I am just not an apple pie kind of gal. I have been asked to bring one for thanksgiving.. where can I find a good one?? Help!

I know you are probably in the District, but Mom's Apple Pie Company in Herndon makes great pies. It is all they do. I don't know if they sell at any of the farmer's markets but you may want to call them. They are seriously good. Moms Apple Pie Co.

I second the Mom's recommendation, particularly if you get the crumb-topped versions, and Potomac Vegetable Farms on Route 7 carries the pies (assuming they're still open this late in the year.) Otherwise, they've got locations on Van Buren St. in Herndon, and on Sterling Blvd off Route 28, where the pies are actually made.

In the mail today, I recieved "The Consumer's Eye" local flyer. On the back there was an add for
Mom's Apple Pie Company in Occoquan. They have 30+ pies and claim to grown thier own ingredients on a farm in Loudon County.

Haven't tried the Mom's pumpkin pie, but both the apple and cherry are worth the money.

I have to confirm the Mom's Apple Pie Co. recommendations. I am acquaintences with one of the family members who own the business. Yes, they do grow their produce on their own farm near the river in Leesburg. Very nice family and great pies. The fruit pies get a great balance of sweet to tart. They were featured recently on the Food Network show with Paula Deen's sons. Can't say much about that TV show, but the pies are something special. And local is always a plus.
