Great orchard to visit with kids: reasonably priced, well-organized, and well-designed, with knowledgeable staff -- what's not to love? For strawberry picking, you register ahead of time for a timed entry. It's $4 for each kid/adult over the age of two. You can pre-order the container you'd like. A half-flat resulted in us bringing home around 5 lbs of strawberries. You take a short open-air trolley to the strawberry field where you can pick to your heart's content. The strawberry plants were plentiful and the trolley came by every few minutes. Back at the farm, there's a little stand selling food with seating benches, an area for private birthday parties, a petting zoo with the cleanest animals I think I've ever seen (goats, pigs, sheep, a donkey), and a few cute little wooden/tractor-themed playground structures and slides to entertain the kiddos. We'll definitely be back for other fruit and pumpkins!

LOVE butlers orchard. they have events for kiddos throughout the year with lots of activities, food, + drinks (including alcohol)

Wanted to go apple picking with the fam and this was recommended. I made reservations online, which I later realized really isn't needed, as you can pay on site. Also, online they let you know what is best to pick at that time, which I found really helpful. Once inside, you drive your car to the respective location, pick up your bags and get to picking! We specifically went to pick apples and they had many to choose from. I also thought it would be awesome to pick some flowers, but I was less than thrilled about what was found. They have a petting farm for the kiddos, and a playground as well. The store was pretty cool, with varying items from fresh produce, to jarred items, and knick knacks. I can't wait to go back.

Awesome farm area filled with plenty of family fun activities. I went exploring to Butler's Farm during the Pumpkin Festival. There's a corn maze, petting zoo, playground, and much more. The multiple slides had my kid captives. The food was good, I grabbed an Italian sausage to snack on. We went to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin to take home. My favorite part of the trip was the apple orchard. The weather was perfect for picking apples and it's such a fun activity to do with children. The market was packed with plenty of produce and locally made items. Can't wait to return during Sunflower season.

Butler's Orchard knows what they are doing when it comes to fall activities. There were so many activities for kids! My toddler especially loved to feed the farm animals and jump on the hill top hops. They have some of your classic fall activities such as hayrides and a corn maze. In the fall they have both apple picking and pumpkin picking. During other seasons they have a variety of other produce to pick. I saw some signs for berry picking for example. For the adults they have cider in the back end on the grounds. It was $9 a glass, on the pricey end. I was a but disappointed they were out of half their ciders when I stopped by their stand. I still enjoy the cider I tried though. There are plenty of places to get food while you are there but you can bring in food if you want as well. If you are coming for the fall festival (this includes picking apples or pumpkins) buy your tickets in advance. They have a limit on how many people they let in. I'm glad they do though cus it was already packed so I can't imagine how crowded it would get if they left the gates open for everyone. On your way out make sure to stop at the marketplace they have lots of goodies to bring home! Highly recommend to anyone with children!

Very cute orchard with lots of fun family-friendly activities and good food. French fries with chili & cheese are da bomb. Italian sausage was also good, and apple cider donuts were delicious--warm, sweet, and actually pretty cheap. We thought the apple cider drink was rather too sweet though--it was thick and hot but kind of too sweet for us. The pumpkin picking patch was cute and had lots of pumpkins to pick from. Great cute spot for a date or a family outing with young kids. Quite spacious orchard (though admittedly, this was my first orchard visit in the DMV area, so I have no other places to compare with, but we were very satisfied with this place). Service was good everywhere, and parking was very easy.

I've been to Butler's Orchard three times -- 2016, 2021, and this year, and it's been a wonderful experience each time! We usually come here for apple picking, which is best done in September, however there were still plenty of good quality gala apples this year when we went on October 1st for the Pumpkin Festival. The Pumpkin Festival is always a huge hit, and there is just too much to do and it is so much fun! Make sure you bring food and water from home because lines for the food stands can get very long. My favorites are the apple cider donuts as well as the apple cider drink, which are absolutely fantastic. Parking is easy and free. The Pumpkin Festival is $15 a person if you buy it in advance online, plus a $1.50 fee for each ticket. I think they raised the price this year, but it felt worthwhile still because there was just so much to do. I think the best age for the Pumpkin Festival would be 2 to 6 years old. The corn maze and hayrides are a lot of fun, so don't miss that. Pumpkin and apple picking are in separate areas that you have to drive to, separate from the pumpkin festival. This has become an annual tradition for my family to visit Butler's Orchard ever since we moved to the DMV, and we love going each year! 5/5

The farm is vibrant and peaceful. Freshly picked blackberries taste amazing. Beautiful planting grounds, with flowers and farm animals to watch and feed as well. I highly recommend for anyone who loves picking fresh fruits and beautiful flowers. They also have a fun kiddie play area that the kids enjoy very much.

This is a popular spot so do plan ahead and get online reservations. I also recommend always coming here during the mornings. The afternoon is hot and it can get packed pretty quick. They have a lot of fields for picking. Check the calendar. I went here for strawberry picking and it was running low when I got here. When they realized there were no more strawberries, they directed everyone to another place to get on a tractor and into another field. I like the second one a lot more because of the views and the experience. The strawberries were not the star of the day. It was more so the experience of going out and doing something with friends. That's what this place offers. They have portable toilets here and a washing hand station and a place with farm animals. You can pet the goats. They are always pretty hungry. Your car should be okay driving around grass and rocks. It can get dusty too. They have a farmers market to buy some fruits and vegetables. But, the bread and butter is the pick your own.

I have been coming here for years. Do I like the entry fee? No, but I ended up getting a season pass. With the season pass, you get 10% off, and you don't need a reservation. I like the flexibility of going at the last minute. During this occasion, I was there to pick strawberries. It is only the start of the season. The website indicated it is good picking. It took me about an hour and half to pick a half flat. The strawberries were mostly small with the occasion of bigger ones. However, the strawberries were sweet and flavorful. I am sure I will be back for more strawberries within a week.
