I love heading out to the farm and gathering produce with the kids. The slow pace and open space are a nice change from the hubbub and confines of the city.  It’s a fun, active way for little ones to see where their food comes from.  And then there’s the obvious: the enjoyment continues with a basketful of delicious hand-picked berries at home. Lucky for us, there are many farms within an easy drive from DC that offer pick-your-own opportunities.  And some of the host festivals to celebrate the fruit, to boot.  For a list of them, see this post about the 2012 strawberry season.
