Another, more local tulip farm, Burnside in Haymarket, will be hosting their tulip festival starting this weekend. (Inside NoVa did a good newspaper article about them a few weeks ago.) Burnside Farms will be open from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. on the weekends, and they expect for peak bloom to be about the 22nd of April. Their Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/BurnsideFarms; I like that they take the time to respond to people's posts on their wall.

I'm not making any money from recommending these places, btw - just thought I'd share some cool finds. Happy tulip hunting!
I'm totally going to steal this info and put it on Dirtworks! :o)
ReplyDeleteWhich farm do you recommend for photography? I'm midway between the two....... Also, do you know if either have a sunrise or sunset view? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHmm! I'll have to let Tammy weigh in on Aroda - she went there last weekend and all I've heard so far about it was that it was on the small side. Burnside is not large, either, but I think the greater challenge Burnside presents is that the farm is bordered on one side by the Dominion Valley neighborhood and on another by the highway, so you have only a few angles available if you want a sweeping shot of the tulip fields without, like, McMansions in the background. I did get some very good shots of the field with their rustic farm buildings in the background. I was there Monday and will be posting about it soon - it's in full bloom right now, so if you do decide to go there, you'll want to make the trip in the next few days.
