Comments from a visitor on June 17, 2010: "This is the best place ever! My family and I have always gone there to pick pumpkins,
however in the last year we have started taking advantage of all the other produce they have to offer. I had 4 boys with me (ages 6-8) and we
spent nearly 4 hours picking 12 lbs of cherries (ladders were provided and moved for us) 5 lbs of strawberries and 56 pea pods (cause the boys
just wanted to try fresh peas). There are tractor rides out to all the picking areas and boxes to use. We have also picked apples and peaches
there as well. Bring a hat, and though they provide water out in the fields bring you own water bottle. If you ask for directions-not to far
from the farm is the family restaurant that has wonderful local fare but save room for the pie! "
Comments from a visitor on September
19, 2009: "Picked apples today at Baughers Orchard and had a blast! Though there were a lot of people there, we had no trouble finding
parking and then took a tractor ride to the orchard. There are at least three different play sets for young kids (elementary and younger) on
the grounds, a petting zoo with a sink and soap for washing up after visiting the animals, and a country store with baked goods and ice cream.
And the pick-your-own apples are very reasonably priced. A great place to take the whole family! "

table grapes. Grapes were (in 2020) .99 per lb and they are sweet, juicy and delicious. We have u pick available and there will also be some
picked and ready for you to buy in the store. Available for only a short time, starting in mid to late July. Also open until 9pm for evening
maze walks October 29 - 31. Directions: off Route 5, 1 1/2 miles from intersection with Route 235, Mechanicsville. Haunted hayrides, offered
during the maze's evening hours, are $x. Picnic tables are available. They have apples, but I don't think the apples are pick-your-own (just the
greens and strawberries) (UPDATED: April
