I had never even HEARD of Maplewood Farm Market until the internet recommended it as a side quest…read moreduring one of my adventures. I was headed toward Chambersburg and looking for somewhere directly along my route where I could pick up some homemade baked goods. Maplewood was the highest-rated recommendation, so around 5pm on a Thursday evening, I decided to investigate. When I pulled in, there were only a few cars in the parking lot, which surprised me considering the size of the farm market, greenhouses and everything else spread around the property. I snagged a spot right out front, walked through the doors and immediately realized I had SEVERELY underestimated this place. IT WAS HUGE! And not just "big farm market" huge. This was a full-blown food wonderland. There was a deli loaded with meats, cheeses and prepared foods, a made-to-order grill with sandwiches, soups and fried foods, an enormous bakery section, a mini grocery store with shelf-stable goods and baking supplies and a huge produce area with bins overflowing with beautiful fresh fruits and vegetables. I definitely had not budgeted enough time for this side quest! Unfortunately, I was on a timeline and had arrived with a very specific mission: find some kind of homemade peanut butter baked good to take along on my adventure. Which brings me to my one and only complaint about Maplewood Farm Market. THERE WERE TOO MANY PEANUT BUTTER OPTIONS! Listen. Peanut butter represents approximately 63.8% of my personality. You cannot put me in front of an entire bakery case filled with peanut butter things and expect me to make responsible decisions. I wandered around the bakery section for nearly 20 MINUTES trying to choose one thing. Every time I thought I'd made my decision, I'd find something else involving peanut butter and have to start the entire internal debate over again. Eventually, I accepted defeat. I bought three. My haul included a chocolate whoopie pie with peanut butter filling, a chocolate chip cookie sandwich with peanut butter filling and a refrigerated peanut butter Oreo pie that was honestly shockingly beautiful. I carried my little peanut butter rampage to the register fully prepared to accept the financial consequences of my behavior. The cashier rang everything up. "$6.37." Excuse me? I actually did a double take. THREE enormous homemade-looking bakery treats for $6.37?! In THIS economy?! I almost felt like I should quietly take my bag and leave before somebody realized there had been a terrible mistake. To say Maplewood's prices are reasonable would be a severe understatement. I couldn't believe how much I walked out with for barely more than six bucks, especially considering the size and quality of everything I'd picked. And yes, the baked goods absolutely lived up to their appearances! The chocolate and peanut butter combinations delivered exactly what Future Me had hoped for when she made the executive decision to buy all three instead of choosing like a functioning adult. My biggest regret from this visit is simply that I didn't have enough time. I came looking for a baked-good pit stop and accidentally discovered a place where I could easily spend an hour wandering through the bakery, deli, produce, grocery and prepared-food sections before grabbing lunch or dinner from the grill. What started as an internet-recommended stop for something sweet turned into one of those fantastic little adventure discoveries that immediately earns a spot on my "How did I not know this existed?!" list. I'll absolutely be back! Next time, I'm budgeting more time. Probably also more than $6.37!

It's no secret that at this point I basically belong to the unofficial Hollabaugh Bros. fan club…read more I've reviewed every festival of theirs I've attended this year, and I certainly wasn't about to break the streak for the 36th Annual Peach Festival! Especially because, candidly, it had been a few weeks since my last Hollabaugh festival and I was starting to miss them. This year's Central PA peach crop took a hit from the weather, but Hollabaugh held their annual Peach Festival anyway, complete with peach desserts, samples, live music, vendors, food trucks, wagon rides, games and plenty more. The festival was free to attend with a $5 parking fee benefiting the organizations providing volunteers. I arrived around 1:00 p.m. Saturday and, as usual, everything was incredibly well organized. Helpful parking attendants got me situated quickly, and shuttles were available for anyone who needed some help getting from the parking area to the festival. I weirdly LOVE that Hollabaugh keeps the same general festival layout every time. The creature of habit in me appreciates knowing exactly where I'm going. I know where the samples are. I know where the baked goods are. I know where important business needs to happen. I started in the sample room, where a spicy peach BBQ sauce convinced me it needed to come home for a future dinner. Then it was time for my traditional baked goods counter visit, where I learned that apparently I have officially become a regular. I've developed a habit of buying three festival-themed sugar cakes at every Hollabaugh festival. They normally package six together, but the staff have always kindly split a package for me. This time, one of the women behind the counter RECOGNIZED ME and asked if I was there for my three peach sugar cakes. Umm...YES! I don't know whether to be proud or concerned that I've reached "the bakery staff knows my sugar cake order" status, but I'm choosing proud. While she packaged them, I also grabbed two of the largest carrots I've ever seen for that night's dinner and then headed outside for dessert. Normally, I get the festival-themed milkshake, but this time peach pie à la mode caught my attention. They offered vanilla or peach ice cream on top, but we're at the PEACH FESTIVAL. There was only one correct answer. PEACH ON PEACH. The peach ice cream was TREMENDOUS! Sometimes peach ice cream tastes vaguely fruity and you're supposed to trust everyone involved that peach was the intended flavor. Not this stuff. This tasted like PEACH. The pie underneath was equally fantastic, and I demonstrated impressive personal growth by NOT going back inside and buying an entire one. Please clap for my restraint. Of course, I still had to break into one of my peach sugar cakes. Fluffy, sweet and packed with chunks of peaches. Exactly what I hoped it would be. Tradition successfully maintained! I spent about an hour at the festival, but you could easily make an afternoon of the live music, vendors, food trucks and activities. That's one of the things Hollabaugh does so well. Come for an hour or settle in for the afternoon. Either way, there's plenty to see, eat and enjoy. And I'm realizing there are four things I can apparently count on every single time I come to a Hollabaugh festival. The staff are friendly. Always. The parking and event organization are easy. Always. The property is beautiful. Always. And at some point, I will put something in my mouth that makes me say, "OH MY GOD, THIS IS GOOD!" ALWAYS. Thank you, Hollabaugh Bros., for another fantastic festival and for continuing to create events that are about so much more than selling peaches, apples or baked goods. These festivals give people a reason to gather, support local businesses, try something new, enjoy some great food and spend an afternoon together on a beautiful Adams County farm. I'll obviously be back. At this point, somebody behind the bakery counter is probably already preparing my three sugar cakes.
