Hanover tomatoes are the county’s best-known crop. They grow in the sandy soils of eastern Hanover, and in summer roadside stands sell them by the basket. Strawberries come in late spring, pumpkins and apples in the fall.
This section covers the farms, the farm stands and the markets, along with restaurants and breweries in Ashland and Mechanicsville. Seasons and opening days vary, so each guide notes when it was last checked.
