Catoctin Mountain Orchard has offered a variety of fruits since 1948, charging $3 for entry which includes a wagon ride, with many apple varieties available throughout the season.
Co-owner Robert Black suggests storing freshly picked apples in a clean plastic bag in the refrigerator to retain moisture and prevent dehydration, keeping them fresh longer.
Located at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the farm features a 12-acre play area, pumpkin-themed activities, fishing, and a bakery with pastries and coffee.
Visitors can enjoy discounts at the nearby vineyard and brewery, transforming a day of apple picking into an all-day autumn excursion filled with family-friendly attractions.
