A 40-acre diversified u-pick farm near Delaplane where apple picking begins in late August with Honeycrisp specifically called out as the season-opener, running through all of October — but hours and a full variety list aren't posted, so check the site's live 'Current Available' page before visiting.
Hollin Farms, on Snowden Road in Delaplane, is described in the record as a 40-acre diversified u-pick operation running from late May through October across multiple harvest seasons — meaning apples are just one part of a longer-running picking calendar rather than the farm’s sole focus. That context matters for understanding why the site is structured the way it is: with several crops cycling through over five months, a live status system makes more practical sense than a single fixed set of hours posted for the whole season.
The one specific, checkable detail in this record is that apple picking begins in late August with Honeycrisp as the opening variety, continuing “through all of October.” Honeycrisp typically ripens in the mid-season window at most Virginia orchards, so a late-August start here is on the earlier side for that variety specifically — useful information for anyone timing a visit around getting Honeycrisp as fresh and early as possible. Because the site describes this in general seasonal language rather than posting an exact 2026 date, this record estimates the start as August 24, but that’s a resolved approximation, not a quoted date from the site itself.
Unlike most orchards in this batch, Hollin Farms doesn’t appear to post standard operating hours in the pages read for this record. Instead, the site directs visitors to a separate “Current Available” page for real-time picking status. That’s a meaningful difference in how to use this listing: rather than showing up during a generic 9-to-5 window, a visitor here should check that live page shortly before heading out, since the record itself can’t say when the gates are actually open on any given day.
One detail in the record exists specifically to correct a mistake found elsewhere: an automated summary of the farm’s site mislabeled Delaplane as being in Loudoun County, when it’s actually in Fauquier County. This record uses the well-documented, correct location. It’s a small thing, but it matters for anyone trying to place this farm relative to others in the same research batch — Valley View Farm, also in Delaplane, is correctly located in Fauquier County as well.
Pasture-raised beef sales are listed as an activity, pointing to a farm that sells more than produce — useful for a visitor who wants to combine an apple-picking trip with picking up meat directly from the source. No pricing or availability detail is given for the beef in the record.
No full apple variety list is confirmed — only Honeycrisp is named specifically. No hours are posted, only a pointer to a live status page. No exact 2026 season dates are confirmed; the late-August start is an estimate from general wording. Address coordinates are shared with the nearby Valley View Farm listing rather than independently geocoded to Hollin Farms’ own address.
Hollin Farms offers a genuinely useful, specific detail — Honeycrisp as the confirmed season-opening variety, starting in late August — inside a farm that clearly runs picking as an ongoing, multi-crop operation through October. The trade-off is that this record can’t tell you what time to show up on any given day; that requires checking the site’s live “Current Available” page directly rather than relying on fixed hours.
The orchard's own site describes apple picking beginning 'in late August' with Honeycrisp first, continuing 'through all of October' — a general seasonal description resolved here to an estimated Aug 24-Oct 31 window, not an exact dated announcement.
you need confirmed hours before leaving — none are posted in the record, only a general season window.
