Braehead Farm in Fredericksburg. Goats, cows, bunnies horses and pigs along with chickens.

Pick your own pumpkin. Hay rides.
No donuts but they do have apple cider and kettle corn.

Butlers. The donuts were awesome and didn't have any line (unlike the other food options.) We didn't bother with the petting zoo this year since my kids already went on a school field trip, but it's always been there. I live near SS and it took us less than 1/2 hour on 270. Only thing is you have to get there early - when we were leaving at noon, there was about a 5 mile backup of cars waiting to go there.

+1. We were also there today and it has all 3. It is a GREAT place to go. So much to do but not overly crowded.

I took my 22 month old to Gaver Farm this weekend. It's free for kids under 2, 9 bucks on the weekend for adults. Well worth it! She had a blast--we stayed for 4 hours, there was that much to do.

Gaver farm in mt. Airy has all three. A little far a from Silver Spring, but fall fest is only $5 a person. Pumpkin patch and hayrides are free. Apple cider donuts and apple cider were pretty good. We had a great time-3 year old and 15 month old.

Not sure about the donuts, but Clark's Elioak Farm is great for little kids.

Donuts at cox farms are amazing. We went there with our toddler. Tons of animals to pet. No real patch though - but a big market and you get to wander around it and pick out a free pumpkin.

I haven't had luck finding the donuts, sadly. But we like Homestead. Not a ton of extra features, but nice simple farm fun.

Is there a place that has all three and would be enjoyed by toddlers? Preferably not more than an hour from Silver Spring.
