1. 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 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.

We enjoyed a trip through the wonderful farmland in Lancaster County to find this delightful gourd farm. The decorated gourds were inspiration for us to buy a couple to design and paint birdhouses on our own. The project will be easier because the pre-cut holes make the gourds ready for use as birdhouses. There are gourds of every shape and size for the crafty person to make their own creation...not just birdhouses.

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!

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.

Reviewed By BikeLike - Coatesville, PA
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.

If you are interested in carriage harness, Yonies is a must see while you are in the area. We have done phone business for quite a while and it was great to be able to stop, meet the people we deal with and get a personal tour of the shop. This is a must see location with great people.

Popped in to see a friend and discovered this spot. If you are a golfer, this is a great find, driving range, indoor putting, chip & put course, miniature golf course and a pro shop. You can get lessons here.
But it has go carts for the teens and older, miniature golf, a café with reasonable prices and good snacks. I met someone for lunch and it was a snack type lunch.
They are planning car events for the summer.

Conebella Farm Cheese is made from all natural ingredients with the milk from our own cows, which is both antibiotic free and hormone free. Our experienced cheese maker creates a variety of Cheddar and Colby based cheeses, including Garlic & Chive, Jalapeno and Italian as well as a line of preservative-free cheese spreads. Taste the difference in this creamy, buttery cheese made from pure Ayrshire milk. Find our cheese at many area farm markets, or stop by our farm from sunrise to sunset 6 days a week.

The familys grandfather imported a herd of Aurshire cows 90 years ago, a rarity in this area. The cows provide a distinctivee milk with gentle taste - perfect for making good cheese.
Working with a nearby cheese artisan, the owners produce a wide variety of Cheddar and Colby cheeses, with flavors running from horseeraddish to Jalapenio.
The cheese has a unique taste and you quickly becomeee addicted to it.
This is a working farm and ther visitor's room is tiny, but the couple that run the place are extremeely hospitable. For cheese lovers, this is a must stop in eastern Pennsylvania.
