We had such a nice tour of all of their medicinal plants, native flowers, organic vegetables and fruit and nut trees. BEST OF ALL They offer Consultations, designs, and help installing and with maintenance. MY FRIEND AND I are both going to hire Bear Creek Organics to cone out to help on our homestead. WE have so many questions about how to grow food and how to avoid mistakes and which varieties to plant and so much more. RICHIE has knowledge on all of this and helped us so much just in one visit to the farm to purchase trees. SO we can't wait to bring him out to our property for a consultation. ​

Their knowledge of the plant world is expansive, and they love helping, whether you've hired them for consultation, or just stopped in to chat. On top of that, they spend time helping local schools and the communities around them. 10/10, I can't recommend enough.

Today I attended the Herb Planting Class at Kospia Farms. First I want to comment that with…read moreeverything going on at the Farm today in celebration of Mothers, it was very well organized. Behind the greenhouse, we had a delightful time listening to our instructors who clearly have worked side by side at the farm. Educational facts about herbs with a sprinkling of humor began the event. It is so wonderful to attend a class where they share their knowledge about the herbs and their uses. They give you salient advice that helps you decide on which herbs fit the taste profile you enjoy so you build your herb pot on what fits you. Then to top it all off they gave us a handout that covered trimming, drying and pairing herbs as well as a few recipes! A wonderful experience! Thank you for making my Mother's day extra special!

THEY DID A HORRIBLE JOB!!!…read more I WISH I COULD GIVE NEGATIVE ONE HUNDRED STARS!!! I needed my two trees trimmed by the power lines. I hired this company expecting a better job than the free service provided by the electric company. I should have saved my money and let the tree trimmers from the electric company butcher my trees! He came to my house approximately one week prior to ask what I wanted trimmed and to provide a quote. I explained what I wanted trimmed and what I specifically did not want cut. He cut and removed everything I specifically said not to. The trees use to shade my driveway and protect the vehicles from the summer sun. He removed most of those branches despite my saying not to. The tree in front of my home use to provide privacy when sitting on my front porch. He completely thinned out / removed all small branches leaving the truck and a few big branches on that tree up to approximately 20 feet and stopped. It is totally bare up to 20 feet then it looks like nothing else was touched. I specifically said not to remove any of those branches because they provided privacy. It looks like someone went wild cutting all branches less than 6 inch across as far as their ladder could reach and then quit. That tree looks absolutely HORRIBLE! Every time I exit my front door I have to look at the tree he butchered. It gives me a sickening feeling every time I look at it!!! To top it all off, he missed several branches that are over and/or extremely close to the power lines. Trimming the branches near the power lines was the main job. I am temporarily crippled from an auto accident and can barely walk. What was the point of having me walk through the yard for over a half an hour explaining what I wanted trimmed if he was going to ignore what I said and do it his way? Actually, my instructions were only 5 or 6 sentences for the two trees. The rest of the time was small talk about my injury and how he healed himself of a similar injury. How hard is it to remember 5 or 6 sentences? It is going to take a decade, or most likely multiple decades, for the trees to regrow and provide the privacy and shade that my home, front porch, and driveway use to have. His inability to follow simple instructions has definitely lowered my property value. I would have made out better if I found some drugged out junky in need of a fix and gave him a hit off of a crack pipe to cut every branch I pointed to.

Smucker Gardens knows how to kick off fall in style! My first visit was for their 2025 Mum…read moreFestival, and let me tell you--it was everything I hoped for and then some. The Scene: Easy to find on GPS, well-signed from the road, and plenty of parking in the gravel lot. Their greenhouses are massive and overflowing with plants, and inside the main building you'll find home décor, gifts, and seasonal goodies galore. Prices lean a touch higher than some other local greenhouses, but given the location and setup, it felt fair. The Mum Festival: Perfectly organized. Food trucks up front (grab a bite first, wander later--smart!), vendor tents sprinkled throughout, live music filling the air, and kids' activities that looked like pure joy. It was a warm, sunny September Saturday--ideal fall fest weather. The Adventure: While mums and pumpkins were great for the vibe, my main goal was something a little...unexpected. The ad mentioned camel rides. Yes, CAMEL rides. At a mum fest. At 40 years old, I had never ridden a camel, and I wasn't about to miss my shot. I called ahead to confirm that the "kids activity" was indeed open to grown-ups, too. Fast forward to the fest--I see the sign: "Camel Rides $10 Per Person." Ten bucks for a once-in-a-Central-PA-lifetime adventure? SOLD. Nervous, excited, and slightly in disbelief, I climbed aboard. And it was everything I hoped it would be--totally worth the thrill (and the bragging rights). The Food: Yummy eats from food trucks and coffee from Brewboxx to keep the energy high. Perfect fuel for festival hopping. All in all: a fun, unique, and memorable event. Smucker Gardens is worth a visit on any regular day--but during Mum Fest? Add it to your fall bucket list.

Consistent delays and lies in the office of promised dayes and calls. No calls since the order was purchased. Finally I gave up forst of Dec, yes, December. Tried calling, now closed during the week even though I was told in Oct that they would be open thru out the winter. Omission of details is still lying. I called my credit card to start the chargeback process, found another company to deliver. Ordered on a Monday, delivered on Thursday. But guess what, now suddenly Floods deivered their order. No calls, no communications. Again, something has changed. Please be aware and get everything in writing and be prepared for legal path if contract is not fullfilled. Horrible experience and will no longer do any business with this unprofessional company.
