Only problem was I got the closing time wrong for Saturday. I arrived past 5pm thinking they remained open til 6pm. Nope. Closed already. A guy (non-employee) who helped direct me to the market and opened the door for me found they were closed but then let me know the employee was going to let me in. This employee was Pat. Talk about being ultra kind. She let me shop and even helped me with what products to buy -- like the onion and watermelon. Thank you, Pat!

Twin Hills Farm is a small family-owned farm that opened in 2015. They raise animals and grow…read moreproduce, and they sell their eggs, meats, and some produce to the public. The family feeds their hens a 100% organic soy-free feed and gives them access to open pastures for 365 days per year. They feed their berkshire pigs a 100% organic soy-free feed and put them on pasture year-round. They feed their belted galloway cattle 100% grass and hay on open pastures. They do not administer any hormones or antibiotics to their animals. So far, I have purchased this farm's chicken eggs, ham, chuck roast, and rump roast. I made the purchases through the website Market Wagon. My husband, dog, and I greatly enjoyed the freshness and flavors of all of these foods. Examples of this farm's other foods are steaks, ribs, ground beef, hotdogs, sausage, kielbasa, green peppers, and banana peppers. I feel happy that this family takes such excellent care of their animals and that their foods are such a high quality, so I will continue to buy their foods in the future.

The cows, donkeys, pigs, and cats all made great neighbors for the night. Our hosts Amy and Reagan were very hospitable and engaging and we learned about their life on the farm and more. They have a lot going on here and more cool stuff in the works. Reagan, a senior at Penn State, started a business, "Hug a Highland" which allows guests to brush, love, feed their Scottish Highlands cows and miniature donkeys, which are all so adorable.

I've been here to apple pick, blueberry pick, strawberry pick and pick flowers. Each experience is fun and has something unique. My favorite is the apple picking. There are usually at least two varieties to choose from and the apples are always delicious! I also love the strawberry picking (and you take a hay ride to get to the field). Sure it is more expensive than if you purchased in a grocery store, but it is a fun experience making memories with your family. If you don't want to go the pick your own route, they have a lot of other fun things to keep you entertained. Bounce pillows, corn maze, slides built into the hillside, a haunted walk through barn, animals and more! And, if you don't want to do any of the extras, it is worth it just to stop and shop in their market! Loads of their fresh produce, baked goods, jarred goods and cute farm related merchandise. I highly recommend Triple B!

A delicious restaurant, a fantastic market, a dairy that makes phenomenal milk and a place for amazing events like the fall festival and events with Santa. They even have special events where groups (and often the general public) can sign up for a tour where you get to learn about their dairy operations and even milk a cow! When you visit in the fall, they have a lot of great themed decorations (as well as activities that you can pay to be a part of). But you can enjoy the festive vibes and decor without doing the whole experience if you are short on time or cash. Their food is delicious! The best way to describe it is homemade comfort food! The friendly staff is knowledgeable and will answer any questions you might have about what certain things are or about ingredients. You can also eat fairly affordably, especially for the portion sizes and homemade, quality ingredients. The shop has a variety of souvenir type items (shirts, magnets, mugs, stuffed animals) but also local products like cheese and candy. They also have bakery items and tasty ice cream. Worth a trip for a delicious meal and fun farm experience!

The market sells a variety of foods and beverages from the family business as well as from other local businesses. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and catering. My husband and I shopped in the market one time. We saw milks, cheeses, deli meats, salads, baked goods, canned goods, ice creams, candies, and much more. So many delicious foods! We were away from home and had just eaten at another restaurant, so we purchased only two small things--a brookie (a chocolate-chip cookie with a brownie inside) and a small cherry pie. The total price was $11. On the next day, we ate the brookie and the cherry pie at home. They tasted pretty good. Now I feel interested in trying more of their foods and doing a tour of their farm...

They sell these products at their farm and through several retail partners and farmers markets. My first purchase from Primrose Farm was their chicken eggs. The chickens were raised free-range and without hormones and antibiotics. The eggs came in beautiful colors such as brown, blue, and green, and they tasted very good. My subsequent purchases were their pies. I bought a dutch apple pie (with cinnamon and caramel), a mixed berry pie (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries), and a cherry pie. These pies were very fresh and tasted delicious! The crusts were perfectly crispy and contained generous amounts of fruits. The prices were reasonable, especially for the quality.

They raise many heritage breeds of animals that existed hundreds of years before commercial breeds. Their heritage breeds include Icelandic lamb, Berkshire pork, Galloway beef, poultry such as Muscovy duck, and others. The farmers use natural farming practices. Their animals enjoy large, green pastures, and pigs aerate the soil. The farmers never give the animals any antibiotics, growth hormones, or steroids. Furthermore, the farmers strive to use all parts of the animals so that nothing goes to waste. For example, they use bones to make bone broth, and they share hides to make leather as well as fat to make cosmetics. I have made several purchases from this farm. The ground chicken was a high quality. The slice of ham was large and had a smoky flavor. The duck wings were large, and I appreciate that the farm kindly gave me instructions to properly cook the duck. I also bought a couple of medium-sized pumpkins that were lovely decorations on my front porch.

You get to see the female alpacas first (about a herd of 8 of varying ages), then the males. Each paid guest receives a cup of food to feed the alpacas (save some for the males!). Bring a napkin/hand sanitizer because the alpacas like to lick up every last morsel from the palm of your hand, and some may spit at you! There's also fun games in the field, including a large giant slide for both adults and kids, a flat bouncy area, a fenced area for bouncing on some oversized balls, a tug-of-war, and other activities.
