A large, ticketed Loudoun County agritourism farm — splash pad, corn maze, jumping pillow — but the orchard's own site states plainly that apple picking is not available for the 2026 season because of an April freeze, with only a chance of limited late-season fruit.
General admission $10-$18 per person per visit, per the orchard's own site
Great Country Farms, on Foggy Bottom Road in Bluemont, is described in the record as a large, ticketed agritourism operation in Loudoun County, built around rotating u-pick crops — a splash pad, corn maze, jumping pillow, mini golf, tractor rides, and farm animals all appear as activities. That’s a broad, kid-focused lineup that goes well beyond a typical single-crop orchard. But the record’s most important fact for 2026 specifically is a direct statement from the orchard’s own site: apple picking is not available this season, because an April freeze destroyed much of the crop. The site does hold out hope for limited late-season apples, but frames that as a possibility rather than a promise.
This is a crop-loss disclosure rather than a business closure — the farm itself remains open and describes a full slate of non-apple activities. The freeze specifically affected the apple crop, and the site’s own wording treats even limited late-season apples as uncertain rather than confirmed. For anyone whose visit plan centers on apple picking specifically, that’s worth taking at face value: this isn’t a maybe-there-are-apples situation so much as a the-orchard-itself-says-there-likely-aren’t-apples situation, with a small chance of a partial exception later in the season.
General admission here runs $10 to $18 per person per visit, according to the orchard’s own site — a real cost, and one that applies regardless of what crops happen to be available that day given the farm’s ticketed structure. In a typical year, that admission presumably buys access to apple picking as one of several rotating crops alongside the splash pad, corn maze, and other attractions. In 2026, with apples off the table, that same admission price is buying access to everything except the crop most visitors might specifically be thinking of when they picture “apple orchard.” Worth weighing before paying to get in if apples are the main draw.
The activity list itself is substantial: a splash pad, corn maze, jumping pillow, mini golf, tractor rides, and farm animals. None of these are apple-specific, so they remain presumably unaffected by the frost damage described for the apple crop. For a family looking for a full day of farm-themed activities rather than apple picking specifically, this record suggests Great Country Farms still has plenty to offer this year, just not the apples.
No specific apple varieties are named anywhere in the record — unsurprising given the crop loss, but it also means there’s no way to know what, if anything, would be available in the “limited late-season” scenario the site mentions. No exact date is given for when or whether that late-season fruit might materialize.
Great Country Farms is a large, well-equipped Loudoun County agritourism destination that, in an ordinary year, would include apple picking as one of several rotating crops. But its own website states plainly that 2026 apple picking is off the table because of April freeze damage, with only a chance of limited late-season fruit. Given the $10-18 per-person admission fee, this is a farm best visited in 2026 for its broader activities — the splash pad, corn maze, jumping pillow, and mini golf — rather than for apple picking specifically.

No — this orchard sells pre-picked apples from its own trees rather than u-pick.
18780 Foggy Bottom Road, Bluemont, VA 20135, in Loudoun County. It is one of 5 orchards we track in Northern Virginia.
We track 5 orchards in Northern Virginia, 3 of which let you pick your own apples. At $10 to start this one sits right on the regional median of $10.
What sets it apart locally: it has a corn maze, a petting area, which most Northern Virginia orchards on our list do not.
One caveat worth repeating: this orchard had not published its 2026 dates when we last checked, while 1 of the 5 orchards we track in Northern Virginia had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as last year's until the orchard confirms it.
