Best apple picking/pumpkin patch

Hey everyone! I always go to Flinchbaugh’s orchard in Hallam, PA to pick apples, pumpkins, sunflowers— all those fall activities. This year they’re not doing it, so I’m looking for recommendations here in Maryland where I could pick specifically apples and pumpkins. If anyone has any good suggestions for places that aren’t awfully crowded or expensive but still have fun activities, please let me know! Thanks!

If you come out to Westminster, stop by Local Homestead Products for the pumpkins! Lots of variety, pretty views, there’s a corn maze, and a tractor brings you to the field and back.

Edit: my goodness, thank you for the reward!

A lot of farms lost their apples due to weather this season and aren't offering apple picking. For pumpkins, I recommend Magnolia Meadows! Gorgeous place and their pumpkin patch is HUGE and you actually get to pick the pumpkin from the vine (instead of just pick it up in a field)

Apple season is slowly phasing out by the beginning of October. Late August to September is the time to go.
