Virginia farming began with Native Americans who grew corn, beans, and squash throughout the state. European colonists at Jamestown started the first permanent English farming in America and discovered that Virginia's climate was perfect for tobacco. Virginia also became known for growing excellent apples in the Shenandoah Valley and for being the birthplace of American wine making. The state's varied geography allowed for diverse farming.
Virginia has several different farming regions from the mountains in the west to the coastal plain in the east. The Shenandoah Valley has rich soil and perfect climate for apples and other crops. The Piedmont region has rolling hills good for tobacco and grapes. The coastal plain has sandy soil and mild climate good for peanuts and other crops.
Virginia apples from the Shenandoah Valley are ready to pick from August through November when the mountain climate makes them crisp and flavorful. You can pick strawberries from May through June when Virginia's spring weather is perfect for berry growing. Wine grapes are ready to harvest in fall when many vineyards let visitors help with picking. The state also grows good peaches, cherries, and other fruits.
Fall is the best time to visit Virginia farms when apples are ripe and the Shenandoah Valley is at its most beautiful. Spring and early summer are great for strawberry picking and visiting farms when the weather is mild. Many farms are in scenic areas with mountain views or historic settings. Virginia farms often combine agriculture with wine making, offering tastings and tours.
