Whoa, this is quite impressive. Check out Linvilla Orchards’ new attraction ~ their Hydroponic Display of strawberries and basil.

Oley Valley Organics, located in Oley, Berks County, is a small family run farm specializing in organically grown asparagus, strawberries, and raspberries as well as handmade holiday wreaths. I haven’t visited yet, but I plan to stop by when I get up that way again. I wish I’d known about them earlier in the season; [...]
I was delighted to discover Fisher’s Farm in Oley, Berks County, when I got lost one day on my way to Wholesome Dairy Farms. Fisher’s is a small roadside stand where they sell their own homegrown fruits and vegetables and occasionally produce from other local area producers. They are located right on Route 662 where [...]

A friend turned me on to Willow Creek Orchards in Collegeville, Montgomery County, for organic strawberry picking. I drove out to see what it was about and was delighted to discover a gorgeous farm store that was spacious and welcoming. The strawberries take center stage — tables of them grace the tables in the middle [...]
Farmer’s Daughter is located in Spring City, Chester County. I’ve been frequenting the Farmer’s Daughter for over four years, as it’s right down the road from my home. I love that I’m supporting a family owned business, and I love even more that much of their produce is homegrown. It’s not organic, but most of [...]
