    Always forget how awesome this place is until we bring kids to pick fruit and see animals. Just a short drive out past darnestown lots of fresh produce in the farmers market as well. We did blackberry and nectarine picking the even the tractor ride to the field was fun and scenic. Will not sleep on this place for pumpkins this year and fresh cider and candy apples.

    Good spot for general farm related things. Not crazy busy and not empty usually. You are allowed to bring your own containers for picking which feels like nice normal option. Places for kids to jump on hay are always a hit.

    If you're looking to pick your own fruit in the NOVA area, you should check out Homestead Farm. We drove an hour to come here and it was totally worth it. No reservations or advance tickets needed. Admission is $4 per person and babies are free. You can also buy a bucket for $1. It's a bit of a hike to the blueberry bushes but they have big wheel barrels that you can cart your kids in. Blueberries were aplenty and they are sweet and juicy. Excellent pickings! There is also a farm area with animals like pigs, goats, and chickens. They also had alpacas or llamas, not sure which! There is also a market. We bought some pumpkin butter, chunky peach jam, and strawberry rhubarb preserves. Those run about $9 each, and they also have lots of pickled goods. Water for $1, soda for $2 and popsicles for $3. There are also a few produce items to buy. The staff here were so friendly and sweet! We will definitely be back to pick blackberries in mid July and peaches too. Easy parking and lots of port-a-potties. We spent about an hour here and had a lovely time. Family friendly and great activity to do with kids. It was pretty empty on a weekday afternoon!

    I was very surprised with Homestead Farm, and all the offerings for an extremely low price of three dollars per person entry fee. The farm is not too far from the DC area. The three dollar fee will get you in the door. What's included is; ability to see goats, chickens, alpacas, pigs, and other farm animals up close this includes a hayride. The hayride was about 15 minutes long and ran about 5 to 7 minutes per tractor. Kids and adults really enjoyed it. They were cute little photo opportunities all over the farm. The pumpkin picking section had ample space. And the staff was replacing pumpkins at a decent rate. There's a lot of selection on the quality of pumpkins looked very good. The cost per pound for a pumpkin was $.75. Another reason why we came here was that that Apple picking was still in season. There was a vast selection of apples available to Pick. The quality of the apples was excellent. we came for the pumpkin picking but stay for the apple picking. The staff was very friendly after he picked up about 60 pounds of pumpkins. we did not want to haul around the farm so we went back dropped off the pumpkins at the car and they let us back in. Here's an important tip: make sure you grab a cart from the parking lot and take it with you into the farm. It's gonna be very hard to carry more than one pumpkin in and around. The only criticism was they did not have apple cider donuts. Aside from that it was a perfect delightful day. I highly recommend this place it's small intimate and not as commercialized as the other farms, or the entry fee significantly higher other types of activities, such as a hayride cost an additional fee. We will be back next year. My fingers are crossed that they have apple cider donuts.
