It's no secret that at this point I basically belong to the unofficial Hollabaugh Bros. fan club…read more I've reviewed every festival of theirs I've attended this year, and I certainly wasn't about to break the streak for the 36th Annual Peach Festival! Especially because, candidly, it had been a few weeks since my last Hollabaugh festival and I was starting to miss them. This year's Central PA peach crop took a hit from the weather, but Hollabaugh held their annual Peach Festival anyway, complete with peach desserts, samples, live music, vendors, food trucks, wagon rides, games and plenty more. The festival was free to attend with a $5 parking fee benefiting the organizations providing volunteers. I arrived around 1:00 p.m. Saturday and, as usual, everything was incredibly well organized. Helpful parking attendants got me situated quickly, and shuttles were available for anyone who needed some help getting from the parking area to the festival. I weirdly LOVE that Hollabaugh keeps the same general festival layout every time. The creature of habit in me appreciates knowing exactly where I'm going. I know where the samples are. I know where the baked goods are. I know where important business needs to happen. I started in the sample room, where a spicy peach BBQ sauce convinced me it needed to come home for a future dinner. Then it was time for my traditional baked goods counter visit, where I learned that apparently I have officially become a regular. I've developed a habit of buying three festival-themed sugar cakes at every Hollabaugh festival. They normally package six together, but the staff have always kindly split a package for me. This time, one of the women behind the counter RECOGNIZED ME and asked if I was there for my three peach sugar cakes. Umm...YES! I don't know whether to be proud or concerned that I've reached "the bakery staff knows my sugar cake order" status, but I'm choosing proud. While she packaged them, I also grabbed two of the largest carrots I've ever seen for that night's dinner and then headed outside for dessert. Normally, I get the festival-themed milkshake, but this time peach pie à la mode caught my attention. They offered vanilla or peach ice cream on top, but we're at the PEACH FESTIVAL. There was only one correct answer. PEACH ON PEACH. The peach ice cream was TREMENDOUS! Sometimes peach ice cream tastes vaguely fruity and you're supposed to trust everyone involved that peach was the intended flavor. Not this stuff. This tasted like PEACH. The pie underneath was equally fantastic, and I demonstrated impressive personal growth by NOT going back inside and buying an entire one. Please clap for my restraint. Of course, I still had to break into one of my peach sugar cakes. Fluffy, sweet and packed with chunks of peaches. Exactly what I hoped it would be. Tradition successfully maintained! I spent about an hour at the festival, but you could easily make an afternoon of the live music, vendors, food trucks and activities. That's one of the things Hollabaugh does so well. Come for an hour or settle in for the afternoon. Either way, there's plenty to see, eat and enjoy. And I'm realizing there are four things I can apparently count on every single time I come to a Hollabaugh festival. The staff are friendly. Always. The parking and event organization are easy. Always. The property is beautiful. Always. And at some point, I will put something in my mouth that makes me say, "OH MY GOD, THIS IS GOOD!" ALWAYS. Thank you, Hollabaugh Bros., for another fantastic festival and for continuing to create events that are about so much more than selling peaches, apples or baked goods. These festivals give people a reason to gather, support local businesses, try something new, enjoy some great food and spend an afternoon together on a beautiful Adams County farm. I'll obviously be back. At this point, somebody behind the bakery counter is probably already preparing my three sugar cakes.

We were greeted warmly by a young man and his siblings. He showed us around the produce stall that had various local items from peaches to corn and everything in between. Behind the stall were shelves of beautiful homemade pottery. He invited us to take a look inside their gallery as there were more items for sale in there, jams, tea, coffee and more pottery. The gallery was air conditioned so it was a nice break from the heat. We ended up purchasing corn, peaches, some jam and fair trade organic coffee. Everything we got was ripe and delicious. Can't wait to stop by again hopefully this fall to see what seasonal items they will have then!

We brought home some chocolate chip cookies for my mom, and they were a huge hit! For lunch, we split an Italian sub and an antipasto salad. Both were so fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Every bite tasted like quality ingredients and care. This is one of those places that feels like a wonderful local secret. Great food, friendly service, and so many tempting options.

And let us talk apples, the apples are freshly picked and sold, and they have so many different varieties and honestly, this is probably the best place to purchase your fruit and vegetables because everything is grown right there on acres and acres and acres of land. The building is very well organized, and all of the fruits and vegetables are well marked for what type they are in price and it's extremely clean and welcoming inside . The staff are extremely helpful if you have any questions on what the different fruits and vegetables are and what they would recommend for canning versus eating and etc. The location is extremely easy to get two minutes off of Route 15. We highly recommend stopping here. You will love it.
