C – I love a good farmer’s market, particularly this time of year. Right now you can get all sorts of autumn goodies from apple cider to pumpkin bread. And the DC area, thankfully, has many markets to choose from. Here are a few of our favorites:

**Highlight: Open year round. Also, Black Rock Orchard’s irresistible apple cider.
