BY Blog Editor

Don’t wait until autumn to head to the farm for pick-your-own fruit – instead, head to one of the many farmstands in the city or one of the farms located right outside of Washington, D.C. for your very own blueberries, as July is the best time to get these delicious berries in our area. 

Take your blueberries home to your Wray kitchen and bake in blueberry pie, blueberry pancakes, blueberry scones and more. We promise – their journey from these farms will be worth the trip to your Wray apartment!

Almaala Farms, located at 1309 5th St NE, Washington, D.C. which is 16 minutes from your Wray apartment, has been a part of the Union Market since 1996, offering the freshest local produce like tomatoes, peaches, blueberries, okra and grapes. 

A minority-owned business, Almaala Farms sources from some of the best farms in the Washington, D.C. area to bring its city customers farm-fresh produce right to their doors. If you’re in a rush, you can also order your selections online here, which also include olive oil, local honey and homemade Middle Eastern specialties.

Butler’s Orchard, located at 22222 Davis Mill Rd, Germantown, MD which is 40 minutes from your Wray apartment, is a family-focused farm with pick-your-own patches, a kids’ play area and hayrides, plus a market and cafe.

Butler’s Orchard was opened by George and Shirley Butler, who started by purchasing a 37-acre farm with a log house, where the Butler family grew up. Initially, they grew 25 acres of peaches and sold them to a local grocery store and at their own small farm market. Now, they have more than 25 varieties of fruits, vegetables, flowers and trees on over 300 acres.
