A large, well-known 550-acre Eastern Panhandle farm whose own homepage says an April 2026 frost 'froze out' its pick-your-own crops for the year — call ahead, since it's genuinely unclear what, if anything, is open to pick this fall.
Orr’s Farm Market is a large, well-known 550-acre operation in the Eastern Panhandle Fruit Belt near Martinsburg, with its own bakery and a tram ride that normally carries visitors out to the pick-your-own orchard blocks. This year, though, the farm’s own homepage delivers a direct and sobering statement: a late-April 2026 frost “froze out our pick your own crops for 2026,” and the page goes on to describe alternative options being offered to season-pass holders as compensation. That’s about as clear a signal as a farm can give that this isn’t a normal season.
Here’s where this record gets genuinely complicated, and it’s worth explaining rather than glossing over: a separate subpage on the same website, dedicated specifically to pick-your-own apples, still displays what looks like pre-frost content — peck and half-bushel pricing, a month-by-month variety list, and a claim that picking is available six days a week. That page simply hasn’t been updated to reflect the homepage’s frost announcement, which means it cannot be trusted as current information. This is a case where the newer, more specific statement (the homepage’s frost notice) should be taken more seriously than the older, more detailed one (the PYO subpage), even though the subpage looks more informative at a glance.
In an unaffected year, the record lists Royal Red Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, Fuji, Gala, and Granny Smith as the apple varieties grown here, picked via a tram ride out to the orchard blocks. That’s a solid, recognizable lineup for the region, and it’s genuinely useful context for understanding what Orr’s is capable of offering — just not necessarily what’s available this particular fall.
Given the direct conflict between the homepage and the PYO subpage, this record can’t responsibly tell you whether any apple variety will be pickable at Orr’s this season, or whether the market is instead selling pre-picked or purchased apples through its bakery and store operations. The single most useful thing to do before planning a visit is to call 304-263-1168 and ask specifically: is any pick-your-own apple picking happening in 2026, and if not, is fruit still available for purchase at the market? That’s a more reliable path to an answer than trusting either page on the website in isolation.
Orr’s Farm Market is at 682 Orr Drive in Martinsburg, in Berkeley County’s Eastern Panhandle Fruit Belt. The coordinates on file are a Martinsburg town-center approximation rather than a geocode of the Orr Drive address.
Orr’s Farm Market is a real, large-scale orchard operation whose own homepage confirms significant frost damage to its 2026 pick-your-own crops — consistent with the broader pattern of Mid-Atlantic and Northeast apple losses this spring. Whether that leaves any apples pickable this fall is genuinely unclear from the site itself, since one page contradicts another. This is a farm to call before visiting, not one to show up at expecting a normal pick-your-own day.
Not confirmed for 2026 pick-your-own apples. The farm's own homepage describes the frost damage and season-pass-holder alternatives, but a separate subpage on the same site still shows pre-frost content that may no longer be current.
You're counting on pick-your-own apples specifically — the farm's own homepage states the April frost affected this year's pick-your-own crops, and it's unclear whether any apple varieties will be pickable this fall.
This is genuinely unclear. The farm's homepage states a late-April 2026 frost 'froze out our pick your own crops for 2026' and describes alternative options for season-pass holders. A separate PYO-apples subpage on the same site still shows pre-frost pricing and variety information that may be outdated.
Royal Red Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, Fuji, Gala, and Granny Smith are named in the record, based on the (possibly stale) PYO-apples subpage.
Yes — a tram ride out to the pick-your-own orchard blocks is a confirmed feature of the farm in a normal year, though whether it's running this season if PYO access is limited wasn't confirmed.
The farm's own homepage attributes it to a late-April 2026 frost, consistent with damage reported at other Eastern Panhandle and Mid-Atlantic orchards this season.
Not confirmed directly, but the farm's own bakery and market appear to be continuing operations, so pre-picked or purchased apples may still be available even if pick-your-own isn't — worth asking when you call.
