What can you expect if you go? Good question: prepare yourself for piles & piles of apples, peaches, pears & tomatoes. (think galas, honey crisps, crest havens, sweet sues, madisons, etc) They offer a wide variety of other produce & an incredible selection of baked goods. Shoofly pies, breads, rolls, cakes, etc. Everything that your dietitian told you not to eat, this place has!!! Their asparagus is always fresh & pretty inexpensive. Some other things they sell: meats, cheeses, subs, dry goods, bulk candy & nuts, etc. We've been fans & have been coming here for quite some time over the past 8+ years.

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!

I grew up in PA so love tasty Amish baked goods and the usual PA foods you'd find in that area. If coming to the market, this is probably a good experience. Looking to buy plants?

Growing up in Florida, we picked oranges, mangoes, and avocados, but I'd never been apple picking. It was time. I pulled into the very full parking lot and was guided by an employee into a spot. Headed inside passed the beautiful pumpkin and flower displays. To have an apple picking session, you needed to make the line and purchase a bag. The line was all the way to the back of the store. I was able to shop most of the market while waiting and had a very good time. So much fresh produce, and Amish condiments. Once I got to the cashier, I purchased a bag and then headed out to the orchard across the street. You check in with the table at the front, and then meander through all the beautiful rows of apple varieties, filling your bag at youre leisure. It was gorgeous. None of these apples were waxed or uniform, and they tasted so lusciously sweet. Not bland like the perfect looking grocery store types. I've been ruined. I put the apples in my car, and then explored the party that was taking place outside the building. There was live music, pumpkin carving, rabbits, food trucks, kettle corn and more. I got some meat pies at the Australian truck, and apple cider & apple cider donuts from the restaurant inside. Took them back out to the picnic table and enjoyed the lively scene. After lunch, I went back across the street for a hayride up to the pumpkin patch. We passed sunflower fields and other crops on the way. It's a beautiful property. Once in the pumpkin patch, something else I'd never done before, I went on a hunt to pick my perfect pumpkin- Still attached to the vine! I was surprised by all the different sizes and shapes. There were colors ranging from white to yellow to orange to green. Big and small, bumpy and smooth. All growing together in happy harmony. I know if I lived close by this would be a yearly tradition. Taking my chosen pumpkins to the table to pay, I was feeling super content with the days fall festivities. A couple of great firsts!

Had to bring home the red wine peppered salami. Coming home, opening the cooler, and handing out foodie presents is like Christmas morning. The oohs and aahs were heard at multiple houses. The staff were very helpful finding my treasures. Wegmans trips make traveling for business worth it.

How this Wegmans location has sunken…read more.. Back before they dedicated a significant chunk of store to alcohol, they had a pretty nice tea nook and natural section. It used to be somewhat "fun" to shop here, and the international corner had more variety. Parts of the latter have been gutted and somethings dispersed back into the regular aisles. Everytime you walk by the alcohol section, whatever dutiful lady theu have standing guard of the section, has to eyeball me like surely that's surely where I must be heading. Should not feel the need to mention, but I could not care less about drinking, and even if I did, I wouldn't come here for that. When I was younger and working grocery for peanuts at a mediocre grocery chain that wasn't known for such above average employee benefits and environments than precious Wegmans, our crews had good attitudes while still being human. Somehow, the employees at Wegmans have a general blend of apathy, misery, and barely tolerance. I remember one instance I had to go in there soon after a family tragedy, two days without sleep,stress, through the roof and a chronic medical condition dragging me down worse than usual, and I still did my best to be pleasant and polite to a cashier who was literally talking to me like she hated my guts, like I had just wronged her entire family for years, while moving my items like it took every fiber of her being to not slam each one down in the bag. No idea what that was about, as the people in front of me got no such treatment. It's not as if i was wearing my own feelings in my sleeve. I would've been let go on the spot for displaying a fraction of the attitude while I was making a fraction of their wage, this young woman was flat out being abusive. I've never even seen a teenager act out in such a way to a complete stranger. It was so bizarre. We used to have such pleasant interactions with the employees here, and we'd even sometimes plan our hour away trips to thr area around coming to this store. Now it's tacked when it's absolutely neccesary, and we see it as a chore to even run in for a couple things, a mild dread usually reserved for Walmart. The level of the self importance vibe of the people who still shop here who act like they're in some high end metropolis in a hurry and everyone else is just cattle in their way is so thick. The thing is, it doesn't even make sense. Wegmans (at least this location) has very few things that make it exclusive anymore. It is reduced to a status symbol store in so many ways, without the goods and services to back it up. Because they still have people playing chef for Safeway deli / mall caliber food? Get me out of here.
