Where to pick your own pumpkins, apples and flowers around DC - Washington Post
Saturday, October 17, 2015It’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you’d think Mark and Kate Zurschmeide really disliked pumpkins: At their farm’s Pumpkin Chunkin’ event (Nov. 1-3), outdated jack-o’-lanterns are dropped from a 40-footlift or hitched to a zip line to meet their fate.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.

Weddings of the Year: Four couples wed during the pandemic - BethesdaMagazine.com
Sunday, February 28, 2021Carly’s parents’ backyard in Potomac. Kevin and Carly began wedding planning before the pandemic. They hoped to invite 250 to 300 guests to stay at the Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, Virginia, for a weekend. But as the public health situation worsened, they held off on finalizing anything. In May, Carly’s company encouraged staff to take time off, so she and Kevin drove across the country to spend a month in Maryland. While here, they decided they wanted to get married and move to Maryland, so they extended their stay. Kevin’s family rented an RV to come from California for the wedding, which included 26 guests.Photo by Michael Bennett KressThe ceremony: Carly is Jewish, and Kevin is not religious. For the ceremony, “we wanted to keep some of the traditions but make sure they were explained and felt meaningful to us,” Carly says. Her rabbi officiated the wedding, and the couple wrote their own vows. The two wed beneath a chuppah, a canopy used in Jewish weddings. The chuppah was wooden and covered in string lights, leaves and white and purple flowers. The cloth for the chuppah was Carly’s grandfather’s tallit (Jewish prayer shawl). In Jewish weddings, it is traditional for a rabbi to say a blessing before the bride and groom drink wine from a Kiddush cup. Their parents each poured wine into a Kiddush cup that Carly and Kevin drank from—“to show the extensions of traditions and family,” Carly says.p... https://bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-magazine/january-february-2021/weddings-of-the-year-4/
