5.0Lapp Valley Farm(506 reviews) - Best Milkshakes!! Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Farms
While staying in a rental about 35 minutes away we frequently visited this place. I definitely gained a few pounds from the delicious milkshakes. My favorites were vanilla, strawberry and raspberry. Also - Milkshakes are easy for the kids to enjoy when they are in car seats - little mess. Also, the milk and chocolate milk were delicious. The chocolate milk tasted like a shake in itself. We visited during the pandemic. I was surprised to see the crowds packing the outdoor seating not wearing masks. Needless to say we stuck to the drive through when ordering. Weekdays are definitely less crowded than Saturdays but still quite a few people. On a weekday we also walked the kids over to the cows to get a closer look. Worth checking it out if you’re in the area. See more..
Just as great as the last time! Rebecca was our guide, we got to feed the horses, cows, pigs, lambs, goats, and chickens. Held rabbits, baby chicks, lambs, and even collie puppies. We collected eggs from the chicken coop, seen ducks and turkeys and took a wagon ride around the farm. This is our 2nd time at Old Windmill Farm and we will continue to return every trip to the area! The owners are wonderful and so sweet. All the animals very well taken care of and happy. It is free for children 5 and under, personally I’d prefer to pay 3 and over as the experience is more for the kiddos anyways. This is very much worth your money.See more..

4.5Klein Farms Dairy and Creamery(135 reviews) - BEST ice cream EVER !! Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Farms
We went in a warmer Saturday (50’s) in February. Small farm with a few animals - donkeys/sheep/goats/pigs/ducks/Guinea hens. A bit muddy but not too bad. No food in the feeders to buy to feed the animals, but the animals were friendly and liked attention. Kids play areas which weren’t huge but nice for a few smaller kids that were there. Small shop to buy hoodies/hats/shirts as well as local products like honey/pate & various cheeses. Best part of this farm is the homemade ice cream. Hands down the BEST ice cream I have ever had ! I’ve been to VT and had fresh made Ben & Jerry’s and this ice cream far surpassed them. I had the coffee toffee carmel bit ice cream and thought I’d died and gone to heaven. Their one scoop is huge and well worth the price. I was surprised at how many people there were for a Saturday in February but after tasting this delight…I totally understand why they were there ! A must go place if you are in the area !See more..

We joined a friend with her three kids for a morning of picking fruit. It wasn’t very crowded and the kids found rows of blackberries, blueberries and apples to pick. Everyone was wearing masks and social distancing. You collected the baskets and bags and later paid at an outside counter, under a tent. Afterwards, the kids enjoyed apple juice and apple cider donuts and played on the wooden tractor. The grounds were very pretty. I will definitely go back in the fall for more apple picking. We drove @40 minutes to this farm, even with an orchard nearby. This farm was worth the drive!See more..

4.5Freddy Hill Farms and Family Fun Center(52 reviews) - Fun day with the family Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM Farms • Game & Entertainment Centers • Miniature Golf
Visited with my grandsons and had a fun day at the miniature golf course and driving range - followed by ice-cream (that is made on site). We played one of the two miniature golf courses available at a very reasonable price. The driving range is large offering both covered stalls with artificial turf or out in the open on grass. Although I did not wander inside, there was also a fairly large pro shop selling golf equipment. The facility also has a baseball batting cage. Afterwards, we enjoyed an ice-cream. A wonderful family day at a very reasonable price.See more..
4.5Strites Orchard(52 reviews) - Try the blueberry pie ! Farms
Strites offers a blueberry pie made with those tiny little Maine blueberries.....and it is well worth the additional cost. Recently bought their blueberry pie to share with neighbors and EVERY single person agreed it was the best blueberry pie they have ever eaten. It was packed with blueberries, not with the usual gel or goo and didn't taste of sugar, just fruit. The crust was terrific, too, and we have a baker in our group who spoke highly of it ! The pies are actually made elsewhere and Strites receives them frozen. They are then baked on site....give them a try soon ! See more..
4.5Arasapha Farms(46 reviews) - SiMPLY THE BEST - BETTER THAN ALL THE REST! Farms
We have gone to Jason's Wood, Sleepy Hollow, the ghost walk in Lancaster, and other haunted woods/events. Arasapha Farms is better than any of these others . We went on the hayride in Sleepy Hollow, NY, and it wasn't 1/4th as good as the hayride at Arasapha Farms. We drive all the way from western NC to go to Arasapha farms. It is THAT good!!See more..

This farm for retired and rescued horses is an amazing family outing. The horses are friendly and come right to the fence to nuzzle and be pet. You can buy food in the visitor's center where everyone is warm & friendly. There is a nice shaded picnic grove, so pack your lunch. Although there is no entry fee, you'll want to make a donation after you've spent time with these gentle loving horses. And you'll want to come back again & again.See more..
5.0Rose Bridge Farm(26 reviews) - Great hands-on fun for the child in all of us! Farms
What an absolute gem of a place! I have driven by the entrance for years, never knowing it was here. There is a little sign on Limekiln Pike. Once you drive in, the fun awaits. My son and i signed up for the one hour Animal Husbandry tour. We loved petting goats, sheep, a small bull, even a big turtle! We also fed baby calves and goats. Baby goats love to nibble on anything! I recommend leaving your handbag in the car and wearing old clothes just in case. What a wonderful hour! The animals are really expensive to feed - hence the admission charge, all for a good cause. (They even had to pay to rescue the 3 baby calves we visited yesterday; and they are feeding the calves round the clock to counteract the difficult circumstances they were rescued from.)See more..
I visited this beautiful farm on a hot Saturday afternoon in July with some family members. Unfortunately the lavender had reached its peak but the sunflowers were absolutely gorgeous.

4.5Oak Grove Farms(22 reviews) - Love shopping here. Speciality & Gift Shops • Farms Stuff is a bit more expensive than you'll find in the grocery store, but whatever we buy here is generally very high quality, and the baked goods are dangerously good. We often shop here for meats and cheeses as well as fruits and veggies, and are rarely disappointed in what we've purchased. Staff of pretty much exclusively young ladies is always pleasant.See more..

4.5Sheeder Mill Farm(20 reviews) - Best Trail Ride Ever Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Farms • Horseback Riding Tours
If there was a way to make this 6 stars I would. My family arranged a 2 hour trail ride. 2 had never ridden a horse. The crew was very professional and gave exceptional instructions. The trails were beautiful and a perfect place to ride. What was really impressive was the condition of the horses. These horses were born and raised on this farm and are not what you typically get when you sign up for a trail ride. The owner is fantastic and really made a huge positive impression on us. I can't say enough about Sheeder Mill Farm.See more..
4.5Sandy Hill Farm(17 reviews) - Best Experience for the Kids Farms
This farm is unique. It offers the kids an opportunity to see and interact with animals from goats and chicks to pigs, rabbits and horses. Its a FARM! It is Nature! Thats why it is good for kids to go places that are like this. The women we had take our kids on pony rides could tell what was best for each child. The price varies from time to time but whatever we pay is fair and reasonable. Don’t worry about cleanliness or bathrooms. This experience is great. Bring carrots See more..

We love to visit Simmons Farm every October. It starts with a hayride from the parking lot to the main building which has fresh fruits, vegetables, baked goods and much more for sale. There’s a small food service, a play area for little ones with shelled corn to shovel and play in, a petting zoo and lots of fall photo backgrounds.

You definitely have to have the innate ability to self-propel through the Rodale Institute. The experience is what you make of it. If you enjoy the solace of being outdoors with a minimal amount of distractions, this may be a great stop for you. As for me, I've been coming here for years. I love to practice my photography skills, get some exercise, and enjoy the outdoors. And, what a treat it is to view the organic plants. Signage exists to educate you about what you are viewing. Animals and fowl live here, too.See more..

4.5Lurgan Greenhouse(9 reviews) - My favorite greenhouse Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Farms Because of this covid pandemic, if that is what you want to call it. I was not able to visit Lurgans as early as I usually do. When I did finally arrive, most that I wanted was pretty much picked out. But to my surprise I was able to find many bargains at a discounted price. I just had to go with different flowers than previously planned. The people there are extremely helpful. I visit at least twice a year. Love the outdoor pond setup. The greenhouse is a little large for me, but I enjoy what I can. I never had a bad experience there. I love the fact that masks are not optional, especially where it was easy enough to keep 6' away from anyone. I specifcially do not wear one myself due to my copd disability, where it makes it hard for me to breathe in. I rarely go out to resturants and grocery stores because of madated masks. I recommend this place to anyone that loves plants and can't wear a mask.See more..
Tip to collectors... if you find something in the barn that isn't priced, ask Sarah. My wife found a treasure trove of salt and pepper shakers, and once she heard the price, she spent an HOUR sorting through them. She purchased 40 pairs and Sarah threw in a few singles. Me, I purchased yummy produce and a lovely bouquet of sunflowers fresh- picked by owner Sarah.See more..
We found Draper’s Bee Apiary as a recommendation in a Kids Love PA tour guide. It recommended that we call ahead and we did. The owner was very kind and spent the better part of an hour telling our family about bees, bee keeping, and honey. We had a tour of the facility and got a taste test. My kids are 18 and 12, and both were very interested in learning all about it. The store is great too- We bought soap, candies, and several kinds of honey (now that we know the difference).See more..

2/28/2015 If you have difficulty finding this location in your GPS it would Newmanstown; not Schaeferstown Pa 17088 Hess Station. Coming from Shady Maple Food Market and Restaurant routes 23 and 897 take 897 North until Schaefferstown. There is a waterworks park down S. Market Street and an old bank next door. Lots of gingerbread on some houses. Really nice. Middlecreek Wildlife Management Center is just down 897 where you can see many geese, ducks when the pond is not frozen. It's also a good fishing spot. This is a great area to visit but would suggest you pack a lunch and Skip the Franklin House Tavern. v See more..
