Where to Pick Your Own Apples and Pumpkins Near D.C. | Eater DC

"Apples and pumpkins are ripe for picking at this Montgomery County orchard this fall but its cows might be the star of the show. A small herd roams a pasture year-round, producing dairy for the on-site creamery’s milk and cheese production. During weekend fall festivities, visitors can watch as the cows are robotically milked and pet the calves. On the produce side of the operation, pumpkin picking is available through the end of October and apple picking through early November. Other weekend activities include a pumpkin cannon and 15-acre corn maze. Online reservations required. About 40 miles from D.C." - Emily Wishingrad
