Where do you live?
We like Homestead Farms in Poolesville, MD. It is only about 35-40 minutes from my house in Arlington. |

| Butler's Orchard in MD. We went last year for Halloween and I seem to recall that it took about 40 minutes from NW DC. |

Second Butler's. They do a great Halloween festival with hayrides, pumkin picking etc. |

| We like Stribling Orchard in Markham, VA, off Route 66. It might be over an hours drive for you. |

Butlers has a great festival but only have 3 varieties of apples to pick...So you have you get there on the right time ( week) for that specific apple variety to be ready for picking. Cost to get in
Homestead has a million apples but the festival is not as good but beautiful landscape ( no charge for entrance.) |

| Stribling is great. Beware the raspberry patch however, the berries are delish but the bees not so nice. No bees in the apple orchard. |
