I had already visited Hollabaugh Bros. during last summer's Blueberry Festival and had such a great experience that when I realized my Sunday adventure schedule would put me only about 20 minutes away from their 11th Annual Strawberry Festival, there was absolutely no question about whether I was going. Add in the fact that I had just finished a 4.5-mile hike and was STARVING? This became an immediate priority. I arrived around 12:15pm and was immediately impressed by how smoothly everything was running. One of several parking attendants guided me to a super-close parking spot, and within minutes I was heading toward the festivities. Kudos to Hollabaugh Bros. for absolutely nailing the logistics. No confusion. No backed-up traffic. No chaos. Just friendly people efficiently moving visitors through the process so everyone could get to the important business of strawberries. The festival itself was packed with exactly the kind of charm you'd hope for from a family farm celebration. The event featured live music, local artisan vendors, wagon rides, food trucks, strawberry desserts, and enough strawberry-themed treats to make any berry lover ridiculously happy. One of my favorite parts was discovering that they had once again set up the indoor tasting room. Last year this was one of my favorite parts of the Blueberry Festival, and the strawberry version was just as much fun. Staff members encouraged visitors to sample everything from strawberry salsa and syrups to dips and warm strawberry crisp. They were also offering samples of several sausage varieties sold in the market. I tried one, immediately fell in love with it, and ended up bringing a package home with me before leaving. The market itself was filled with strawberry-themed goodies alongside Hollabaugh's regular offerings, but I had one mission. Last year, I missed out on the famous Blueberry Sugar Cakes and spent an embarrassingly long amount of time thinking about that mistake afterward. So this year I was determined not to repeat history. When I spotted Strawberry Sugar Cakes, I practically lit up. The only problem? They were sold in packs of six, and while I enjoy sugar as much as the next person, even I have limits. I asked one of the employees if it might be possible to buy just one. Instead, she kindly repackaged three for me and sold me a smaller portion. My blood sugar, my waistline, and my future self all deeply appreciated the compromise! Outside, I made my way to the strawberry dessert tent where they were serving strawberry sundaes, strawberry crisp, and strawberry milkshakes. Since I'd been craving a milkshake all morning, that decision was easy. Armed with my strawberry milkshake and my precious strawberry sugar cakes, I found a sunny bench near the live musician and settled in. And honestly? That was probably my favorite part of the entire day. The weather was beautiful. The acoustic music was playing softly nearby. Families wandered through the festival. Kids ran around enjoying the activities. People chatted, laughed, sampled treats, and enjoyed a perfect late-spring afternoon. Meanwhile, I sat there happily bopping along to the music, eating strawberry sugar cake, sipping one of the best strawberry milkshakes I've had in a long time, and appreciating the fact that sometimes the best adventures are the simple ones. At this point, festivals at Hollabaugh Bros. are becoming two things for me: a chance to grab specific treats I know I'm going to love, and an opportunity to spend a few hours soaking up one of the most relaxed, welcoming, and enjoyable atmospheres around. Reasonable prices. Fantastic staff. Plenty of parking. Great food. Great events. Zero stress! I absolutely love this place and can't wait for their next fruit festival adventure!
