Welcome to Cullipher Farm, where a legacy of cultivation spans generations, shaping our rich history in Virginia Beach and Northeastern North Carolina.

We specialize in pick-your-own experiences, offering a unique opportunity to make a connection to many crops that have historical significance in our area. We pair those experiences with various seasonal activities & events.
