“ We often visit Marker-Miller for a fun outing, fresh baked cinnamon donuts, and produce. We enjoy watching our grandchildren play and the general atmosphere. ”

“ I picked up an apple pie to contribute to our thanksgiving, and boy was I happy I did. Best. Apple. Pie. Ever. ”

“ Friendly people, small crowds, hay rides thru fields of pumpkins and a great market with fresh pies. ”

“ Marker-Miller is located in Virginia and quite far from any of the major DMV cities, so you would need to drive over. However its distance works to create a more relaxed atmosphere. To pick apples you would need your purchase either a small, medium or large bag for as low as $10. The small bag was sufficient to hold a good amount of apples for 2 people. There is a huge variety of apples varying from sweet to tart, red and green. The apples were good! The orchard was very easy to navigate. There was a market where you could also purchase apple cider, donuts, and a stand for some really tasty barbecue pulled pork sandwiches. This orchard is also very family friendly and there is an open field where families can eat, play some games, etc. there is also a lot of parking so nothing to worry about regardless of what time you choose to arrive. Definitely worth a nice family or friend's day trip. ”

“ Helpful staff and quality produce. The experience was wonderful, on weekends it's a family gathering. ”

“ Came here with a group on a beautiful Saturday. Lots of stuff at the market. Plenty of space for kids to play. Different apple varieties based on the time but plenty to walk around and choose from. It's nice the orchards are onsite and next to the market so everything is close. One of the better spots in the NoVa region to go apple picking. ”

“ STAFF: helpful, friendly and kind. Orchard: good variety of apples, excellent tasting apples. SHOP: good quality fresh produce, freshly baked treats including GLUTEN FREE options, fudge, ice cream, apple cider slushie, etc. GROUNDS: clean, well maintained, and perfect for every member of the family -- a nice playground for kids, adequate seating with tables for small & large groups, and adequately leveled and wide gravel paths leading to the orchard. OVERALL: reasonably-priced excellent place for friends and family to spend time together and enjoy picking apples and seasonable treats! ”

“ Such a perfect place for apple picking! Even though I've lived in Virginia for several years now, the fall season is so busy at work that I had never gone to one of the orchards before. When my coworker mentioned that she visits Marker-Miller Orchards with her family every year, I asked if I could come along for the ride! They had plenty of parking and clear signage. We waited in line for the bag stand to choose from one of three bag sizes for picking. I opted for the smallest bag, which worked out perfectly for my first trip. The rows of apples were clearly labeled. They also had an informational sheet to help you decide on the flavors of apples (sweet, tart). We selected several different varieties, enjoying the hunt for the perfect apples. My coworker's kids also had a blast in the play area. The whole orchard was very family friendly, and I think they even rent out wagons. After filling our bags, we got them checked and signed at the stand before loading up the car. From there, we headed into the large shop area. You can find every fresh apple product that you can think of! I got some fresh apple cider to go while enjoying an apple cider slushee. I also got a box of their fresh fudge. I was so lucky to snag a box of their apple cider donuts. (People were snatching them off the table as quickly as they came out from the back.) They were by far the best apple cider donuts I've ever eaten. The prices were all very reasonable for the amazing quality of their products. I'll definitely be coming back here next year. The orchard was excellent, and I enjoyed all the apples after my trip! ”

“ Marker-Miller is baked into our family's fall plans. We go there to pick apples, the cameos being a solid choice, yearly. It's a great way to get that dose of fall farm vibes you yearn for. For kids, there is a playground, tractor ride and room to roam. Inside there's tons of produce, baked goods, meat, eggs, salsas, pickles. I'm a big fan of their ham sandwich, which is simply salty ham on a bun, but it's a beautiful thing. Apple cider donuts are kind of a must. They make them fresh there. Some other things worth mentioning for people considering going: - They make kettle corn fresh outside in one of those big steel drum things. - On Saturdays, there's usually a barbecue stand dishing out meats. - A must do: Get a picture with the big apple! It's near the parking lot. - They sell imperfect produce at a discounted price, meaning you can get locally grown vegetables and fruits for cheap. - I'm not sure they grow pumpkins here but they do sell them. I don't know if I'm speaking out of school here, but I think they put the pumpkins in a field to give the pumpkin patch vibe but I don't think you can actually pick them from the vine. Not a critique, just something to consider. My recommendation: Go here for the outdoor fall activities but definitely eat. ”

“ This was a nice fun stop after being in the car a few hours. Sundays they don't open till 12 so plan to get there early to get parking. It was really windy yesterday but they have a cute kids park. No pets allowed in the store. They have U-pick or you can use the baskets in the market to pick out different varieties to fill your bucket up with. Must take home the apple cider donuts because they are delicious. Cute displays to take pictures with. ”
