Update from the Farm
Navigating This Season’s Challenges
After the hard freeze in April, Orr’s Farm Market—along with many farms across the Mid-Atlantic—experienced significant crop loss affecting tree fruits, cherries, and berries. As we adapt for the 2026 season, we’re deeply grateful for your support and encourage you to continue visiting local farms, markets, and events this year. Please watch to learn more.

How will the recent frost impact the CSA program this year?
Due to the frost and major loss on our farm this year, we are having to revamp our CSA program for the year. Our garden is still being planted so we’ll have a large amount of garden produce this season. However, I’m not sure the extent of what we’ll have for fruit due to the entire region losing so much of their peaches, apples, nectarines, pears, etc. For the CSA program, you’ll have a few options. We’ll be reaching out to you within the next week if you subscribed to a 2026 share with those options. Please check your email and reach out to us!

Are pets allowed?
We do not allow pets, due to our Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) food safety policy. However, any ADA service animals are permitted to be on the premises with their owners in accordance to ADA policy. This does not include Emotional Support Animals (ESA).
What if there is bad weather?
We will message you if we decide to close the picking patch areas. However, you can call us at 304-263-1168 to see if we’re open due to weather issues that day.
What is your thunderstorm policy?
We close the patches and outdoor operations if we hear thunder and we don’t let anyone in our outside activity areas until 30 minutes after the last sound of thunder to prevent the danger of lightning strikes.
Does rain affect the crops we pick?
Wet berries do mold more quickly so it’s best to work them up right away and get them into the refrigerator.
Since George S. Orr, Jr purchased the land in 1954, Orr’s has depended on extended family and close friends to help bring in the harvests. Without such a dedicated staff of employees our farm would not be what it is today. George S. Orr, Jr. would be proud of what the family has accomplished so far, but there are many goals still on the horizon.
