We were staying in Bird In Hand and saw an ad for this store. It was much larger than anticipated and had many offerings.
I mainly went for cheese and found a good selection at very reasonable prices but they do offer sandwiches, ice cream and more. Well worth the ride from Bird In Hand.

A few weeks ago my girls and I went to Weavers Orchard to pick berries and cherries. Though I am not a fan of raspberries and this year the strawberries were a bit small. The cherries were amazing!!!! Yellow and dark red cherries, the sweetest...MoreThanks for your review, and we are so glad you enjoyed the cherries. Hope you made it back to pick peaches as well!
3. Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site

Reviewed By gerry712 - Greater Cincinnati
If it was larger I would have rated Hopewell Furnace a solid 5, rather than the 4 I gave. My daughter and I choose visiting Hopewell Furnace because it was part of the National Park system and only about 1 hour from Allentown, PA. But we discovered a real gem when we got there. Learned about a key element of the development of our nation's industrial capability from prior to the US gaining its independence, the production of iron and the community that supported it. And after a wonderful self-guided tour and sand-casting demonstration, we picked apples from the historic site's orchard! Now how's that for fun?

I live near this parkway and you can always here when they are racing. The keystones are always a blast and you can see famous drag racers, I've met tons and even gotten their autographs. Even when there are smaller race weekends it's a lot of fun and a local venue to just get out and watch some races.

Flat out a foodie destination. The fresh vegetables and fruit, so many from the Amish and Mennonite soil of Lancaster Pennsylvania, will sate your figurative salad bowl. Watch out for half peck discount specials of slightly blemished produce, all of which would pass most any muster.
Their bakery rivals some of the best I have experienced in the Park Slope and Midwood sections of Brooklyn during their hay days.
Then there's Pizza, put together by Pennsylvania Dutch ladies. Plain, sausage, vegetable, and the ultimate, Philly Cheese Steak Pizza. The last is a perfect amalgam of regional comfort food. If you find an egg broken on your pizza superb, you'll understand the cheese steak pizza.
The fresh fish department vends cod fish cakes. Yes, fresh ones are hard to find. And indeed they offer a wide variety of whole fish too.
It's the meat department, though, where I discover fresh (unsmoked) kielbasa and try three pounds for a New Years feast. The results were worth the effort.
Cut into two inch pieces, I braised each slightly on two sides in peanut oil and remove to a crock pot. Then a Slavic sort of roux arises when I sautée two chopped onions, three cloves of crushed garlic, and two tablespoons of prepared mustard thinned with a dash of vodka in the remaining oil. To this gets added sauerkraut, drained but not rinsed, white pepper, paprika, salt and all mixed over heat to blend.
This roux is then layered with the kielbasa in the slow cooker to which we add 12 ounces of Belgian styled ale, and a quarter cup of Chablis to cover. Cook on low for eight hours. Overnight the crock pot in a cold barn or garage, then cook two more hours on high.
Some of my harshest critics (in laws don't you know) claim this to be the best I've ever made. I credit the Amish for a perfect Kielbasa z Kapusta Kiszona.
Happy new year!

I can't think of a better place to shop, given the wide variety of items available. It is clean and quiet ... with tons of selections to browse about. The prices may be a little bit higher that the usual brick-and-mortar department store giants .... but it is well worth it for the cleanliness, courtesy and choices available. It has to be experienced to be understood.
We go there quite often and are never disappointed. And, yes, bargains of quality items are also often presented.

8. Lapp Valley Farm

I love stopping at Lapp Valley Farm! The employees (all Amish and Mennonite to my knowledge) are kind, hospitable and helpful.The store itself is kept immaculately clean and always smells of their homemade waffle cones. The flavors of ice cream offered vary by day, however each one I have tried has been delicious. Prices are also very reasonable making it affordable for families. Just a word to the wise, serving sizes are generous so you if you aren't too hungry maybe just stick with one scoop!
Weather permitting, I love eating my ice cream on their wrap around porch which overlooks the surrounding countryside. Some of the dairy's cats may stop by to say hello while you are on the porch too!
Another fun part about visits here is stopping to visit the dairy cows and the calves!
On a side note, they do have a drive through in case you want to take your ice cream to go!

We come to Hibernian often. It's a great place for short hikes and walking the dog. There are a few different trails, all easy.
10. Uncle Henry's Pretzel Bakery
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Jay S - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
What a great experience! This is the real deal..authentic 100% hand made pretzels. Don't expect to find these in many stores but they sell as many as they can make. Pretzel production is in a barn on a small farm between Lancaster and Reading. The pretzel makers are all fairly young Mennonite women who work at breakneck speed to hand twist the pretzels and get them in the giant revolving oven (which stays on 24 hours a day). Other women (staff are all female) sort the pretzels as they come out of the oven. You can buy them there or over the internet-and they are wonderful-good as the saying goes.
