The 14 sites run a gamut of agricultural activity from winemaking at Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard near Dickerson to the Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary in Poolesville that rescues abused and abandoned farm animals. Four sites – Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary, Evergreen Farm: Equine Therapy Associates in Poolesville, Camp Olympia in Rockville and Red Wiggler Community Farm in Germantown — are only open on Saturday. Some events may be delayed or canceled if it rains.
Butler’s Orchard in Germantown is one of several sites where people can buy fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers, plants and other farm products. Scheduled events listed at the sites include hayrides, pony rides, musical performances and craft demonstrations.
Evergreen Farm is a riding center that serves children and adults with mental and physical disabilities and also offers programs for those without disabilities.
