About the Farm

Background

Located in Pennsylvania's Dutch Country, this farm has become a staple of the community, known for its wide variety of homegrown fruits and homemade products. Over the years, it has expanded its offerings to include a country market filled with fresh produce, deli items, groceries, and bulk foods. The farm also provides CSA memberships with convenient pickup locations, making it a beloved destination for both locals and visitors.

Practices

The farm emphasizes the importance of tree-ripened fruit, encouraging visitors to treat the trees with respect and care. They advocate for minimal waste by providing designated trash receptacles and ensuring that pets are kept on leashes and away from harvest areas. The farm's philosophy underscores the interconnectedness of nature and agriculture, urging visitors to appreciate the natural pace of the orchard while adhering to federal laws that protect the integrity of the harvest.

The Rest

Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities such as U-Pick fruit sessions, feeding farm animals, and even parking their RVs for an overnight stay. The farm offers a hotline for up-to-the-minute crop information and weather updates. Additionally, the market features a diverse array of PA Dutch and Amish-style foods, including fresh-ground nut butter, dried fruits, baking supplies, and local meats and cheeses. Special events like corn mazes and wildflower patch rambles add to the farm's charm, making it a delightful destination for families and food enthusiasts alike.
