Apple picking season is underway, running from late August to early November in Virginia. These are the best spots in Northern Virginia to pick your favorite varieties of apples.

Honeycrisp

While Hollin Farms in Delaplane offers a wide variety of produce, including many different types of apples, right now is the perfect time to get Honeycrisp apples because they ripen in late August. Get them while they’re still good.

Gala

If you're craving a Gala apple, check out Great Country Farms in Bluemont. The farm also grows Shizuka, Candy Crisp, and Honeycrisp apples if you’re looking to grab a couple of different types on your apple-picking journey.

Granny Smith

Head to Stribling Orchard in Markham if you’re in the market for Granny Smith apples. Take a look at their map to see where you can find the types of apples that they offer.

Pink Lady

Now is the time to head to Mackintosh Fruit Farm in Berryville to get your hands on Pink Lady apples. They do offer a limited quantity of their produce, so make sure to call ahead of time to ensure they have what you want.

Golden Delicious

Pick-your-own apples are available every day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Hartland Orchard in Markham, with varieties including Golden Delicious, Gala, and Honeycrisp.
