Brookdale Farm | Our farm tagline

Welcome to Brookdale Farm!

We are now open for strawberry picking.

Go to our Facebook page for current info concerning daily hours and conditions.

Both fields, 2133 Mt Pleasant Rd Chesapeake and 2060 Vaughan Rd VABeach are open.

We have made some changes to picking this year. We are allowed to have picking within State guidelines. U-pick is considered part of food chain and therefore essential. Although that essential label can change. Keeping everyone healthy is the driving force behind the changes. We want to keep our fields open so compliance is necessary. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

We will NOT be weighing this year.
You may use our new buskets, our old buskets, or another farm’s buskets. Do not bring your bowls, baskets etc.

We will have pre-picks.

Safety is our priority. We are requiring, per CDC, that anyone 2 and up wear a mask.

Please wash your hands before coming. Needless to say, if you are sick or running a fever please stay home and recover.

There will be no eating in the field. It has always best to wash all fruits/vegetables before eating. If you or your child touches a berry please put it in your basket.

You will pick in assigned rows to maintain distance.

When you check out the clerks will see your buskets.

We will have a more limited jar product selection, big favorites will be there. Sample jars will be on display with stock being kept behind counter.

We encourage correct change and credit cards. We can accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

We have enjoyed having your family outings, that being said we must discourage lingering and photo opting. Children 2 and up must wear masks. All children must stay with their adults. Health and safety have always been a primary goal for us, this year especially. A state mandate is that farms control the number of folks in fields. We feel this is manageable with just folks picking what they need and leaving.

It is a very unusual and memorable year that has required a lot of adjustments for everyone. We hope that our changes allow you to pick while being safe.
