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you’d think  Mark and Kate Zurschmeide really disliked pumpkins: At their farm’s Pumpkin Chunkin’ event (Nov. 1-3), outdated jack-o’-lanterns are dropped from a 40-footlift or hitched to a zip line to meet their fate.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.
