This is a smaller, but well-supplied farm stand, a REAL farm stand, on Bunker Hill Road in…read moreMiddletown. You turn right on Bunker Hill from 301 heading South, or you continue on Main Street (299) at the big intersection with 301 near Wawa and Lowes. About 3 miles down the road, on the right is a flag and you drive down a gravel drive to the farm stand behind strawberry fields and corn fields. The Filaskys grow table corn "John's Corn" which is sweet and delicious and always very fresh. They also have strawberries, including u-pick in season. The rest of the farm stand has jams, preserves, local and non-local produce and Woodside Ice Cream, which is a locally made dairy ice cream that is incredibly rich and good. My favorite items are the corn, tomatoes (perhaps not as good as the famous Jersey tomatoes) and their zucchini. One year, they grew a gray variety that was incredible, but I haven't seen it since. Perhaps gray zucchini didn't resonate with buyers but the squash is always very good. Peaches are also local, Delaware being a peach growing state that lost its status as a US Peach Capital after the Yellow Peach Blight of the early 20th Century. But you can still see the "peach mansions" in Middletown's pretty downtown area and off 301. In season, you will find flats of annuals and perennials. These are very healthy; I still have a clump of dianthus I bought a decade ago, going strong, and the begonias and impatiens are particularly good. The selection will depend on the growing season. This is a pretty spot, on a pretty road heading into Maryland and worth a detour, if you like farm stands. Just, have a cooler with ice handy because you'll really want to bring some Woodside vanilla ice cream home with you.

3.5 stars, rounded up…read more This spot is more of a outpost rather than a fully stocked farmers market. Therefore, don't expect an unlimited selection. However, they do have a number of items, including honey, jam, butter. In particular, the bacon here looked pretty good as well. One of the more important products this time of year (well, IDK when i'm going to publish this review, but I came here around early October) seems to be the pumpkins. They kind of have one of those things where you can pick out your own pumpkin in their pumpkin patch. The greatest thing about this place, in my opinion, is that despite kind of being further away from whatever one might designate as the city center out here... they take card! This was hugely appreciated, and enabled me to make my purchase, since I rarely bring cash around with me. This really pushes the 3.5 up to a 4.0

On this visit, I tried the Blueberry Banana Smoothie and the Turkey Sandwich at their cafe. The smoothie was incredible, vibrant purple, perfectly thick. The turkey sandwich was equally impressive; the bread was toasted to a perfect golden brown, and the balance of the melted cheese and sauce made for a great brunch. Beyond the cafe, it's the perfect spot to grab some fresh fruits and baked goods for home. Definitely a local gem!

We stopped in for peaches over the summer but left with nothing. There were lots of options, but…read moremany of the things we could find at a grocery store with better prices and potentially better quality. The peaches were hard which was a disapointment. We were hoping to find peaches that were more ripe because they were local. We found about two peaches that were a little softer but they had no smell. I was suprised that there were so few local items. If I wanted goods made in PA, I'd go to PA. I asked which produce items were local and it sounded like almost none of them. You can get baked goods, produce, bottled and jarred items like pickes, candy, meats, and "homemade" deli items. There were plants for purchase, some outdoor furniture, and a cafe. The best part of the place ended up being the animals. We fed some goats and took a phot with the large bull statue. I think this would be a great place to bring kids to see the animals. I don't think it's worth the drive if you're staying on the coast because it's mostly grocery store quality produce and items you can get for less elsewhere. But, if you need something to do with kids and you're close by, it's worth a stop.

There is so much to do for kids--feeding the baby farm animals and the games. I love the market with all of the fresh produce, baked goods and sauces/spices. They also have scheduled seasonal events. I believe they lost their apple crop this year due to weather but it looks like there will still be many fun activities and the market availability starting June 5. I highly recommend a trip to Milburn Orchards.

I've been to a lot of pumpkin farms but baaaaaaby I have never tasted ACD like this. They had a nice crisp crunch on the outside and were soft on the inside. Oh, and they were HOT and FRESH!!!! *Caramel Apple Cider Donut Sundae-THE BEST!!! HANDS DOWN!!!! This is available at The Deck and you need to make sure you get one or maybe two because you won't want to share. Delicious vanilla ice cream at the bottom, apple cider donut. Then another layer of ice cream, topped with whipped cream and then a full donut and a caramel drizzle on top.

It is the very good quality and taste of berries I enjoyed as well as personal touch by the owner of the farm. They still have some strawberry left, it is sweet and very fragrant, it is almost like in a famouse Swedish movie " Strawberry Patch", also in the movie is a wild strawberry. We enjoyed our red and black raspberries which are abundant and delicious this year. If you are a bluberry fan, you should come next week for the delicious treat! Bluberry is almost ready; sweat and sour, big and appetizing. The rain did not spoil our experience and a beautiful rainbow was like a prize we received from God. Come to Lititz to enjoy the farm and plenty of wonderful berries. I also collected some berry leaves to make my teas.
