One of our favorite Autumn activities is the annual "Fall Farm Tours" held in nearby Loudoun (VA) and Frederick (MD) counties. Both will be held the weekend of October 15-16th this year.

Loudoun Farm Color Tour, includes farms and wineries
Family Festival @ The Farm, Frederick County, MD.

Fall in the Loudoun Valleys is beautiful. The colorful trees of the Blue Ridge, Short Hill and Sugarloaf Mountains set the stage for your self-guided tour of 14 farms (along with the Loudoun Heritage Farm Museum, the Loudoun County Master Gardeners, and the Loudoun Valley Sheep Producers Association), each offering their own unique experience of rural Loudoun. See cows and calves, horses, sheep, pigs, and other animals in their natural environments. Choose apples, pumpkins, flowers, herbs and mor from the bounty of the fall harvest. Tour a winery, talk to the proprietors about their grapes and wines, and learn why Loudoun's wines are winning awards and making news throughout the wine industry.
