Cute place in theory but the play structures need some major TLC. For $60 admission for a family of four I expect better upkeep. The food was decent, and a nice ambiance with the live music. The plums from the store were tasty but the blackberries lacked flavor. The cider donuts were absolutely delicious! All that being said our kids enjoyed the trip.

Great country farm! Conveniently located about 45 minutes from the Dulles Airport. As you drive through small quiet towns, large estates and several wineries, this place pops up from what appears nowhere. My first instinct was to turn around because it felt like we were trespassing onto someone’s farm but keep driving down the scraggly road and it will open up to a large parking area, with a friendly and welcoming “visitor’s center.” We visited on a Sunday, and although it was busy, it wasn’t crowded. There is an $8 admission fee, which lets you onto the grounds, which has all sorts of things to do. At this time of the year, they had pick your own peaches (several types such as donut and white), blackberries and sunflowers ($1 per stem). There is a little outside “café” that serves popcorn chicken, pizza, salads, and most importantly, very cold and refreshing sodas/water for what I consider an exorbitant price (check my pictures). We had to take a wagon-ride to get to the peach fields, which were vast and clearly marked as to where one could pick and where not to. They are clearly getting ready for the apple season as there were fields and fields full of apple trees heavy with fruit working its way to deliciousness. There are play activities for kids (and grownup kids), live music and the marketplace is full of conserves, fresh fruit and veggies, baked goods and so on. If you look at my pictures, you’ll get a better idea of prices and availability. Throughout the year, this farm offers “Pick Your Own” or PYO (as I’ve recently learned) of strawberries, peaches, cherries, blackberries, potatoes, apples and pumpkins. All in all, a nice place to go with or without kids… I had my “grownup” kid with me, and we had a great time. IMPORTANT TIPS: 1. Spray yourself with bug spray, you will be out in the fields and the likelihood of running into ticks is HIGH. I caught a fatty one travelling up my leg. Wear covered shoes, pants and cover your head to prevent tick bites. Check yourselves in the evening. 2. Wear sunscreen! 3. Bring water or something hydrating as it gets humid and hot.
