Shlagel Farms, in Waldorf, Maryland, is a third generation family farm operated by Russ & Eileen Shlagel and their five children. The farm is located on the northern edge of busy Waldorf, in Charles County, Maryland, just out of earshot of commuter traffic on US 301. You can hear the cows calling to each other and smell the sweet pungent aroma of ripening strawberries! The farm is open to the public in the spring for strawberry picking & greenhouse flowers and bedding plants. In the fall, the farm offers mums and seasonal vegetables.
Shlagel Farms specializes in vegetable production, selling wholesale to Washington, DC area stores and farmer's markets. They also raise quality hay for the pleasure horse trade, as well as field corn and soybeans to feed their herd of Angus beef cattle. The farm is open to the public in spring for visitors to enjoy a day in the country relaxing with family and picking strawberries.We welcome new vendor Shlagel Farms to Cheverly Community Market -- we are very pleased to help them bring fantastic produce to you this year! At our opening Market on May 30, make sure to stop by and welcome the Shlagels to our Market community. And pick up some of those luscious, gorgeous strawberries. (We'll post some fantastic recipes featuring strawberries this week, too!)
