A little higher priced that some other stands. Some of the Amish households offer a better deal. I grabbed a cantelope which was fabulous.

"He's washing dishes and baby clothes He's so ambitious, he…read moreeven sews But don't forget, folks That's what you get, folks, for makin' whoopee" (Ella Fitzgerald) You had me at "Create Your Own Whoopie Pie". The veritable cherry on top of their cornucopia of fruits, vegetables, jarred foods, baked goodies, pretzels, popcorn, candies, and frozen foods is their Whoopie Pie Festival, which we attended today. The Festival runs on Feb. 26-28 & March 5-7 between 9am - 4pm. Essentially, you can create Your Own Whoopie Pie for $4 each, 4 or more at $3.50 each, and 12 or more $3 each. Here's how it works - make your customized selections of one of 12 cookies, one of 11 frostings, and one of 7 toppings, and Brecknock will build your pie. I went full Elvis mode and selected banana cookies, peanut butter frosting, and chocolate chip toppings around the circumference. We had a great time at Brecknock -making our Whoopie pies, playing a whoopie pie trivia game, and picking up a few odds and ends for us and friends. PRO TIP Hats off to Brecknock for their generosity and hospitality. They had free samples everywhere- whoopie pie wedges, pretzels, popcorn, and all sorts of goodies. It worked on us, because after sampling some honey mustard pretzels, we couldn't grab a bag fast enough.

Great food products and the most amazing friendly helpful staff I have ever dealt with. We bring…read moreour family and friends here all season long. Three stars!

This spot is kids paradise. I planned most of our day here and my kids still didn't want to leave…read more I typically saw this spot whenever I rode the Strasburg Railroad. We typically would do their Christmas Train, and rarely got back to Lancaster in the warmer months. As soon as I planned my latest summer trip, I knew it had to be on the itinerary. This place has it all from gigantic slides to gold mining sluice areas to a mini kids village that mine couldn't get enough of from the mini vet office to the drive in theater. It was really impressive. From here, you can make your way up the hill where there is a restaurant, a coffee kiosk with a delicious coconut water cold brew (wild!), and plenty of shaded sections with swinging chairs. You'll find paintball, basketball, skee ball, a pedal cart for the family, launching devices. I mean, there is a lot! The place is large so it never felt overly crowded. Come with water bottles. Even with the shaded sections it gets hot. They have water fountains by the bathrooms.

My kids loved everything from the large corn maze to the swings to the games to the playground equipment to the large sandbox filled with corn. My kids were 4 and 6 during our visit, but the farm can easily accommodate older or younger. Two notes; 1. The bathrooms in the back of the farm are new & super clean. 2. Don't feel pressure to purchase the add ones (apple chucking and paintball) - those sections are towards the back of the farm and easily avoidable. There was a variety of food options - a few standard theme park options along with specialty options like homemade ice cream.

The majority of spots in Lancaster are closed on Sundays so I was thankful that the Oregon Dairy…read morefacilities were open! Upon walking in, we were stopped to pay $15 per person even though we just wanted to walk around. Our first impression was that the activities were just for kids. We paid the $15 each and figured we should make the most out of everything. We did the corn maze which was a cool experience- it's pretty big and impressive. We literally chucked corn into tires from sling shots. We got into huge tires and rolled around. We had to pay an ADDITIONAL $25 to pick sunflowers. Did we have a good time? Sure, but did we have to really squeeze the fun out of everything as adults? Yes. We then had to pay MORE for food. Apple cider wasn't fresh, it was prepackaged. The apple cider donuts were cold. We did have funnel cake fritters which were so good, a must try, but wish they gave more in a serving. I was hoping they'd have pumpkin picking or apple picking. This spot is definitely good for kids as they have goat feeding, space to run around, basketball hoops and mini train rides.

I wasn't going to go there, but then (sighs); I saw Cara's review and I remembered my experience at…read moreOregon Dairy's pumpkin patch/corn maze. I didn't pay as much as Cara - cost for corn maze & pumpkin patch was around $14. I went, solo and was excited to pick pumpkins and venture on my own, in the corn maze. The pumpkin patch wasn't what I was expecting. Yes, there were pumpkins and yes, they were in a patch of grassy land, freshly plucked, gathered in a small area. Not attached to a field (as I was imagining), but in a smallish section of their farm. I did complain and received monies back, for this misinterpretation of a pumpkin patch. I suggested that they advertise differently. The corn maze was kinda fun. I'm not really good with directions and I felt their tiny corn maze directions map, was difficult to understand. I didn't know how to decipher this map and what paths to take, another disappointment. Lastly, the burger I ordered from the food truck, disgusting and undercooked.

We arrived w/ no clear sense of where to go or begin. There were tented areas, but then little shacks w/ awnings, pockets of people standing in a field, others across the street. Do I pay for this outside? Do I go inside? Are there tickets? The market (which had really nice things) was impossible to shop. Some things were outside, other things inside, w/ a line of people waiting to pay starting at the tented outside register area, backed up, weaving all the way thru the market isles to the front door. You had to squeeze between the line of people waiting to pay & the shelves of food to shop, making it hard to look at anything, much less grab anything. I know this sounds like a good problem to have, but not when chaos is driving the experience more than demand. Exhausted from wondering the outside trying to figure out what all there was to do & where to go, then braving the market, I decided to skip apple picking which was the main reason I was there! That process appeared even less clear, so no regrets. I do love the things purchased at the market, including apple cider donuts, frozen pastas, & Reading Soda Works bottles- just think I'll return to shop on a day when nothing is going on.

Loved this charming market! They have great produce and baked goods as well as lots of pumpkins,…read moregourds, etc! All the employees were so nice and helpful. There are also some cute spots for Fall photo ops! The market is next to their orchard, where you can go at pick apples at this time of year! It was $25 for a good sized box and you also get free apple cider donuts at the end. They are so delicious! Even if you don't go apple picking, you can buy the apple cider donuts in the store. Definitely a must try! Overall, I would recommend this spot to shop and to go apple picking! It is a fun spot to spend a fall afternoon!

I started my day looking to have a great experience at the Cherry Hill Orchards Outlet,…read moreunfortunately a loud, rude, insensitive cashier/employee smashed that dream. I am a 61-year-old senior woman who have recently received my farmers market food vouchers. I found this farmers market on the list provided by FMNP-Farmers Market Nutrition Program through the Office of Aging in Lancaster, PA. After picking items to use with the food vouchers as well as food I would purchase, I arrive at the cash register. I go to the cashier closest to the exit and asked if they accepted the food vouchers. She was not sure what they were and called over her co-worker on the second register. The young lady comes over with a very loud tone says yes these are food vouchers. I ask what specifically they covered. She pulls out a list and says loudly they only cover fruits and vegetables from local farmers in PA not processed foods. A line begins to form and there are only two registers where both ladies are helping me. I say can you bring your voice down a little you are embarrassing me. She puts her hand to her chest and say I'm sorry this is how I talk it is not you don't have to be embarrassed. I go back and forth twice to add more fruit to bring the total close to the voucher amount-(Each at $5.00 a piece and I was using 4 of the 5.) I said I can come to your register so this cashier can help the other customers. The second cashier explaining everything continued to talk loud insisting that she will call another employee to assist while she trains the cashier on how to use the vouchers. By now there was a longer line of customers as it began to get crowded and most looking and listening to my exchange. I explained to the first cashier since she said she did not know what the vouchers were. FMNP is a program for seniors experiencing food insecurities living in the state of PA which assist both seniors and the farmers. I was so humiliated that this cashier used me as a training tool while I stated she was embarrassing me. This did not deter her one bit she continued talking loudly about the vouchers in front of a store full of other customers at my expense. When I got back to my car I just cried from the humiliation I was put through and the embarrassment from how this cashier was so insensitive, rude and disrespectful. The true training moment here is seniors are people too and the voucher is a program like any other form of payment which should be taught to all employees to avoid humiliating your senior population. All in all, every human being has a right to be treated with dignity and respect especially when they tell you how you may be making them feel in that moment. Many people are currently experiencing hard times in today's economy so be sensitive and patient and listen when others speak. I did call the store afterwards and spoke with a manager who apologized and stated she knew who the cashier was after I described her and would pull her aside to talk about my complaint. I would not ever go back to this market simply based on today's humiliating encounter with this one cashier. I originally moved to Lancaster, PA to retire mainly because of the farmers markets I have visited over the years and had great experiences. I always try to shop local because I know how important it is to grow smaller businesses.
