| Rain looks likely this weekend but i'm hoping for some moments of dryness! I have two older preschoolers and would like to take them to a farm to pick fruits this weekend -- have never been in this area. I'm in MoCo but open to going in VA too. Recs pls! |

| Isn't it too early to pick anything? It's only middle of May. |

| It’s too early, and more so with the cool weather so far. |

| In Maryland, Larriland (http://www.pickyourown.com/) is great, but isn't open yet for the season -- they will open in late May for strawberries. |

| There will be some strawberries but waiting a couple weeks would be good. Everything is quite behind this year. |

You’re kidding, right? Well, no berries for you. |

It's too early. Wait until the first week of June. In MoCo, I'd pick Homestead over Butler. Butler is more of a corporation feel whereas homestead still has that family farm feel. |

Yeah, that's a good place and in Waldorf. Tip: always check their Facebook page for updates on conditions and what's available. https://www.facebook.com/Shlagelfarms/ |
