Chesterfield Berry Farm

It feels like strawberry picking season came really early this year! I went to Chesterfield Berry Farm with my friends for Earth day. The farm is huge! Don't be fooled by your GPS, you will drive an additional 3-5 minutes to get to the strawberry picking portion. We timed it so we would arrive right when it opened. It was easy to find a place to park.They give you cute red buckets to put your strawberries in (you get to keep the bucket). We spent about 30 minutes picking strawberries. The berries they have here are HUGE! There were also a lot to choose from when we went. You are charged by how heavy your basket is. I'd highly recommend checking this farm out. It's a great place to bring little ones too.

I love strawberries!I've been coming to the berry farm, almost yearly, for a few years now. I love the fact that you get your basket there and you do not need to bring your own. It's 4.99 per pound, so not terrible! They take cash, cards, and I believe the young lady mentioned apple pay as well.

Coming from Mechanicsville, it was literally an hour drive for us one way, so we had to plan this trip so we all had the time to come. I stalked the social media pages to make sure there wasn't an unexpected closure due to weather or a shortage of strawberries. We got there right at opening and there was a special today for buy one bucket of pick your own strawberries, get one free. We were super excited that we came when there was such a good deal. All four of us got a bucket and went to picking. Without even getting into the fields, there were huge, ripe strawberries everywhere! If course, we had to taste a few on the way and oh my God they were the best I've ever tasted! They are so juicy! When we were there at 9, there was maybe one other car there, so it wasn't busy at all. I will say, it is of the beaten path quite a bit so at first it almost was eerie getting into the farm since we hadn't been there before. The added commentary referencing multiple horror movies didn't help the ambiance, especially after seeing some of the Halloween decor XD once we parked, everything was a breeze. They have us flyers for an upcoming festival at checkout which looks super fun. We will definitely make this a yearly thing now, if we don't end up coming back this year!!!!!

I've been searching for outdoor things to do with my very active 2.5 year old. We hit the jackpot with this place. It is so beautiful and there's so much to do. You get picked up on a tractor like vehicle and it takes you like 5 minutes away to the sunflower fields which is just beautiful. You get a free sunflower with the purchase of one adult ticket and kids get in free with the purchase of an adult ticket as well. There are several photo props throughout the field and a giant play area for kids that's located back at the main entrance. We got there within an hour of closing so we got free delicious sweet corn to take home.

The line was long to get in and moved slow.I personally think they charged to much for what you get and what they have, place looks terrible/trashy. Definitely needs better things to do and more seating through the place and some baby changing stations for all the kids in diapers. We decided to get a late lunch and the line was so slow, I'm sure from the young lady using a calculator to add tax and figure out how much change to give back, maybe two registers would've helped. The food was actually not bad, coleslaw could use some help though. Beans and bbq I thought were really good. Seating under the canopy was bad with allllll the flies and wasps. Couldn't enjoy our food because of that, worried my grandchild was gonna get stung. Maybe use some fans to help keep them away or traps. We didn't get any pumpkins or sunflowers but did go to get some pics in pumpkin field and looked picked through. In closing they need more or better activities for what they charged to get in and more seating and baby stations. Not sure if we will go back next year.

Fun times pumpkin picking. Great day out with the family. There was no cost of admission. You pay for what you want to do. If you want to get to the pumpkin patch you have to buy a hay ride down. There are a few activities for kids. Play area cost money to get into. There are animals to look at for free. There is a concession stand to get a bite to eat. Minor things I wasn't keen on. The bathrooms are port a potties. It is a farm. It was a little dirty which is expected. But there is garbage laying around that was a little gross. Most of the people that work there seemed like they didn't want to be there.

This is a great place for adults and kids. In the spring and summer, you can pick your own berries and in the falls, your own pumpkin. They also have trees for Christmas. As you can see from the photo of my nieces and nephew, the tough part is not eating all of your hard work before you get home!The farmers market sells whatever is in season, so some days you may find beans or tomatoes and some days squash. They have a "deal of the week" on one item.And, they have tons of plants so if you garden it's a worthwhile trip. If you truly want to eat "farm to table", this is a great destination.

This is by far my favorite farm to visit on a kindergarten pumpkin trip. The scenery and expansiveness alone are worth the price.

Classic, good clean fun for the family. Really wish the farmers market was available there.

Love it! This is awesome for the fall festival! Loved the maze, kids activities and the hay rides. We got pumpkins! They were a bit expensive, but admission was free for first responders. So, it was nice to be recognized! We will definitely return!!
