There are many "Pick Your Own" (or U-Pick, or PYO) farms in Northern Virginia, where you and the family can spend an afternoon picking what ever happens to be in season to your heart's content. Among the large varieties of fruits and vegetables available are: apples, apricots, beans, beets, blackberries, carrots, cherries, corn (sweet), cucumbers, eggplant, flowers, peas, peaches, peppers, pumpkins, raspberries (red), raspberries (Spring, red), raspberries (Autumn, red), summer squash, winter squash, strawberries, tomatoes, other vegetables, snacks and refreshment stand, restrooms, petting zoo, farm animals, birthday parties, school tours, and other events through out the seasons.
These beauties are ready to be picked! A pick your own customer reaches high into a peach tree to grab the best specimen. Pick your own is a great activity to do with the family and is quite rewarding in several different ways.

"Pick me, pick me!!" These peaches seem to beckon to passerby ... "Pick us! We're juicy, ripe, tasty and are loaded with vitamin C and fiber - your doctor would like you to eat us everyday - he told us so." Peaches are smart and docile.

Luke Jr.'s first exposure to the Peach Luke Jr. seems to be entranced by the color, texture and softness of one of Mother Nature's sweetest gifts: The peach tree. He seems to particularly enjoy the "peach fuzz" which is a treat for people of all ages.
