JOHN’S FAVORITES MY PERSONAL BEST
1. GREAT COUNTRY FARMS It’s the season for picking pumpkins and enjoying a hot cup of apple cider. My pick for the best place to indulge in both is Great Country Farms, a 400-acre working farm situated at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Bluemont, Virginia. Make sure not to miss it! 2. DIRT FARM BREWERY After an afternoon of pumpkin and produce picking at Great Country Farms, stop by their pub, Dirt Farm Brewery. Enjoy a small batch, hand crafted beer from fresh ingredients grown at the farm. Their 10bbl brewhouse delivers traditional brewing style ales and many farm fresh seasonals. 3. NEMACOLIN WOODLANDS RESORT If Coolfont doesn’t tickle your fancy, my other pick for a great spa getaway weekend is at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, located in Farmington, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. The spa is not one to be missed! 4. CHARITY: DRESS FOR SUCCESS The mission of Dress for Success is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. They support and encourage, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that every woman who walks through their doors comes to thrive both in work and in life. That is why they are my pick for an amazing charity to support.
