    Default Favorite Pick-Your-Own Farm?

    It looks like with the warm weather most places have just opened for strawberries or will be soon. What is your favorite pick-your-own farm? I know Ridgefield is close, and Mackintosh is popular, and have also heard good things about Orr's. Any others that you like? We had a blast apple picking at Homestead Farm in Poolesville, MD last year, and it seemed cheaper than the rest, but I could be wrong and it is a bit farther out...

    Does my backyard or Wegman's count? :-)

    I like Orrs (it is pricier, but it's closer so you'll probably make it up in gas), Homestead, and there's a place off of Augustine that has pyo blueberries when they're in season. If you have kids, Marker Miller in Winchester is great when it opens.

    Great Country Farms in Bluemont is nice, a tad expensive, but there is a lot of things for the kids to do and just a come and hang out type place. I think that they have a website.

    We spent $0.00 at Orrs when we went. My 19 month old got a free little pumpkin and the hayride out to the pumpkin patch was also free. If any of us adults were picking it would have been $7 per person.

    Ridgefield is cheap to enter $5 to walk through the pumpkin patch and apple field, the hayride is pretty short, and the pumpkins are pricey too.

    I've heard Jumbo Pumpkin Farm is also good and is located in Frederick, MD.
