Want the best strawberries in town? Visit Cullipher’s Farm, Virginia Beach, VA

As a lifetime Virginia Beach resident and native, I have probably visited every roadside stand throughout Virginia Beach, Va. While I love them all for what they do and I highly recommend supporting our local farmers over buying through the grocery stores, I felt that a special recognition was due to one outstanding farming family in our community. "Cullipher's Farm" is the only truly organic farmer in Virginia Beach, Va., who uses a standard found in no other farm.


 

The Cullipher's tradition of growing some of the best produce around has been established over decades of farming. Known widely for serving up the best organic fresh fruits and vegetables in Virginia Beach, their farm is located just south of West Neck and Princess Anne Roads. Now into their sixth generation of farmers, this family has painstaking separated their farm from the rest, by staying true to offering the absolute best process in contemporary farming. Using "Integrated Pest Management" , a combination of minimum usage of pesticides based upon actual field sampling from pests found, the Cullipher's family farm not only sets a standard by which all farmers should follow, they also raise the bar for our expectation of freshness and quality in produce.


 

Since its strawberry season, I recommend you take a visit to their farm for some of the absolute best strawberries in town. They also supply to the local Virginia Beach Farmer's Market or you can pick your own. Visit their website to learn more about the seasonal fruits/vegetables, what's in season, how to order ahead, pick your own, and other information to help you get the best local produce throughout Tidewater.
