| Never been. Where should we go and when? Is it too soon? We’d be taking a 4-year-old. Thanks! |

We like Hollins Farms in Delaplane b/c its not crazy busy like some other popular places, and they use natural practices (no pesticides).
They update their availability if each type daily: https://hollinfarms.com/current-available/ |

No, its not. Apple season started a few weeks ago. |

| OP which side of the city do you live on? |

Bethesda/Chevy Chase area. I feel like we slacked in previous years and then had some busy weekends and missed it. Trying to be sure we actually make it this year! |

| I like Homestead. Butler’s is too intense. |

| Butlers was pretty chill last Sunday morning. The actual apple picking is super fast so it's nice to have the big playground and slides afterwards. Maybe it depends on what time you go? |

We love Butler's Orchard. Green Meadows is nice for pumpkin picking. |

| Hartland in Virginia has always served us well and has good prices, but might be a little far… |

We love Hollin Farms! Pack a lunch and get some apple cider donuts while you're there! We usually take our kids in early-to-mid September. |
