Snead’s Farm is a sustainable family farm located about 11 miles from Fredericksburg, in Caroline County, Va. We are known for our spring asparagus, fall pumpkins and Christmas trees. We also offer the Snead’s Farm CSA, a chance to buy a “share” of our delicious produce, while supporting ours and other family farms in the Fredericksburg region.

We could go on and on with this “about us” page, but the essence of Snead’s Farm is best expressed by farmer Emmett Snead himself:

“Modern farming is the essence of sustainability—smaller carbon footprint, less water, fewer chemicals, less fuel.

I’ve been providing Fredericksburg-area families with local, sustainable fruits and vegetables at prices that reflect their true value since I started selling produce from my bicycle when I was 11.

The food that I sell you is the same food my family eats.”

– Emmett Snead

 

Photography

Professional photographers are welcome to conduct photo shoots on the farm when it is open to the public during daylight hours. Our fee is $20 per session/client. All photographers and subjects must arrive before 5 p.m. in order to pay admission and photography fee.

Please note that photographers and their subjects, along with anyone else helping with the shoot, will need to pay the applicable farm entry fee. 

Unfortunately, we have had some photographers abuse this policy, so if we have to chase you down to ask for payment, the fee will be $100 per photo client.
