Bragunier Farms & Orchard

Our take

The short version

Bragunier Farms & Orchard appears in Maryland’s official “Buy Local” apple-grower directory with a Washington County address near Clear Spring, in the state’s western fruit belt. That state-level listing is a reasonably credible signal that this is a real, currently-recognized apple grower — but beyond the address and phone number, nothing about hours, pricing, or whether picking is offered to the public could be confirmed for this record.

Why the record stops at the basics

No working orchard website or Facebook page could be located during research for this record. That’s a meaningful gap: without either of those, there’s no way to check for a posted season schedule, pricing, or even simple photos of what a visit looks like. The absence of any web presence doesn’t necessarily mean the farm isn’t operating — plenty of small agricultural producers sell primarily through farmers markets, wholesale, or word of mouth rather than maintaining a site — but it does mean this record can’t tell you what to expect.

A Pennsylvania phone number for a Maryland address

One specific, slightly odd detail worth flagging: the phone number listed, 717-830-0770, carries a Pennsylvania area code despite the farm’s Clear Spring, Maryland address. That’s not necessarily suspicious — area codes near state lines in this part of the country don’t always match the state you’re standing in, and Clear Spring sits reasonably close to the Pennsylvania border — but it’s worth knowing before you dial, in case you assumed a Maryland number.

A possible second location, unconfirmed

The research notes mention a related listing, “Bragunier Orchard & Market,” a few miles away in Big Pool, which suggests the family may operate a separate retail outlet in addition to this orchard address. Neither location could be reached directly to confirm operating details, so this record treats the connection as a lead rather than a confirmed fact. If you’re trying to track down Bragunier apples, it may be worth asking whoever answers the phone whether there’s a market location with different hours than the orchard itself.

Included for regional coverage

This record exists mainly to document Washington County’s presence in Maryland’s western fruit belt, an area with a real history of orchard agriculture distinct from the Frederick County cluster (Catoctin Mountain, Pryor’s, Scenic View, Gaver Farm) covered elsewhere in this file. Its inclusion here shouldn’t be read as an endorsement of visitor readiness — it’s a documented, state-recognized grower whose current operating details for the public simply aren’t available.

What’s missing, and why it matters

Every practical detail a visitor needs — season dates, hours, u-pick availability, pricing, and apple varieties — is unconfirmed. This is one of the thinner entries in this file, on par with some of the least-documented Ellijay, Georgia orchards covered elsewhere. Treat this listing as a starting point for a phone call rather than a confirmed destination you can plan a trip around.

Getting there

Bragunier Farms & Orchard is at 12017 Boyd Rd in Clear Spring, Washington County, Maryland, in the Hagerstown Valley area of the state’s western fruit belt. The listed coordinates are a Clear Spring city-center fallback rather than a geocode of the specific address.

Bottom line

This is a state-directory listing more than a confirmed visitor destination. If you’re in the Hagerstown Valley area and curious, a call to 717-830-0770 is the only way to find out what a visit here would actually involve.
