Area farms offer a chance to take in the scenic beauty of Albemarle County, while getting a first hand look at the inner workings of agriculture. Many of the farms sell their products directly on site. Others offer tours that take you around the property. Family-run orchards around Charlottesville invite people to make memories among rows of strawberries, peaches, nectarines, cherries, apples and pumpkins throughout the year. In addition to the sweetness of fresh-picked fruit, Albemarle County's orchards offer ciders, preserves, candied fruit and other farm-fresh treats.
