Shlagel Farms is a very diversified 3rd third generation working 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 bumper to bumper commuter traffic on US 301, you can listen to 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 pick your own strawberries & Greenhouse flowers and bedding plants. In the fall the farm offers mums and seasonal vegetables.

 

Pick-your-own and pre-picked strawberries are available. Greenhouses with hanging baskets, porch pots and bedding plants. The Shlagel's specialize in vegetable production selling wholesale to Washington area chain stores. 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. They open the farm to the public in spring so you may enjoy a day in the country relaxing with family and picking strawberries.
