"Pick your own apples in Maryland’s northern Catoctin Mountains on weekends through the end of October. You can also cut your own flowers in varieties like Zinnias, Celosia, Statice, Asters, and Sunflowers daily through the end of the month. But if your picking style is more suited to the aisles of a shop, the Farm Market (open through the end of the year) offers flowers, fruits, veggies, and an array of baked goods. Newly-launched applesauce and apple juice are made from Evercrisp and Goldrush varieties. About 70 miles from D.C." - Emily Wishingrad
