About Linvilla Orchards
Linvilla Orchards began in 1914, when Arthur Linvill and his mother, Lydia, bought a Delaware County dairy farm with an octagonal barn; the first apple and peach trees went in the next year. The Linvill family still runs it, now a farm of roughly 300 acres about 30 minutes south of Philadelphia, with orchards, berry fields, up to 40,000 Christmas trees and hives kept by a local beekeeper.
Pick-your-own opens with strawberries in late May and cut-your-own peonies from late May to early June, followed by raspberries from late June to mid-July, seven varieties of blueberries, and peaches, plums, pears, sweet corn, tomatoes and flowers through the summer. A fall-bearing strawberry keeps going into mid-October. In 2026 tickets were $11 online or $13 at the gate, container included, with check-in at the pick-your-own shed on Linvill Road from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. An April 2026 freeze took about 90% of the apple crop, so fall weekends offered an orchard walk and pre-picked apples from partner farms instead of apple picking.
Parking and entry to the grounds are free. The farm market sells produce, cider and doughnuts, baked goods, dairy, eggs and homemade candy. From mid-September through October the farm runs Pumpkinland, corn and straw-bale mazes, daytime and evening hayrides and a beer garden, and other months bring strawberry, blueberry, sunflower and apple festivals, fishing at Orchard Lake, pony and train rides, and cut-your-own Christmas trees from late November.
Field & Flock Lavender Farm in Woodstown, New Jersey, is about 45 minutes south over the Commodore Barry Bridge and opens on summer weekends, so a June or July morning of berry picking here pairs well with an afternoon in the lavender.
