Lancaster, PA is heavily tourist congestion sadly driving away the Amish population. My party of…read morethree visited Cherry Hill Orchards Outlet farmer's market as fresh fruit is a staple in our livelihood style. Fruit is consumed post-dinner and after lunch. We came here without any farmers market food vouchers. I ponder with hope and wonder if Cherry Hill offers apple picking, pumpkin U-Pick or strawberry picking like NYS Hudson Valley. There are no photo stand-in, face-in-hole board, or peep board for families to participate making memories. Customer service is average. I did obtain my sales receipt. At the cash wrap counter Cherry Hill Orchards carries a "Help to Eliminate Spoilage" card to maintain fruit freshness. Blueberries, one pint $4.99 Fresh and plump to sustain for 1.5 day with refrigeration. Chocolate cherry cordials $0.75 each X 2 = $1.50 One milk chocolate and one dark chocolate which were average. I immediately engulfed these chocolates upon entering the car. Maple syrup, 8 oz. jug $10.99 Maple syrup price has risen exorbitant outrageously high in the past decade that $10.99 has almost become the standard lowest price. I have seen sales of $7.99 for 12 oz. glass bottles - once in a blue moon. I have a predilection for maple syrup specifically Canadian maple syrup. Yum! I did not know that Lancaster, PA offers maple sugaring season. Amish Country in Pennsylvania has certainly more presence and impact for farming agricultural lifestyle in Lancaster, PA. Lancaster, PA once served as the capital of Pennsylvania from 1799 to 1812. Secretly, as my desideratum I wanted the 12 oz. maple syrup jug size, but I do not have the space in my duffle travel bag for the long-haul car ride return to NYC!

Now that we all live nearby, the luster is off the pumpkin for me, just a bit...I guess I can't get over an employee telling me they'd never heard of strawberry pie, while also disclosing that they don't bake their own pies. That said they have a great array of produce, sweets, and plants...and I wish the cider was filtered and pasteurized so I wouldn't have to dump puffed up 2 day old bottles.

It was fun to see some of the products that Lancaster is known for! I had to get the special red soda, and a Whoopie pie. Both delicious! This spot has all the basics you could want. Ingredients, as well as a lot of premade options you could heat up or bake at home. It is on the pricier end being a meat market, but still fun to look around and get a few items!

Bird-in-Hand Farmers Market is a large indoor food hall rural area. There are many merchants…read moreincluding Amish who are among to attain entrepreneurial and financial gain to sustain a living. There are benches for resting in the foyer entrance. My party of three walked to browse the various merchants/ vendors and foods. My party of three visited this indoor food market where there were many options of pies, nuts, candy, pastries, baked goods, bread, pretzels, Amish quilts, but disappointedly I did not see any Amish wicker storage baskets. My desiderium was to purchase one large storage wicker basket with inner cloth lining, but to no avail as I am characteristically organized in both my living and workplace space environment. Or, purchase one large raffia storage box with lid. I also wanted the classic chocolate chip (no nuts) cookies, but to no avail. Surprising Bird-in-Hand Farmers Market is open and operational on July 4th, 2026 holiday. Customer service is mediocre. There is a large souvenir gift shop in the lower level via schlepping one flight of stairs. It is not ADA accessible. There is no stair climber available either. Ergo, for the mobility challenged take caution and there is very low headroom in the stairwell. My party of three has always patronized to support local souvenir gift shops as tourists - past and present. Personally, I believe in patronizing brick and mortar local souvenir gift shops drives the local economic tourism. We are non-Pennsylvanians. The souvenir T-shirts are hugely extortionate priced at $19.99. This gift shop reminisce nostalgia of Hallmark stores for mugs, decorative pens, bookmarks, post cards, magnets, pins, printed recipe books, small journals, wall calendar year 2027, et al. The costume jewelry was also hugely extortionate priced $19.99. I freely walked the aisles to browse and circled back. I purchased one post card of Amish horse buggy with a farm field $0.50, one Pennsylvania shape magnet $1.99, and one lighthouse shape coaster $2.99. I have a small collection of post cards from travels. I actually needed a coaster for my workplace desk as I am currently using a makeshift coaster of my own arts and craft creation. I love lighthouses for the long history, significance, contribution to navy and maritime industry, including aesthetic of nature scenic local landscape emitting a sense of peace. I did receive a sales receipt printed from a very dated cash register.

The gentleman working the field in the back dressed as a Mennonite (common to the area), so we thought it highly likely this was the fruit of his labor. A great stop at the side of the road. Seasonal, of course, and very busy when we stopped by. Some of the veggies at the end of the day weren't that great, they get picked over quite a bit over the course of the day (go early for the best selection).

They have a large greenhouse area with beautiful flowers as well as Vegetables, Baked Goods, Jams, Jellies and of course homemade Root Beer. One thing that took me by surprise at this stand is they actually take debit cards unlike most of the Amish ran stands in the area. Overall a really cool place to stop, and check out while traveling the Lincoln Highway through PA Dutch Country.

When September rolls around, I am so sad to say good-bye to chicken BBQ, but then May is here and it's BACK! This place ain't fancy and there's no whoopie pie, but who needs a whoopie pie, when Hayloft Ice Cream is directly across the street. Tender, succulent, marinaded chicken, seasoning is on point, small potato, perfectly grilled/cooked, soft roll, tangy/sweet slaw, grilled corn - worth the wait for May to roll around. The wait is excruciating, though. During my last visit, Hayloft had strawberry soft ice cream. A perfect ending to an even more perfect chicken bbq.
