Braehead Farm is a family farm established 1937 in Fredericksburg, Virginia offering pick your own crops, a farm market with seasonal produce, eggs and honey, plus animals and family activities.
Braehead Farm is a working farm and market right in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where visitors pick their own crops through the seasons and shop the farm market for fresh produce and lunches from the farm kitchen.
School groups, day cares and homeschool families come year round for educational field trips that show children where food comes from.
There is plenty beyond the growing too. Family playgrounds and an animal rescue area give younger visitors unlimited same day play, and barns can be hired for weddings, birthday parties, reunions and corporate events. The farm is open every day, with slightly shorter hours in winter.

Great place for anyone with little ones who need a safe place to burn some energy. Enclosed free range play area with easy visibility across the entire area. Playground structures, picnic tables, corn play box, hay barn, big pile of dirt for the boys to play on, good shaded options, friendly and attentive staff. Small but great farm market store with jams, meats, ice cream and bakery goodies. Be prepared to use porta potties. Not as many animals as we thought, but that’s ok. I’d consider it more of an outdoor play experience in a lovely farm setting than an educational field trip—but that said, we didn’t do an organized tour. Great vibes all around!
The farm is ok, is been years since I've been there and it's much the same as it was when my son was little. My biggest complaint is that soon after arriving my daughter and I used a picnic bench which has wet paint??? There was no sign anywhere so I ruined my clothes, hers and our diaper bag. When I mentioned it they just kind of said oh yeah we were working on stuff over the last few days, I can try to get a sign up. There were also no facilities to attempt to clean up, only portable potties and a barn sink.
