Fruit Farm Update

 

We thank all who came to our you-pick, fruit farm during the 2012 season.  It is our hope that you had an enjoyable experience.  We appreciate that our customers were respectful of the farm and its operation.   The fruit areas were mostly left litter free compared to past years.  The honor system for payment had few concerns.  Thank you for the donated picking containers.

 

If all goes well, the farm will open by July 1 2013 -- the exact date to be announced later.  The orchard area was mostly covered during the storm surge from Hurricane Sandy with Chesapeake Bay water.  The clean-up continues with respect to the debris and people trash that washed in from the marsh and bay.  It will not be apparent until late Spring what salt-water damage may have occurred in the orchard.  The fruit available may be limited.

 

This will be our sixteenth season that the farm has been operated -- mostly as a community service. The price will remain the same.  All fruit will be 75¢ per pound. Also, the farm will be closed on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and then open on the following four days.  If you have any questions or comments, please call (757-442-7287) or email <fosterjg@esva.net>.   (1/5/13)

 

General Information

Our Mason Beach Fruit Farm is located on the Eastern Shore of Virginia adjacent to Chesapeake Bay waters being situated on Butcher creek.  Click here for an aerial photo (Highcamera.com) of our farm and surrounding area.  You will enjoy the beautiful park-like surroundings on the Bay side while picking your favorite fruit.  Please check out the local accommodations link below, especially for the towns of Harborton, Pungoteague, Wachapreague, Exmore and Onancock that are close to our farm.  For drinks or snacks, there is the Village General Store in Pungoteague.  The Harborton General Store just before Harborton at the intersection of 180W and Hacksneck Road is now closed.  The farm is accessible by small boat (less then ~18 feet in length) via the Harborton launch site (call or check map and tide schedule).  Also, a fruit gardener link to horticultural information available on the internet is provided for your reference.
