Berry Farms Around DC?
Anyone know of a pick-your-own berry farm around DC? I went to one several years ago in Tappahannock, VA but am looking for something closer. Thanks!

As a kid, I worked at Darrow Brothers farm in Glenn Dale, MD, but that farm may have been made into subdivisions. There is a Homestead Farm in Poolesville, MD, out in Montgomery county.

This farm is close to Rt 70, about halfway between Columbia and Frederick:

I just got an email update from Butler's (previous post) that blackberries are ready to pick. See you there Wednesday?

Crooked Run Orchard in Purcellville, VA has been good for me in the past. Great blackberries.
