The Chiles family is proud to welcome you to our newest location for Pick Your Own Cherries!
Owned by the same family as Carter Mountain Orchard and Chiles
Peach Orchard, Spring Valley Orchard is nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Located in western Albemarle County, near Batesville and Afton, the orchard is open for about 6 weeks each summer with beautiful Pick Your Own Sweet Cherries. The season generally runs from early June through mid-July – Mother Nature determines the actual dates each year.
UPDATE: As of Wednesday, June 24th, Spring Valley will be closed for the season, as there are no more cherries. The season was quite short this year, as a freeze back in April took a lot of the fruit. The rainy weather in early June came at a critical time for the remaining cherries, and made for an abbreviated season. Many thanks for your patronage and support, and look for us again next June!
