Produce Farms near Lancaster, PA

Lancaster

Strawberries on Buch Avenue in the Manheim Township area just north of Lancaster city. In Lancaster County the pick-your-own strawberry window is short and early, usually opening around Memorial Day and running a few weeks into June. A stand this close to town draws steady local traffic, so berries can sell out on peak weekends before the fields reopen.

Millersville

Lititz

A pick-your-own berry farm on Disston View Drive near Lititz in Lancaster County. Berry growers here open with strawberries and cherries in late spring, then move into summer raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries as each ripens. It sits in one of Pennsylvania's most heavily farmed counties, where roadside fruit is a fixture of the season. Field openings shift with the weather, so check current picking conditions before loading up the family.

Holtwood

Herrcastle Farm grows and purveys fruit and vegetables from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania — from their farm to your table. The farm on Douts Hill Road in Holtwood is open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

New Holland

A produce operation on Division Highway, Route 322, in New Holland in eastern Lancaster County. This is some of the most productive farmland in the Northeast, and roadside stands here carry sweet corn, tomatoes, peppers, and other vegetables from early summer through fall. Seasonal fruit often shows up on the tables alongside the vegetables as each crop comes in.

Rexmont

A produce grower in Rexmont, a small village in southern Lebanon County near Cornwall. Farms in this pocket of the county sell garden vegetables and seasonal fruit from roadside stands through the summer and into fall. The selection follows the harvest, moving from early greens and berries to sweet corn, tomatoes, and squash as the weeks go on.

Red Lion

East Earl

A produce stand on Weaverland Road in East Earl, in the northeastern corner of Lancaster County's farm country. The surrounding Weaverland Valley is heavily Plain-community farmland, where family stands sell garden vegetables, small fruit, and seasonal items straight from the field. The selection tracks the calendar: greens and berries early, then corn, tomatoes, and pumpkins as summer turns to fall.

Coatesville

York

A blueberry farm on Butter Road northwest of York. Blueberries ripen over several weeks in this part of Pennsylvania, generally from early July into August, which gives pick-your-own farms a longer season than the quick strawberry window. Fields open once the first berries color up, so a quick call confirms whether picking is on before you drive out.
