Memorial Day Memories like Strawberry Wine

in Eats, Travel

There’s great grilling and a powerful parade – but maybe you need a bit more to do over the long weekend?  May we suggest some local fun on the farm? 
Great Country Farms’ Strawberry Jubilee gets going May 29-31 in Loudoun County.  A true getaway that won’t cost much gas, GCF is just far enough away from the city.  Save your sanity in the strawberry fields… and you’ll get to pig out on Grandma Z’s famous Strawberry Shortcakes!! 
You’ll enjoy live music, hayrides to and DIY fun with u-pick strawberry fields. There’s a Diaper Derby for the tin tots, a Tart Toss for the awesomely aimed – or chukker challenged – and the traditional Bluemont Vineyard Strawberry Wine tasting.  Save some room for an extra slice during daily pie-eating contests!  
  
*Great Country Farms, 18780 Foggy Bottom Road, Bluemont, VA 20135
 Admission: $10/person, CSA Members, Fan of the Farm, military ID card holders & children Under 2 FREE
