Fall Fun at Cullipher Farm in Virginia Beach!

Cullipher Farm is an advertising partner of MyActiveChild.com.

In my opinion, nothing says Fall like apple picking and the pumpkin patch! This weekend you can pick apples, sunflowers, and pumpkins. Stock up on your healthy favorites and get the kids out into the orchards and fields for u-pick apples and u-pick carving pumpkins, this year at Cullipher Farm!

When: Cullipher Farm Market and the (Free) Children’s Play Area are open Tuesday-Sunday from 9am-6pm. U-pick days/times may change due to weather and availability – please check Facebook page for updates!

Cullipher Farm Play Area

Where: Cullipher Farm is located at 772 Princess Anne Road, Virginia Beach

What you need to know: You can find a post with the current picking conditions (updated daily) ON THIS LINK. Please confirm all information below before heading to the farm as the orchards/fields may close to allow for ripening or for poor weather conditions!

Rain/Inclement Weather Policy: The farm will remain open during rain showers, but reserve the right to close at any time due to deteriorating weather. Call/message if planning to pick even in a rain event to ensure they are open. The fields will close for any thunder/lightening event. The market will stay open.

Bonus: Don’t feel like picking your own? Stop by the onsite market and pick up a supply of pre-picked fruits and vegetables, including peaches, apples, grapes, tomatoes, corn, and more! Plus, don’t miss the grass-fed beef now available for purchase at the farm market.
