbs, and beautiful stem flowers. Lockbriar’s Red & White Tent opens with the debut of U-Pick Strawberries, providing our customers daily access to the freshest picks around all through the summer season. We blossom in spring, shine through summer and fade into fall, offering a beautiful assortment of pumpkins, the BEST local apples, fresh-pressed apple cider and endless autumn décor!
With no admission fee, we welcome all to experience true, authentic Maryland agriculture on a working family farm. As a multi-generational Eastern Shore of Maryland farming family, dating back to the Civil War era, the Lockwoods love sharing with our guests the importance of high-quality food, preservation of our natural landscape and knowing who your farmer is. It’s not business, it’s personal.
We reserve the right to close our fields without notice, as we see fit, due to: weather, ripeness stage, over-picking,
pest management, etc. We do not want anyone to leave disappointed and we appreciate your understanding!
