Six Places to Have a Pumpkin & Apple Picking Good Time Near DC

Did someone say cider doughnuts? Get ready for this fall tradition with corn mazes, hayrides and more! 
Picture
You can feel it in the air . . . fall is almost here!

It's absolutely my favorite season!  I LOVE the changing leaves, the return of pumpkin spice everything and the falling temperatures. I'm sooo over DC’s heat and humidity. I also have very fond memories of visiting my godfather in Michigan and picking pumpkins and crisp, delicious apples at a neighboring farm.
​

Luckily, you don’t have to go all the way to Michigan to experience this fabulous fall tradition. You can find plenty of pumpkins and apples at the always incredible Eastern Market or one of the many local farmers markets,  but there are many legit farms within driving distance where you can pick your own pumpkins and apples for a real-deal farm experience.

​Whether you're looking for a family-friendly experience with hayrides and other bells and whistles, or a no frills farm visit, you'll find the perfect one to visit from the six we've scouted. 

Did we forget your favorite? Let us know!
