Contact & location
Where Black Rock Orchard is located
Black Rock Orchard sits within the Maryland apple belt, close enough to Lineboro for a quick drive and far enough out for open sky and orchard rows on the horizon.
There isn't a formal street address on file, so Lineboro, MD plus a call to the farm the day before is the safest bet.
Plan on making it a mini road trip. The surrounding Carroll County back roads are worth the detour in fall color, and Lineboro itself usually has a farmers market or cider stop within a few minutes of the orchard.

Best Time to Visit
Apple season at Black Rock Orchard tracks the rest of Maryland. Most fruit ripens between late August and late October. If you can only make one trip, late September through early October gives you the best odds of finding both early and mid-season apples on the trees at the same time.
Fall festival weekends can double the crowd overnight, so it's worth checking the orchard's social feed the day before you go. Off-festival weekdays are typically wide open.

- • A light jacket or flannel
- • Sunscreen and a hat
