I keep writing Yelp reviews for Hollabaugh Bros. And honestly... I don't think I'm ever going to…read morestop. Every festival I attend somehow becomes my new favorite, and this year's 71st Annual Blueberry Festival was no exception. I visited last year and had such a great time that coming back this summer wasn't even a question. In fact, I thought this year's festival felt even bigger, which was wonderful to see. Even with everything getting more expensive these days, Hollabaugh Bros. continues to put together an event that's affordable, welcoming and packed with things to do. I arrived about two hours before the festival wrapped up for the weekend and expected things might be winding down. Nope! The place was still buzzing with people enjoying one last taste of blueberry season! If you love blueberries...this event is your Super Bowl. Fresh blueberries. Pick-your-own blueberries. Blueberry baked goods. Blueberry milkshakes. Blueberry sundaes. Product samples featuring blueberry everything. Food trucks. Local artisans. Live music. It's basically blueberry paradise! My personal lineup for the afternoon included a blueberry milkshake, one of their incredible blueberry sugar cakes and a pint of fresh blueberries to take home since I didn't have time to pick my own this year. I found a spot to sit, enjoyed my milkshake and sugar cake while listening to the live music and thought to myself...yep...this is exactly where I'm supposed to be today. One thing that continues to impress me every single time I visit Hollabaugh Bros. is how incredibly well they run these events. From the parking attendants directing traffic...to the cashiers...to the ladies keeping the sample room stocked...to the bakery staff helping customers...everyone is friendly, organized and genuinely happy to help! PRO TIP: Don't skip the sample room! It's one of my favorite parts of every festival. You get to taste all kinds of products made right there on the farm, and I've discovered several things I never would have purchased otherwise. I also appreciate that the overall layout stays consistent from one festival to the next. After you've visited once, it's incredibly easy to find your favorite stops on future visits without wandering around trying to remember where everything is. I drive about 50 minutes each way to attend Hollabaugh Bros. festivals. That alone should tell you how much I enjoy them. They're not just farmers market events. They're community celebrations. You see families making memories, friends catching up over milkshakes, kids running around excitedly and visitors filling bags with whatever fruit happens to be in season. It's exactly the kind of event that makes summer in Pennsylvania feel special. There's a reason this festival has been going strong for 71 years. Hollabaugh Bros. knows how to grow incredible fruit. More importantly, they know how to create experiences that keep people coming back year after year. I'm already looking forward to seeing what they're celebrating next!

Their hospitality leading up to the ride was fantastic, the weather was a bit 'iffy' so we ended up pushing back to later in the afternoon. It was still a bit cold and overcast when we arrived and we ended up being the only couple to join them. Blankets were in the carriage waiting for us and we were greeted as soon as we pulled up, the ride was enjoyable and informative... we learned about the farm and a bit about the battle, both Bill and Bonnie were super friendly and it was a pleasure to meet them! After the ride was over we had the opportunity to go back to the barn and meet all the horses. We learned more about each of them and got to feed them carrots, absolutely worth the price and a ride we would definitely do again, hopefully under better weather next time!

Peters Orchards is an institution when it comes to fresh fruit and vegetables and other goodies…read more We have been going here for years to get our corn which is freshly picked from the fields and it's probably some of the best corn in the area . We usually purchase many many dozens of years and we freeze it to enjoy over the winter . They also have freshly picked peaches of all different varieties, which are simply incredible. 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.

My extended family and I had a great time at Shaw Orchards in the summer picking blueberries and…read moreraspberries. We arrived late in the season, but what's the efficient number of blackberries and blueberries were still available to pick. We just had to spend a little extra time picking which actually made it a little bit more fun. Wagons are available to pull your buckets so you and the kids don't have to carry them. The signage for the types of blueberries and blackberries and raspberries are adequate. This was my first time going there and we were able to find parking fairly easy because we arrive shortly after they opened. I can see how parking will be a little more difficult during the busy times. Bathrooms are on site that they are a little bit primitive. If you don't want to pick your own fruits, their store has some already picked for you but at a greater cost than if you picked them yourself plus other local produce and grocery items.

She was as sweet as the peaches she offered so I went over to her tent later on in the evening and was greeted by her and her equally adorable sister. They both pointed out a lonely carton of raspberries that seemed to whisper, "take me home." It was not the wine talking, it was the assertive, yet kind sales pitch and the freshness of the goods - "picked this morning!" These sisters are good! "Try one little grape, they are delicious!" I did. And they were. Sold! Raspberries and Peaches and Grapes. Oh my! I made sure to grab their brochure so I can visit their family farm soon. Hayride in the pumpkin patch? Oh, heck yeah!
