This place is filled with beautiful photo opportunities, amazing varieties of pumpkins and squash, bins of fresh apples of at least a dozen varieties, super friendly staff, and even a fun craft goods and clothing store tucked in the middle. There's fresh cider, apple butter, delicious fresh apple donuts, and lots of traditional fall goodies displayed in postcard-perfect scenes. We saw lots of families with adorable wagons with kids, holding their treasured pumpkins or produce of choice...just a perfect easy stop for fall fun and stunning colors, worth a trip for sure!

We came out for the annual tulip festival and had such a fantastic time. We tried visiting last…read moreyear, but an unexpected heat wave ended up killing all of the tulips on site. There is so much more than just tulip picking. My kids had such a blast enjoying the tulip-themed playground on site and the food trucks. There is also drink stands set up including non-alcoholic beverages along with beer and a cocktail tent. The service is efficient. They've clearly done this before and it's mostly staffed by friendly high school students. We were allowed to pick 5 tulips each, so for the four of us, we had 20 tulips. Upon leaving, staff will wrap up the tulips to ensure you picked the right amount. You can pick more but pay per stem. The young woman who helped wrap our flowers was very kind to our kids. She even helped them count all the flowers and papers, which was very sweet. It was a really fun day out. It sells out quickly, so advanced tickets are necessary.

I visited Burnside Farms for their Spring Festival, which seems to draw a pretty big crowd every…read moreyear. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to the hype for me. Admission for adults is $21, and what that gets you is essentially a tractor ride and the chance to pick five tulips. Beyond that, almost everything on the property is geared toward kids. Calling it a "spring festival" feels like a stretch -- there are no vendor tents, no adult-focused activities, and the only shopping option is their small farm store. They did have a few food trucks, but that was about it. For an event marketed as a festival, I expected more variety and more value for the price. Honestly, with how much of the experience is designed for children, I strongly feel kids' tickets should cost more than adult tickets, not the other way around. If Burnside Farms added vendor booths, adult-friendly activities, or anything else to make the experience feel more like a true festival, the $21 entry fee might make more sense. As it stands, this was a one-and-done visit for me. Great photo opps.

Majority of the people there on a beautiful Sunday afternoon were families with young children to pick pumpkins and go on rides. They at various times of the year also have sunflowers, strawberries and other items. It's a somewhat hidden gem in Nokesville, and a relief to go to a business that under-advertises and over-delivers with nice people and great products.

This spot has so many wonderful food stands. Upon walking in, you can pick up a cart to explore all of the stands. My kids love this place as much as me since you can find so much variety. Our first stop is the very busy Amish soft pretzel stand. My kids love the standard soft pretzel dipped in melted butter and topped with rock salt. My personal favorite are the stuffed soft pretzels like the pretzels stuffed with roast beef and cooper sharp cheddar. Nothing tastes better! There are also many other stands that offer fresh produce, meats, cheeses and baked goods. I particularly like Bieler's Donuts, the same place you'll find packed lines in Philadelphia right here. It's such a fun place and my kids love it. But most importantly, this is dad's spot!

In the most visually-exciting sequence of Director/Writer Jalmari Helander's 2025 film Sisu: Road…read moreto Revenge, three Soviet Ilyushin II-2 Shturmovik ground-attack planes attempt to bring down the KraZ-214 armored, military-transport truck driven by the hero who single-handedly turned the tide for the Finns in the earlier film and in the sequel, set in 1946. Using his wits, his ingenuity, and unparalleled levels of skill and perseverance, Aatami Korpi, who earns the moniker of "the man who cannot die," escapes not just bombs and machine gun fire but a plane deployed as a missile. And yet, the most moving moment of the film is not found in one of its many arresting action sequences but in a single line of dialogue, spoken by one of six Finnish men, who, along with one teenager and one boy, carrying hatchets, axes, and tools, interrupts the battle-finished Korpi's work on his new home to ask in Finnish, subtitled in English, "We thought you might need some help?" Speechless and shaking with relief and joy, Korpi watches the strangers get to work on his roof, walls, and foundation. That level of kindness, assistance, delight, joy, skill, and service can be seen in every vendor at the Dutch Country Market Thursdays through Saturdays at 9701 Fort Meade Rd in Laurel, MD. Whether it is homemade pretzels, pasta salads, chili, produce, meats, cheeses, popcorn, donuts, or varieties of dark chocolate, candy, or fudge you seek, you will find plenty to whet your appetite. Mind you, most, if not all, of everything contains zero preservatives. Our advice is to buy what you can enjoy soon or share your purchases with company before it's too late.

It's such a perfect Sunday morning activity. I'm especially excited for the produce to start coming back--this is easily one of the best places to get fresh fruits and veggies!
