I LOVE u-pick farms, so I stopped by Mount Pleasant Farms last week because the peaches and blackberries are ready for picking! My sister-in-law has been living here for quite some time and always misses out on the peaches because they are usually sold out by the time she arrives, but I think the trick is to go right when they open! I heard a lot of locals come early and pick them out fast!- Blackberries - The blackberry bushes are located in the back. There were quite a lot of berries to pick. These were actually really sweet and not tart at all. Be careful if you have little kids though, blackberry bushes are thorny! Scratched myself a few times. They sell the blackberry baskets for 75 cents or you can bring your own. I forgot how much it is per lb, but it's definitely more expensive than the grocery store, but I don't mind. You can't beat freshly picked fruit!PeachesI opted for the 1/4 peak bag as it is approximately 3lbs and since I already picked some blackberries, I kept it to a reasonable amount. They have the clingstone variety and oh my GERD, the aroma of these peaches are intoxicating! How else can I describe it but really peachy?! They were great when they were firm, had a nice crunch and still sweet. The best is when you leave them on the counter for another day or so and they ripen a little more. They are so delicious! The bags for the peaches are provided (I've attached a pic with the prices of each bag size). Note: they only allow certain lanes of trees to be picked for the day, so once they are picked out of that lane, they'll shut it down.Orchard StoreLike any market store, their store carries homemade goods like jams, butters, salsas etc. They also carry produce from farms nearby or nearby states. I also caught a glimpse of the Oberweis truck making a delivery so they carry some of their milk too. I bought some local corn (it's the white variety, sweet, but very starchy) and their homemade medium salsa verde (haven't had a chance to try this yet, but when I do, I'll report back).There is a large play area for the kids, equipped with wooden trains, sand area, tractor tires, giant Connect 4 and a little pen with a few goats in it, with a dispenser for their treats that you can purchase for a quarter.Also, it's conveniently located next to Bergey's (wonder if there is a relation), so it's nice to have somewhere to grab a bite to eat and get a treat after a morning of picking in the morning sun! Stay safe, Friends!

Don't know what's up with the two names it's also call Bergy's. A nice afternoon activity. You could easily spend up to 3 hours there. I took my grandson and we had the best time holding the piglets, goats and rabbits. We fed the sheep, goats and took a hayride with no hay around the property. It was great introducing my grandson to peace, tranquility and my life after retirement. There's a cost to get in, a separate price for the hayride and a cost for food for the animals, hey, parking is FREE... so be prepared. A nice place for a birthday party, school field trips, etc.There's a cafe/store on the premises so check out my review about what we ate

Just GO!For a few hours life seemed... NORMAL... well PRE COVID-19.We did wear a mask when we went in the store and paid for our buckets and bags since we wanted to pick peaches and strawberries.They had tires that kids were climbing on, a wooden train, a wooden tractor, goats, chickens, a sheep, and a horse.They had beautiful potted plants for sale out front as well.The cashier was super nice and let us know which way to head to start picking. He also gave us a few pointers to know the peaches will soften in a few days if you pick the harder ones.They had a bathroom inside available as well.No mask needed to pick, it was SO fun. I've never picked peaches so that was a lot of fun.The orchard was so big so everyone was practicing social distancing.The weather was amazing, no complaints.I highly reccomend giving here a try, I know their Facebook page was updated with what stock they had as well.They had pears and apples growing as well.

What a cute farm. This is my favorite to pick peaches.Easy to get to, Lots of easy parking and first thing you do is go into the beautiful store front. It looks like a big red barn. Nice and clean inside and fully stocked with all kinds of jars of goodies. My favorite to pick up pickled beans, pickled asparagus and jellies. They have fresh eggs and a wonderful selection of honey. They sells lots of odds and ends like a country store should.They also have a fantastic play yard. My husband even enjoyed it. They have huge tractor tires you can climb on. A train to play on and all kinds of neat country play ground stuff. They also have sweet farm animals you get to visit. They even have horse rides. My niece and nephew love visiting the farms animals.SO MANY PEACHES!!! It was a really hot day this time so I was so thankful lots of easy peaches to pick. No time at all we had our bags filled, trying not to drop a single peach as we headed back to our cars. It was yet another GREAT successful trip

Its been a while since I've updated my review. I LOVE this farm. This year we decided to try out their ten dollar trick or treating corn maze! I am so glad we did! It was perfect, safe, social distanced, educational and FUN! I would recommend this form or trick or treating next year to any parents who are looking for something fun and safe to do to celebrate Halloween fun! The maze took about thirty minutes, it was a good sized maze! At every corner there are signs with educational questions regarding farming. There were plenty of volunteers wearing masks handing out plenty of candy throughout the maze, this was my toddlers first experience trick or treating and Mount Pleasant Farms made it a magical experience for her! We enjoyed seeing the volunteers all dressed up! Also on the farm are plenty of animals: we enjoyed petting the friendly horses, donkey, and goats who seem to really love people. They have goat food for purchase so don't forget your quarters. They also had a smaller free toddler maze set up along with other apparatuses for children to play on.We love the inside of the farm store, we love the fresh produce they have, squash, apples and all sorts of other produce and sweets. We tried the cookies, yum! The bathroom is always clean here and staff is always so pleasant, we will return soon to purchase some honey!

I stopped by mid October with my 3.5 year old nanny kid on our way to Bergey's Breadbasket for lunch. This was an amazing little find! They have a great play area for kids (I think particularly geared towards younger kids), which was completely free on the weekday we stopped by. No signs indicated there being a charge for the play area but I am not sure about the hay rides... it did seem like they have a pumpkin patch you can get to via hay ride. The play area had some wooden structures of a train and a tractor to play on, a large tire tunnel to run around in, a big sandbox, and a corn pit! This kept my 3 year old entertained for easily a half hour alone. There is also a small "farm" area with a variety of animals, both big and small. The area is very clean and well kept. They had some beautiful flowers for sale on the porch, and inside you find a market with a variety of things: fresh eggs, baked goods, treats, jellies, etc. I'm not sure how busy they get on the weekends but this would for sure be my pumpkin patch pick for a relaxed fall fun experience, especially combined with lunch and more animals next door at Bergey's!

I've been here once for a pumpkin patch and once for u-pick strawberries. They have goats to pet and a machine to get feed for them. In the fall they have a fun corn maze with a quiz game to help you find your way and a wagon ride. I love the spring strawberry picking too. Check in inside the building and get your basket! Fresh, straight from the plant berries! You can't get much better than that. When you go inside the building they have lots of different goods for sale like meat, duck eggs, pie, milk, ice cream, butter, and candy! There are so many options!

Excellent! I have been to a lot of you-pick farms and this could be my favorite. We paid about $21 for a peck of you-pick peaches (about 12 pounds). You can buy a quarter peck, half peck, or full peck bag to fill. Quarter peck was about $6-7. Sure it's more than the grocery store but it's fresh, ripe, and it's about the experience. The peach orchard is huge, we walked for about 10 minutes and still didn't reach the end. We arrived right at 9am when they opened and there weren't many people, but even with lots of people there would be no problem social distancing. There's ladders placed through the orchard to help you reach the higher up peaches. There's a ton for the kids to do too - sand pit, toy train to play on, and lots of animals to see (goats, sheep, horses, donkey, and chickens). There's picnic benches (included ones covered with a shade tent) for you to sit and eat lunch. I'd say this farm is really well cared for. Even the grass is freshly cut throughout the animal area. I'm happy to bring my business back again!

We went during the day, it's more of a store. I googled places to pick apples and it came up. It looked like it would have a few things to do, so we drove an our out of our way on our trip from NC to Salisbury MD. Halloween weekend. They had a couple things for kids to do. No apple picking, nothing really for Adults other than just to shop for snacks in the little shop. The snacks were tasty, but I would not have driven an extra hour just to buy snacks! It said something about a corn maze, but I did not see one; maybe it's got more to do at night. I was disappointed because it was not what I was expecting from the webpage and what I google searched that made me go there in the first place.

We stopped by for fun while passing through from out of town. It's a great place if you've got kids especially in fall. There were lots of families there. Our time there was short because we don't have any kids but we still bought about $30 of treats like mini buckeyes, cookies, and sweet treats. They also had farm fresh eggs. We didn't buy any but it was good to see they had some if you're into that. I felt like the clerk was suspicious of us and I don't know why.
