Well, it’s 97 degrees, but let’s talk flannel, pumpkin spiced lattes, and apple picking… because it’s September.

When the heat finally breaks and you actually want to be outside again, Virginia has some great farms to visit for apples, fruit, baked goods, flowers, and other goodies.

• Marker-Miller Orchards: Peaches, blackberries, apples, tomatoes and so many other goodies
• Crooked Run Orchard: Apples, peaches and some blackberries
• Stribling Orchard: Several varieties of apples and grass fed beef
• Mackintosh Fruit Farm: Apples, peaches, Asian pears, nectarines, veggies. Plus, they have cider donuts, baked goods, pies, local cheese, eggs and more.
• Hollin Farms: Apples, some veggies, dig your own potatoes
• Valley View Farm: Eggs, apples, pumpkins (in October)
• Great Country Farms: Apples, corn maze, farm play area, jumping pillow and more attractions. BONUS: This is across from Dirt Farm Brewery and Bluemont Vineyard, so if you’re looking for an adult treat after the kids play, just cross the street!

There are also closer in options like DePaul’s Urban Farm, the Vienna Farmers Market or Reston Farm Garden Market. (Check out their weekend Fall Fest)

More details on local fall festivals is coming soon… stay tuned!
