We went to Lapp Valley farm for the most creamy and delicious ice cream…read more Very short distance from it is the village farm market. It is a beautiful farm filled with trees, plants, succulents... anything you need for your flower/plant needs. But it is a secret gem that hides the most amazing sandwich shop in the area. It is filled with fresh bread, baked goods and most amazing pies, fresh fruit and vegetables. But all of it hides this amazing sandwich shop that has one of the best Philly Cheese Steaks. It is gooey with melted cheese and if you ask for chopped hot peppers... you can get the perfect blend of banana peppers and jalapeño peppers to get the kick! You don't want to miss this store if you are in the area! We stayed in a nearby Airbnb tiny home. You can't beat the kind attentive service and the care by which they make every sandwich. Everything is so fresh and well made! No indoor seating... so be ready for the heat if you plan to eat here.

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.

For those who don't live in Lancaster, PA; it's a "thing" and a good "thing" at that. There was an overwhelming response for Kissel Hill and so, that's where I vowed to be, on a Saturday, arriving at around 11:15. The barbecue masses, showed up at 10am. I figured this must have been the case, because when I arrived, there were no more leg/thigh combos, grilled sliced potatoes - sold out, except for one, which we snagged (the last potato) and grilled carrots - gone. If you plan on going to an Amish barbecue stand, get there EARLY. The consensus (among myself & hubby), potato - under cooked, chicken lacked essential flavors derived from smoke and brining, meat wasn't as tender as was expected, completely out of napkins and forks?? Oh crap! Come on Kissel, I know this isn't your first rodeo. Some Amish bbq stands include whoopie pies, this was not one of them. Sadly, even the roll was not up to par; it was stale. Oh man. No worries, Lancaster County has lots of contenders out there and I aim to try all of them. There is small adjoining market with a ton of apples, onions, potatoes, pie filling, pickles, noodles, baked goods, flowers, dairy items and more.

I'm really lucky to live near it. Get a picture of your kids sitting on the fake cow. They love it. My niece still calls it magical and she is 27. She went there all her life for an ice cream and a picture of her on the cow and to play on the playground and the cattle shoot.

Stopped at Aldi's for a few things after not finding them at the discount store down the street…read more Although Giant is next door I choose Aldi's because I like their cut mangos. They cut them at the peak of perfection and for only $3.99 a package it's a healthy affordable snack. Giant tends to cut theirs too early and therefore never ripen properly. Aside from mangos I needed almond milk, hamburger, chicken thighs, and fresh cilantro. I'm not really a fan of Aldi's because it's hard to do a weeks' worth of shopping here plus the deposit on the cart and not offering free bags is a nuisance. This was my first time at this location. I was surprised to see the fresh produce was picked thru. Many selections were empty. Including my beloved sliced mangos and cilantro. The meat dept was priced really high, but I was able to find organic, grass fed hamburger at a reasonable price and much less than non-organic which makes no sense. I had my own bags with me but the 2 half gallons of milk were heavy and awkward to hold and carry. There was only one lone cashier and the line extended into the shopping isle. A customer that was checking out and at the register was chatting away with the previous customer thus delaying her payment, while everyone in line just stood there. The cashier did nothing to hurry her along. Sighs echoed from all of us waiting and was testing my patience level. When it was my turn I arranged my reusable bags in the cashier's cart so all she had to do was drop the items in after scanning. Instead she proceeded to dump everything in the cart beside my bags. When I asked her to please place them in the bags, she refused, uttering about some customer "policy". I've found other locations will place items in the bags IF you arrange them in the cart. What kind of "policy" is so anti customer service focused that they only have one cashier, who sits down the whole time no less, AND is allowed to refuse to put items in the bags?!? In fact she went out of her way to drop them away from the bag. To dump in the bag or beside it takes the same amount of effort. So now I have to hold up the line scooping my items up myself so she could have her coveted cart back. Ugh! I'm graciously giving 2 stars because they offered hand sanitizer and I do love those mangos. But seriously Aldi's - you need to start putting your customers first!

Your Friday just got better. If you are visiting Lancaster for the weekend (or day), the Farmer's…read moreMarket is conveniently nearby. Plan accordingly since these sellers only gather on Friday. The items for sale include home made goods, fresh produce, meats, jams, toiletries, furniture, souvenirs, electronic gadgets and items you didn't know you needed (wanted). The layout of the grounds are listed on the website. I like parking by building six. Most of my "wish list" vendors were clustered in or near the building. It is easier to keep track of where we parked too. Allow extra time to carefully drive around the area. Shoppers are focused on moving to their destination and not always paying attention to safely walking. Wear comfortable shoes. You will be walking on hard floors inside the buildings and uneven terrain outside (gravel, grass, dirt). Bring several shopping bags. Not all of the sellers take credit cards. Cash is preferred. Bring small bills. Some businesses will negotiate prices if you are buying several items. Food is everywhere. Many places allow sampling. The home made cheeses are incredible. The popular stations are going to have a line. The lines move quickly. Pretzels are the reason we chose to visit. I enjoyed watching the entire creating process. Bring zip lock bags. Those wax bags get soggy after walking around. Make sure you eat one after it was made to savor the flavor. Try mustard and cheese dip to get the full pretzel experience. There are tables throughout the property. The donuts are magazine worthy. We got a half dozen ($9 ish dollars). You might want to bring hand wipes to use after enjoying a yummy sweet treat. Pay attention to where you parked. There is a good chance you will need to unload bags in your car and start the shopping process over. Hubby had a belt measured and made for him. It was interesting to watch the holes being put in. There were dozens of styles and varied materials. This was a fun (and exhausting) experience. I love Avon purchases in person where I am walking away with products in hand and not waiting for a delivery. Lapp ice cream is a must. There isn't a limit on sampling. There is something for everyone. Since we had lots of activities planned for the weekend, I researched the stores and layout of the area to make the best of my time. The items inside a building or store are more quality than some of the products spread out on tables outside. It is also convenient sitting inside to grab a bite. I hope to return sometime.

Swimming with the ladies at gym and one of them goes on about Green Hills grocery store and how there's a line out the door, on saturday morning. Now you got me as I lean closer towards her. She continues, excitedly and exclaims how wonderful their deli section is. Of course, the Yelper that I am, has to go and check out this grocery store. Though it's set-up is similar to Aldi, it also reminds me of Marshalls. There is a deli and their prices for meat and cheese are at least $4 off per pound, from the other nearby grocery stores. Yes; it's true and the selection looks good. Their grab and go section, has huge hoagie sandwiches, priced at $5.99 and enough to feed two people, piled high slices of swiss and salads. Green Hills has lots of snacks, granola bars, hot sauces, a little of this and that, no beef/chicken/poultry, sparse veg and fruit, limited household and hygiene products. There is a small selection of frozen foods, where I happened to spot Little Debbie ice-cream! Be sure to check the expiration dates on products, some items I've seen had expired. There are lots of good and unexpected buys for the savvy shopper.
