Tidy and well-organized shelves.
Laura S.

LOVED this fruit farm farm that we discovered while visiting Pennsylvania Dutch Country in late March, 2024. It was a long narrow shop with only a few aisles, but had products to discover (and buy!) at every step. For instance, it was still winter, but there was a good selection of fresh fruits and vegetables -- AND some delicious apple cider. A large selection of bulk nuts, candies, and other snacks, as well as items for baking (flours). Refrigerated and frozen items, including cheeses and meats. Some traditional Amish treats, including Zook's chicken pies (frozen) and sweet Whoopie pies (ready to eat). And more. The customers appeared to be a mix of locals and tourists -- but it didn't feel touristy except for a very small area in which they sold locally-inspired refrigerator magnets. Don't miss the small display along the front wall with live bees making honey. No worries, the bees are behind glass! Parking was free and sufficient, and there were designated spots for this who arrived by horse and carriage. Prices were competitive. There's a clean restroom. One final note for those RVers out there. Kauffman's participates in Harvest Hosts, with the opportunity for members to camp in their beautiful orchards with reservation.

Kauffman's is our favorite quaint grocery store/fruit stand stop when visiting the Lancaster Amish country area. It's filled with typical items you'd want in a small grocery in addition to tons of local produce, honey, snacks, baked goods, and cooking ingredients you probably never think to put on a shopping list. The locally made goods are always fun to taste/try out. Produce can be a little pricey depending on the season, but the majority of the stuff they sell is reasonably priced.

Nice local grocery store filled to the brim with so much. There's even an active beehive in the wall of the store that you can watch through plexiglass. So unusual and interesting see! The people running it are very welcoming and helpful.

Quaint grocery store full to the brim with local goodies. At least a dozen varieties of fresh apples available in bins outside with a smaller variety in baskets inside. A few varieties of pears and champagne grapes were produce options today. Don't miss the Fresh ground peanut butter combos and almond butter created in house with the option to sample in the aisle. Small crowded aisles with Bulk baking items , grains, spices and candies fill shelves alongside every local Snack product made. Small meat counter, freezer and cold item options. Where else have you seen Ice sold by the block lately?! Amish gal outside creating hot fresh cider donuts, a definite treat! Watch the tourists walking in traffic to cross the road for those donuts! They are delicious though.

Welcome!

This fruit stand / farmers market is reasonably priced and staff os very friendly. They don't have "fifty" items but all kinds of traditional PA Dutch food. U can see locals shopping. At the day progresses - it gets more and more crowded. Definitely worth checking out.

Nice little Amish bulk store from produce meats breads and little things you don't see in your everyday grocery store. It's in a very open area with Amish buggy rides which I will do on my next trip. Lots of open country if you like to go for drives and relax.

This was a worth while stop while in and around Lancaster county. They had a large variety of bulk baking good, pantry staples, honey, locally made dairy items and fresh fruits from the orchard, etc... They freshly press cider and you can try a sample to decide if it is worth it (it is!). The prices are better than the touristy stops (like the shops in kitchen kettle village) for comparable items. Staff is friendly and helpful. Word of caution: look carefully at the prepackaged peanut butters that are near the machine where it looks like they were freshly ground - it maybe not be. Some items are not only 100% fresh ground peanuts it has stabilizers and additives so be warned.

Kauffman's is a small boutique Amish grocery store. They are know for amazing fresh apple cider, dried bulk goods and local fresh fruits and vegetables. It's definitely a must if you are in the area. Parking can be a little difficult since there is not a lot of parking space. The staff is super friendly and prices are decent for the good quality food! I'll continue to drive an hour for this experience!

This was my family's second time coming back here. My kids were just 3 years old the first time…read morethey came here and loved it. I took them back recently, as they're about to turn 6 years old, and this was the perfect age. There are a variety of experiences you can do here. We did the standard farm tour that includes a 5 minute wagon ride, where kids can drive! And then you go to the farm. On this last trip, there was a little confusion on the tour portion. I think they didn't realize our whole group was waiting. I ended up going up and found someone who managed to find one of the Amish women to give us a tour. On the tour, you'll see baby animals, feed the horses, bottle feed a calf, see baby chicks, and pigs. Then at the end, you can reach under chickens and pull out eggs from the nest. My kids could have stayed here all day. They also have a playground on site, tricycles, and a little shop where you can buy dairy products. Definitely worth a stop here!

We booked the Amish farm fun combo $30 per person 1.5 hours. We got there early so they put us on…read morean earlier time. However what they put us on was the regular Armish farm fun $22 per person for 1 hour. The difference is the combo one includes gardening and barrel train ride. But anyway, we realized it as the tour ended after one hour. We didn't bring it up since my children actually wanted to leave because of the hot summer heat. I will recommend the $22 basic tour. It was packed with action and after one hour, my kids had enough of the farm ( we also visited the miniature horse farm next door before this) and long for AC. The tour started with a hayride around the farm, about 8 min ride. Then we went indoor at the animal barns to cuddle: chicken, ducklings, bunnies, kittens, piglets , feed Cheetos to pigs and watch them go down the slides, bottle feed the cows, milk a cow and collect eggs ( pick one up and put in a basket). It was fulled of actions. Strongly recommended this $22 basic farm tour. While you are waiting for your tour, you can kill time by playing at the playground ( under full sun) or go indoor to the corn box for free.

Last year, my Adventure Buddy and I spotted Cherry Crest Adventure Farm while riding the Strasburg…read moretrain and made a mental note to come back someday. Fast forward to a beautiful, sunny Saturday in early October when we realized we'd be nearby with an open adventure slot. WELL, HELLO, CHERRY CREST! We purchased our tickets online ahead of time for significant savings and arrived around noon, apparently at the exact same time as EVERY OTHER HUMAN BEING IN PENNSYLVANIA. The parking fields were packed. Admission lines looked enormous. For a moment, I wondered what we'd gotten ourselves into. But the parking attendants were doing a great job directing traffic, parking was FREE (thank you!), and the admission lines moved surprisingly quickly. Before long, we had our wristbands and were ready to adventure. FIRST STOP: THE DONUT HUT. We grabbed two apple cider donuts and a bottle of apple cider and both exceeded my hopes! The donut was so fresh and hot I had to wait for it to cool before digging in! Soft, fluffy, generously coated in cinnamon sugar and absolutely delicious! If this was how Cherry Crest intended to welcome me, we were going to get along just fine! Next up was the main reason we'd come: THE CORN MAZE! I did my first corn maze last year and decided to make it an annual tradition. Cherry Crest had the honor of being my Corn Maze #2. I'm no corn maze expert, but, this one had some really fun twists! Instead of simply wandering around hoping to eventually find civilization again, we were given a blank grid and tasked with finding pieces throughout the maze to tape onto it, gradually completing our map. There were also hidden clues for a crossword puzzle! A corn maze WITH SIDEQUESTS?! SIGN. ME. UP! We navigated our way through the intermediate maze in less than the estimated 40 minutes, which was both surprising and satisfying. We found our way out, completed our adventure and didn't have to call anyone to rescue two grown adults from a field of corn. CORN MAZE 2026: COMPLETE! From there, we wandered around exploring the property. It was definitely busy, with plenty of families, strollers and wagons, but still manageable. Patience is key on a beautiful fall Saturday, especially when apparently the entire Commonwealth has decided to celebrate autumn simultaneously. Eventually, we made our way to the other side of the farm for what turned out to be my FAVORITE activities of the day. APPLE CANNONS AND PAINTBALL! Of course we'd purchased the optional add-ons. You think I'm going to stand next to a giant cannon that launches actual apples and NOT pay to shoot it?! The lines were a little long, but they moved along nicely. And once it was my turn? PEW PEW, MOTHER NATURE! I had an absolute BLAST launching apples at targets and managed to hit almost everything I aimed for! Then we moved to the paintball range, where I continued my surprisingly impressive performance, knocking over targets with lime green paintballs! Apparently I've been walking around for 40+ years without realizing I have a natural talent for recreational projectile launching. WHO KNEW?! Both activities were absolutely worth the additional cost. If you're visiting as an adult and enjoy a little friendly target practice, don't skip them! Another thing that caught my attention was the reservable fire pit areas scattered throughout the property. They had little pavilions and signs identifying the groups who'd reserved them. We saw everything from birthday celebrations to retirement gatherings, and I thought that was such a cool way to spend a fall afternoon with friends or family. Food prices seemed fairly typical for an attraction. I noticed a double cheeseburger with fries advertised for $17.99, for example. But I also spotted groups with birthday cakes, two-liter bottles of soda and bags of chips at their fire pit areas. I'm not sure what Cherry Crest's outside food policies are, so I'd recommend checking before bringing your own picnic. If it's permitted, though, that could be a great way to keep costs down, especially for families! All told, we spent about two hours exploring Cherry Crest as two adults in our 40s, and we had a GREAT time! Would families with children get even more out of it? ABSOLUTELY. There are so many activities geared toward younger kids that I could easily see families spending an entire day here. But don't assume you need children to enjoy Cherry Crest. Between the corn maze, fall treats, apple cannons, paintball and general autumn atmosphere, there's plenty of fun for grown-ups, too! I came for a corn maze, discovered a surprisingly accurate apple-cannon aim, ate an outstanding donut and added another destination to my annual fall adventure list. Not bad for a couple of hours in a cornfield! Nice job, Cherry Crest! I'll absolutely be back!

This place is ok - if you don't mind parking a mile or more away from the entrance, walking forever…read moreto get to a line to wait to get in for an hour all with kids in tow. This is so poorly laid out. They have no maximum and just let hundreds if not thousands of people in all day long. This part of their ticketing was my favorite: - Pre-purchased admissions are NON-REFUNDABLE for any reason and expire at the end of the season. - We are a weather dependent business and may need to close due to weather. So it's a giant F.U. if something comes up in your life for your family or something happens to you. But if it rains - it's F the buyer you're beat. No refunds. Nothing. What a completely ass backward way or running a business that's CLEARLY not hurting for profit. I'll never take my family here. I'll tell everyone I know it's a collasal waste of money and not worth driving hours to get to only to be directed up a mountain to park. You think my little kids were ready to walk A MILE to stand in line for AN HOUR?! lol. What a joke.
