I had already visited Hollabaugh Bros. during last summer's Blueberry Festival and had such a great experience that when I realized my Sunday adventure schedule would put me only about 20 minutes away from their 11th Annual Strawberry Festival, there was absolutely no question about whether I was going. Add in the fact that I had just finished a 4.5-mile hike and was STARVING? This became an immediate priority. I arrived around 12:15pm and was immediately impressed by how smoothly everything was running. One of several parking attendants guided me to a super-close parking spot, and within minutes I was heading toward the festivities. Kudos to Hollabaugh Bros. for absolutely nailing the logistics. No confusion. No backed-up traffic. No chaos. Just friendly people efficiently moving visitors through the process so everyone could get to the important business of strawberries. The festival itself was packed with exactly the kind of charm you'd hope for from a family farm celebration. The event featured live music, local artisan vendors, wagon rides, food trucks, strawberry desserts, and enough strawberry-themed treats to make any berry lover ridiculously happy. One of my favorite parts was discovering that they had once again set up the indoor tasting room. Last year this was one of my favorite parts of the Blueberry Festival, and the strawberry version was just as much fun. Staff members encouraged visitors to sample everything from strawberry salsa and syrups to dips and warm strawberry crisp. They were also offering samples of several sausage varieties sold in the market. I tried one, immediately fell in love with it, and ended up bringing a package home with me before leaving. The market itself was filled with strawberry-themed goodies alongside Hollabaugh's regular offerings, but I had one mission. Last year, I missed out on the famous Blueberry Sugar Cakes and spent an embarrassingly long amount of time thinking about that mistake afterward. So this year I was determined not to repeat history. When I spotted Strawberry Sugar Cakes, I practically lit up. The only problem? They were sold in packs of six, and while I enjoy sugar as much as the next person, even I have limits. I asked one of the employees if it might be possible to buy just one. Instead, she kindly repackaged three for me and sold me a smaller portion. My blood sugar, my waistline, and my future self all deeply appreciated the compromise! Outside, I made my way to the strawberry dessert tent where they were serving strawberry sundaes, strawberry crisp, and strawberry milkshakes. Since I'd been craving a milkshake all morning, that decision was easy. Armed with my strawberry milkshake and my precious strawberry sugar cakes, I found a sunny bench near the live musician and settled in. And honestly? That was probably my favorite part of the entire day. The weather was beautiful. The acoustic music was playing softly nearby. Families wandered through the festival. Kids ran around enjoying the activities. People chatted, laughed, sampled treats, and enjoyed a perfect late-spring afternoon. Meanwhile, I sat there happily bopping along to the music, eating strawberry sugar cake, sipping one of the best strawberry milkshakes I've had in a long time, and appreciating the fact that sometimes the best adventures are the simple ones. At this point, festivals at Hollabaugh Bros. are becoming two things for me: a chance to grab specific treats I know I'm going to love, and an opportunity to spend a few hours soaking up one of the most relaxed, welcoming, and enjoyable atmospheres around. Reasonable prices. Fantastic staff. Plenty of parking. Great food. Great events. Zero stress! I absolutely love this place and can't wait for their next fruit festival adventure!

We didn't see a full size tractor ride however. If you come hungry, try their apple cider donuts, slushies and ice cream. All of it is really good!

This spot has so many wonderful food stands. Upon walking in, you can pick up a cart to explore all of the stands. My kids love this place as much as me since you can find so much variety. Our first stop is the very busy Amish soft pretzel stand. My kids love the standard soft pretzel dipped in melted butter and topped with rock salt. My personal favorite are the stuffed soft pretzels like the pretzels stuffed with roast beef and cooper sharp cheddar. Nothing tastes better! There are also many other stands that offer fresh produce, meats, cheeses and baked goods. I particularly like Bieler's Donuts, the same place you'll find packed lines in Philadelphia right here. It's such a fun place and my kids love it. But most importantly, this is dad's spot!

Using his wits, his ingenuity, and unparalleled levels of skill and perseverance, Aatami Korpi, who earns the moniker of "the man who cannot die," escapes not just bombs and machine gun fire but a plane deployed as a missile. And yet, the most moving moment of the film is not found in one of its many arresting action sequences but in a single line of dialogue, spoken by one of six Finnish men, who, along with one teenager and one boy, carrying hatchets, axes, and tools, interrupts the battle-finished Korpi's work on his new home to ask in Finnish, subtitled in English, "We thought you might need some help?" Speechless and shaking with relief and joy, Korpi watches the strangers get to work on his roof, walls, and foundation. That level of kindness, assistance, delight, joy, skill, and service can be seen in every vendor at the Dutch Country Market Thursdays through Saturdays at 9701 Fort Meade Rd in Laurel, MD. Whether it is homemade pretzels, pasta salads, chili, produce, meats, cheeses, popcorn, donuts, or varieties of dark chocolate, candy, or fudge you seek, you will find plenty to whet your appetite. Mind you, most, if not all, of everything contains zero preservatives. Our advice is to buy what you can enjoy soon or share your purchases with company before it's too late.

Not to mention the insane bakery section in the middle of the store with fresh bread, pies, cakes, muffins, bagels, even gluten free baked goods as well. It's a fun place to spend a bunch of time just perusing all they have to offer. It's busy and noisy and the lines can be long, so just be ready for that. Bring cash as some vendors offer lower prices if you pay in cash instead of with a card. Take your goods and drive the short way to a park or the beach for the best morning!
