Salem Berry Farm

“My family and I have been picking strawberries at Salem Berry Farm for the past 5 years. This little neighborhood farm never disappoints. We find the best strawberries here. The price is so affordable. I don't recall if they started nothing this in 2021 but they do not weigh the basket. They charge per the size of the basket. We even get really nice pictures here with the trees in the background. I really do love this field out of all the fields I have been to in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake. Here are some pictures of my over the past few years of picking here. For logistics. Parking is easy, you turn right on the farm and park in front of the field. You can see it from the road. There is one little red hut right when you enter. That is where you will pay for your baskets and strawberries. They are active on their Facebook page so they will post when their fields are open or closed. Have fun picking!”

“Very nice right-sized patch of field to pick strawberries! Very conveniently located near Kempsville and Chesapeake radius. Had my daughter's best friend visit for the weekend. We were at a Farmers market when she said she's sad she missed strawberry picking season. I said what!!!!??? Maybe where Northern Virginians have few and very very far away farms to go to! Berries were plentiful, staff is friendly. Strawberries were of good size!”

“We had such a great time picking strawberries for the first time with our child! 🍓 The strawberries were huge, super sweet, and way better than the ones from the grocery store. The owner was very friendly, and the prices were fair. 🧑‍🌾 We grabbed a bottle of their pure honey before we left—delicious! 🍯 So glad this farm is close by. Super convenient and such a fun experience. We’ll definitely be coming back! ⭐”

“I love this place. It’s the perfect spot and they have the best strawberries. They post on their FB page their hours based on weather or any updates. Always check that before going in! It’s one worker manning the register and trying to get pre picked strawberries ready so give them a break. The one star reviews one here are unfair! Definitely stop by and support them. They’re worth it! 🤍”

“Always great! The whole family enjoys walking up and picking strawberries. Crops in good condition and plentiful. The guy tending the quarts/baskets and payments when we were there was extremely kind. They also take cash and credit. Always helpful to know beforehand!”

“Lots of fun picking your own strawberries. I had never done it before and glad I got to experience it. If you are not going with kids, filling a basket won’t take you long. I think we were there about 20 minutes. Doesn’t cost a lot but does cost more than if you went to the grocery store and bought some. I felt these were WAY better than grocery store strawberries though and worth every penny. I did knock off a star though because the you g gentleman that was working on Mother’s Day when we went wasn’t all that kind. He seemed like he wanted to be anywhere else but there. Not friendly but you don’t have to interact with them too much.”

“Unfortunately it is by new construction, such an eye soar. It had a lot of trampled fruit, and weeds. It was actually pretty amazing for its location and the great tasting berries. Also, dut to being a fresh food establishment and hence, essential it was a great get out of the house tool. Would have been better with a petting zoo or animal feeding option. I support local small business though.”

“The owner was awful she told us not to park by the field house. & then she said to me don’t lean over the black line and she just was so rude I will never be going back! I have a disability & She was the picking police!”
