Green Bean Picking in Maryland (2026)

Green Beans in Maryland typically run Jun through Sep, with peak picking in Jul–Aug. Cooler northern and higher-elevation farms tend to ripen a week or two later than the southern part of the state, so the Jul–Aug window is a middle estimate rather than a date to plan a single trip around.

This page lists 25 farms, stands and markets in Maryland that report green beans to the USDA — sorted A–Z, each with the crops it grows, its picking window and a map. 1 of them publishes opening hours that include today.

Most Maryland U-pick farms are walk-up, but popular ones sell out of ripe fruit on weekend mornings during Jul–Aug. Call ahead or check the farm's page for the day's picking conditions — many post a daily 'open / picked out' status of their own.

Many Maryland growers accept them. Farms and markets that take SNAP / EBT, WIC or Senior FMNP vouchers, or that accept cards, carry those tags on their listing — they come from the farm's own USDA record. For anything the record doesn't state, such as whether dogs are welcome, call ahead.
