Here's our Tip Sheet on farms our readers like to visit. More details can be found in a story this morning by Lindsey Citron:

 --Granny likes Clark's Elioak Farm in Howard County, and so do my kids. The play equipment from Enchanted Forest is a plus, as is the petting farm.

--Kelly is a fan of Baugher's Orchard in Westminster, where you can pick apples on October weekends through the "third weekend in October or so," according to the web site. (It might be best to call ahead if you're set on apples.) There's also play equipment and a free petting zoo.

--We've got a map mashup of farms here. If you're in the city or the northern part of Baltimore County, the closest-in farms look to be Weber's and North Run Farm, which appears to have a huge corn maze. (Those things have always freaked me out, since my kids love to "hide" in them. But maybe that's just me.)
