Over the years, we've done apple, strawberry, and blueberry picking here, but the fall pumpkin festival is the best. There are tons of activities for the little ones - hayrides, a corn maze, farm animals, and more. Tubby's BBQ is on-site if you need lunch. The line can be long, but it moves quickly. It is on the pricier side, but well worth it. The farm is beautiful, the experience is fun, and it's a wonderful way to get the kids outdoors.

Although the Apple selections were few, we did gather some pink lady apples, which were a huge hit! Sadly, the Gala apples were not doing well this season so we didn't get to pick any of those. They have a great place to order some fresh cider and yummy apple cider donuts. Food is also sold there and I heard that it's delicious. Note that the entry fee does not cover your cost to pick apples so prepare to spend around $60 total. Overall, this place was great and I cannot wait to return!

I was in love immediately with all the freshness and deliciousness that I've come to appreciate from several locations around the DMV. What a fabulous business. Fresh produce. Cooked and fresh meats. Jarred and baked goods of all sorts - and furniture. Like I love to say, you gain 5 lb just walking around a Dutch market.

One of the great features of the market are the multiple stores under one roof - King's fried chicken, Lapp's candy and pretzel store, the Dutch Family Restaurant serving breakfast and brunch in the rear, Beiler's donuts where you can find great last-minute bargains right before closing time, and a host of other vendors. The workers are friendly and polite - you can tell which ones are Amish based on their attire. The non-Amish girls wear English clothing, but they're just as friendly.

We've been patronizing Fox Hollow since it opened years ago. It's close to our home and might not…read morehave learned about it if we hadn't driven by often enroute to Damascus, MD. We buy meat here regularly, yet we have sampled baked and jarred goods as well as Christmas trees. It is a reliable place for quality foodstuffs. Though not as expansive as a grocery store, Fox Hollow specializes in small production unique items. See photos for examples. Lamb is our favorite selection here as Fox Hollow has won numerous awards for it. Parking is free but can be tight on weekends. Hours are reasonable but recommend calling in advance to ensure they are open. as a family business, there are times they are out back dealing with the animals or garden. Compared to discount chains, prices tend to be higher, yet not as high as the boutique butchers elsewhere in Montco. We like supporting a local family business offering the kind of products and atmosphere that is hard to experience otherwise. some may call it "Olde Time" yet I prefer to think it will be the preferred future for many of us. Agree? How Stephanie can remember our names, address, and preferences is a magical power we definitely appreciate. Enjoy!

They have really competitive pricing and have a bigger selection of goodies than other stores. The produce section always has fresh diverse options.

Lots of self check out spots and check stands that are actually staffed with people. It's a calm chill place which is nice and not chaotic like going to Walmart or Aldi. Definitely prefer shopping here when I can. Would recommend this place.

They had a great selection of apples which were very reachable due to the apple catchers they provided. The apples were in great condition and delicious. The orchard was very organized and had multiple rows for each type of apples. The orchard offered Pink Lady, Fuji, Joy, Shizuika, Galrina, Wine Crispy, Enterprise, Granny Smith and Florina Querina apples. The offered 3 different sizes of bags for apple picking that ranged from small to large. They also had cider which was delicious. They also offered cider cocktails which were very flavorful. The orchard was a short distance from Gaithersburg, and it was right next to Butlers Orchard. They had typical grass/dirt parking. The orchard employees were very friendly and helpful. They were very knowledgeable about the apples and cider. The ambiance was great as the grounds were full of colorful trees and leaves. It was great fall day. I cannot wait to visit again next year. If you are local or visiting the area I 100% recommend visiting The Orchard at Doc Waters Cidery.
