Where to pick your own pumpkins, apples and flowers around DC - Washington Post

It’s not uncommon to spot alpacas, llamas and goats walking around, but hands off those ­— this isn’t a petting zoo.Mackintosh Fruit Farm1608 Russell Road, Berryville, Va.; 540-955-6225, mackintoshfruitfarm.comCurrent Pickings: Apples, cucumbers, peppers, eggplant, squash, tomatoes and pumpkinsOwner Bill Mackintosh puts it best: “If you’re looking to gain a little weight, this is a great place to go.” The family-run farm sells fruit pies, soft-serve ice cream, Mexican food and cheesecakes. Luckily there are also dirt-path walking trails to work off those calories. In addition to squirrels and deer, you’re likely to spot wood carvings done by local artists. “You never know when you’ll see a scary face, a bear,” Macintosh says. “It’s pretty neat.”Great Country Farms18780 Foggy Bottom Road, Bluemont, Va.; 540-554-2073, greatcountryfarms.comCurrent Pickings: Apples and pumpkinsIf you didn’t know any better, you’d think  Mark and Kate Zurschmeide really disliked pumpkins: At their farm’s Pumpkin Chunkin’ event (Nov. 1-3), outdated jack-o’-lanterns are dropped from a 40-footlift or hitched to a zip line to meet their fate. (Leftovers are fed to the farm animals and the money raised goes to charity.) Other signs the Zurschmeides know how to have a good time: their small vineyard across the street (Bluemont Vineyard) and their brewery up the road (Dirt Farm Brewing). Stop by for a glass after your picking’s over. Says Kate: “Come withyour family, have a picnic at the farm, and go to the vineyard and brewery, where there’s things for kids to enjoy,” like grape soda on tap made from grapes grown on the farm.Marker-Miller Orchards3035 Cedar Creek Grade, Winchester, Va.; 540-662-1391, markermillerorchards.comCurrent Pickings: Pumpkins and 11 varieties of applesA funny thing happens when people visit this farm: They don’t want to leave. “People will pick their own and then ask, ‘Can we just walk around?’?“ says Heather McKay, manager and co-owner of Marker-Miller Orchards. “We give people a chance to unwind and be with their family for a little bit.” The 450-acre farm was founded in 1908 and is open from June through December. Kids can get their kicks on wagon rides around the farm, where they’ll spot cattle and pigs (no touching, please!) and row upon row of berries, peaches, apricots, pumpkins, tomatoes and many varieties of apples. A large farm market sells jams, jellies and just about any kind of pie you can imagine. On weekends, Marker-Miller has been known to sell more than 400 apple cider doughnuts made with just-pressed apple cider and rolled in cinnamon and sugar.

Flowering trees in full bloom - Westside Eagle Observer

DECATUR -- Spring has accelerated over the past two weeks, with several varieties of flowering trees in full bloom across Northwest Arkansas.At Crystal Lake, and throughout the wooded areas of Decatur, Gentry, Gravette and beyond, white dogwood trees are beginning to dot the hillsides with their beautiful white blossoms. Close cousins, the pink dogwoods are also beginning their blooming cycle.Different varieties of flowering trees, including the Japanese pear, with its white petals, will soon begin to bear fruit. The Asian or Japanese pear is a cross between pear and apple trees. The fruit looks more like an apple than a pear.Also scattered around Northwest Arkansas is an assortment of different types of apple and cherry trees, in full bloom with white and pink flowers showing off nature's beauty.Another tree with colorful blooms is the eastern redbud, the state tree of Oklahoma, with its reddish-violet flowers, showcased in downtown Decatur around the depot and log cabin area, as well as in many places in Gravette, Gentry and the surrounding area.Take a little time with the family to explore the beauty that spring... https://www.eagleobserver.com/news/2020/apr/01/flowering-trees-in-full-bloom-20200401/

Maker Space: Eden Garrett's idea blossomed - NWAOnline

There's no minimum or maximum -- it's whatever they happen to have in their pocket."After graduation, Garrett spent about a year in Springfield running the truck before deciding to move to Northwest Arkansas."I love Northwest Arkansas," she says. "There are so many opportunities for growth here. And because I work out of a truck, I can go from Fayetteville to Rogers to Springdale to Bentonville and all of those towns in between -- so I catch more people than just being in the middle of Springfield."Garrett says part of the process of becoming a successful business person was learning how to be flexible when business was in a slow period."I'm just motivated every day to push forward and make the sales higher each day -- even if it's really slow, even if, that day, no one wants flowers," she says. "I'll think, 'OK, what else can I do? Can I do deliveries? Can I announce on social media that all bouquets are $5 or that delivery is free on this particular day?' Each day, I'm going to make as much money as I can and provide an excellent product."She's also available for parties and weddings; one popular option for celebrations are the custom flower crowns partygoers can make inside the truck.Garrett says she's wanted to own a business since she was a child. Her first business idea -- a boutique that would serve as both a makeup salon as well as an event space, so you could get ready for a party right there at the site -- came to her when she was just 10 years old."My mom owned her own business, and I was just super fascinated by it," she says. "I've always known I didn't want to have a 9-to-5 job where I sit behind a desk all day -- that's just not who I am. I've always wanted to own my own business."It's clear that her youth isn't holding her back. Eden's Flower Truck was recognized at the 2019 Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce Excellence in Business Awards Ceremony, and she's opening up her first brick and mortar store called Eden's Botanicals this month. She says opening a storefront was in her five-year plan but, when she found a perfect location on North Steele Boulevard, her business instincts told her it was the right time to make a move."The storefront will mostly be for workshops and parties -- more of an event space," says Garrett, who adds that the mobile truck will still be used for floral sales. "We'll also sell flower gifts [in the store]. I'm super excited."Garrett is already looking towards the future and making plans -- big plans."I want to own some land, hopefully around the Fayetteville area, and have a mini-Magnolia Market, similar to [Fixer Upper stars] Chip and Joanna Gaines' business," she says. "I want there to be a few cottages, like an Airbnb, and then also have a spot to grow my own flowers so I don't have to buy them wholesale any more. And I would sell gifts and flowers and other merchandise and have it all be in one giant property, a destination that people from all over come to."If what she's accomplished so far is any indication, the goals of her 10-year plan may just be closer than she thinks..inline_item { float: left; display: inline; }div class="inline__bloc... https://www.nwaonline.com/news/2020/feb/13/maker-space-eden-garrett-s-idea-blossom/

HER | Local decorator helps get homes ready for holidays - Texarkana Gazette

We get to do a lot of natural decor in them," she said.For natural decor such as twigs, moss and dried flowers, Marie has a 35-year relationship with "The Nature Lady" in Mena, Arkansas. It is one of few suppliers she uses outside of the Dallas market.Marie Barfoot has lots of little friends around to brighten up the holidays. (PHOTO BY KATE STOW)Farmer's Bank in Texarkana is just one of the businesses Marie decorates this time of year. Others can be seen in Broken Bow, Idabel, Valiant and Hochatown."I've decorated several businesses in Southeast Oklahoma," Marie said, "including four banks, a phone company, some cell phone businesses and lodges at Beaver's Bend."But Oklahoma isn't as far as she is willing to go. "Every July I go to Dauphin Island, Alabama, where I have several clients. They get decor 'refreshers' each summer," she said. "When I go down there I also go deep-sea fishing for Red Snapper, so it's an annual vacation for me."When she isn't decorating for others, she and her husband Jerry reside on the Louisiana side of Caddo Lake where they enjoy entertaining. They are also very active at Trees Baptist Church. They have four children: Tony Campbell of Queen City, Dee Dee Wells and Misty Lutton of Atlanta, and Damon Donnell of Athens, Texas.Marie says she has never gotten too busy to take on more clients."I never turn anyone down," she said. "I just hire more people to do the work. We will do what it takes to make people happy." n... https://www.texarkanagazette.com/news/her/story/2019/dec/03/her-local-decorator-helps-get-homes-ready-holidays/806564/
