GreenCactus Posted May 11, 2014 Report Posted May 11, 2014 Memorial Day Run to Great Country Farms Meet at Caribou Coffee (42385 Ryan Road Ashburn, VA 20148) at 9:30am and head to Great Country Farms. We'll miss the Strawberry Festival, but we should still be able to pick strawberries, if we want. Otherwise there are plenty of other things to do at the farm. The restaurant on site may not be open, so plan to bring a picnic. We will leave Caribou by 10am and the drive to the farm is about an hour. What to bring: $10/person ($8 for kids) for admission to the farm; two-way radios. Children 2 years and under, Active Duty and Retired Military ID card holders, CSA members and Fan of the Farm Season Pass holders, are free of charge. The Bluemont Vineyard is across the street, if anyone is interested in wine tasting. I have not checked recently, but in the past, the road to get to the winery was pretty rough. Cricket was ok, but I would be very, very careful. Please note, the parking lot at the farm is gravel (small gravel, not too bad) and grass. *In the event of inclement weather this event will be CANCELLED* I will post here by 8:30am on Monday if the weather looks bad.

cmcveay Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 Craig and I are thinking about meeting the group out there. The location is pet friendly and they have two off leash areas for dogs. We are planning on loading the boys up in Homer and meeting the group at the farm. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

GreenCactus Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Posted May 25, 2014 A picnic is our best option. The on site restaurant isn't that good and I don't think it's open tomorrow.
FAST060 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 I better take a break from not studying to get 'vittles' for a picnic! :rock: https://www.instagram.com/smokiendabandit/ 2009 MCS, HzB/B, CWP, PP, "BLUR" MOTORING ID: SOAR143 - MINI Community Service 2013 JCW GP, Thunder Grey, "SMOKIE" MOTORING ID: FAST060 2014 MCS Clubman, Highclass Gray, "THE ADMIRAL"
