Situated in Caroline County, Snead's Asparagus Farm has a
reputation across the region for its spring asparagus, fall pumpkins
and Christmas trees. If you're looking to take the kids outdoors to
burn some energy this October, Sneads Asparagus Farm, 11 miles
outside of Fredericksburg, is the place.
Sneads is classified as a sustainable farm, which means a reduced
carbon footprint, and less water, chemical and fuel use. Sustainable
faming benefits the farmer, the community and the environment.
Sneads Asparagus Farm is a CSA, which stands for community-
supported agriculture. This farming model allows people within
the community to buy "shares" of a farm's harvest in advance. This
means families and individuals who join as members always have
access to the freshest foods and produce the farm offers. Sneads
offer two share sizes and multiple pickup options starting with its
signature asparagus in the springs and ending with its delicious
peaches!
Right now, you can take your kids to Snead's Asparagus Farm for
its annual 2020 Heirloom Pumpkin Picking. The farm will be open
daily from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. and admission is $9 per person on
weekdays and $12 per person on weekends (ages 2 and under are
free). Leashed pets are welcome.
Snead's is also practing COVID-19
safety protocol. This information can
be found on its website along with a
map of attractions.
