A decent farm market with a good selection of items. I found most things to be overpriced compared to other farm markets in Central PA. We were looking for fresh apples and apple cider, and were surprised with the high cost for each of these items. The cider was ok, but we will probably visit other farm markets in the area for our produce. read more

OMG!!! I used to visit in late July each year and would buy my elderly father their peaches. Was just there after many years, and got the large peaches. They were just as ripe and sweet and juicy as I remembered!! I also bought an apple dumpling. It was so delicious I ordered enough for the whole family! I only got one on my first visit and felt guilty that I didnt get enough for all of them. The fruit is the best!! It always has been!! Hopefully I'll be back next July for more!! read more

great local place! fresh produce and great for picking strawberries, cherries, peaches, etc!

Strites has STICKY BUNS like my Grandma use to make and the folks can't help you enough to get what you want. Also, the BLUEBERRY and SHOOFLY PIES are the most delicious pies you'll sink your teeth into. Don't forget about the APPLE DUMPLINGS. Yum. read more

Corn maze was $5 admission, but everything was overgrown, tiny, and not cared for. Down by the corn maze, no one in sight. Pumpkin patch was filled with smashed or underripe pumpkins. We were really looking forward to fun farm activities, but were extremely disappointed. read more

There are much better kept farms/orchards out there. First off the market has a great selection of items. All extremely overpriced. A half gallon of cider for 8 dollars and apples that are heavily overpriced what you can find at other places for a fraction of the cost. The you pick area is incredibly run down and needs some basic care. The pumpkin area was completely overgrown and hard to walk around and there was no supervision at all except for a young man in a truck. Avoid this place and check out some of the other area farms. read more

Great staff and welcoming orchard with a great variety of fresh food available. Highly recommend

I'm glad we stumbled upon this orchard while on vacation in PA. They have so many trees, very large variety of apples. I got the golden delicious, and they were very good! We didn't pick apples, I'm not sure if they offer that. They had a great selection of home made canning as well as sweets and apple cider. We bought a jug of apple cider (unfortunately my bf forgot it in the hotel room before we even got to try it ), canned beets, and canned mushrooms. Everything was very good and I hope to come back when we are ever in the area! read more

What an awesome place full of fresh fruits honey jams etc. The workers and cashiers are very helpful. It may be a tad pricey but it's A+ QUALITY read more

Came from Lancaster to meet with friends to pick pumpkins. Got there at 3:00ish and asked where to go to pick pumpkins and/or apples, was told that an employee closed down the "U-Pick" option early (signs posted said it closed at 4). No reason provided. Very disappointing, as it was a beautiful Saturday and we were really looking forward to checking out what Strites had. Really wanted to give them our business, but definitely won't now. read more

My daughter and were out in the Lebanon area this past weekend on 12/5 and were looking for a great spot to grab our Christmas Tree! After a little research, I decided on Strite's Orchard. This place gave me the best tree-buying experience I have ever had - and they are pretty damn good cookie bakers as well. Products: My daughter and I arrived and there were a pretty good amount of people walking about looking at some of the pre-cut trees outside, as well as a few shoppers inside the store grabbing apples, and buying some of their fresh baked goods. There is a very wide variety of items for purchase here. From the zounds of apples (various kinds), to the fresh produce, to the various baked goods, this was a really nice way to spend a Saturday morning. The Cookies: We had a sugar cookie and a chocolate chip. I profess that my chocolate chip cookies are some of the best you will ever have. As such, I have a pretty egotistically-high standard. These were legit. Some of the best I have had. They had a lot of similarities to mine (probably why I loved them so much); but were unique in their own special way. The sugar cookies were extremely good. Very well balanced, and super moist; yet, they had that amazing consistency where they were slightly chewy, yet still incredibly soft . Hard to describe, but it is everything you want a sugar cookie to be. The Trees: No loser-trees that I could see. All of the trees were shaped beautifully and were full (no bare spots). I was shocked. Usually I am fighting a crowd to find that one, perfect tree. All of them here were perfect. It was kinda awesome. We strolled down the side of the barn, my daughter pointed to one, and I happily nodded. Tree bought! Products: 5 / 5 Service: This is the differentiator for me. I have never bought a tree with great service. Typically, I go to a lot where there is some relatively creepy person working and you can tell does not want to be there. They take your money, and you get to wrestle with the tree. It is like, at the time they take your money, they absolve themselves of responsibility for the tree, and it is now all yours. Not at Strite's Orchard. I grabbed the first guy I saw, he was super friendly and eager to help, picked up the tree, then took it into the workshop to cut a piece off of the end, trim it, and net it for me. He even helped me put it in the car and was ready with rope if we needed to tie it to the top. Great service from start to finish. It is also important to note that I interacted with 3 different employees. All three were extremely pleasant and cheerful - not in that creepy, fake way either. They were just genuinely customer-service-oriented. Service: 5 / 5 Price: My tree, which is perfect, cost me $21.20. The cookies were .50 each. Umm, for $22.00, my daughter was the happiest little girl in the world with her new tree, her cookie, and her daddy. Great memory, great service, great products. Price: 5 / 5 Final Thoughts: They made me a customer for life. I will never go to another orchard/tree place again. Their genuine, honest service - coupled with products that beam with quality and are extremely fairly prices, is everything that anyone could ever want when shopping for a tree, apples, vegetables, or anything else they sell. I highly recommend this place! read more

My family and I came here on a whim while we waited for Hershey Park to open. It was definitely worth the wait, they have awesome cold cider and their apple trees were so filled with apples we were thrilled. There is a cool corn maze, that we didn't use and you can also pick pumpkins. We will definitely be coming back again, maybe during the berry season. read more

We went to pick our own apples, and were told they but a half bushel bag to fill... Alright sounds fair. But because there were 3 adults (rather than 2) we were required to buy an additional bag. I have been to A LOT of orchards/farms to pick food, and I've always paid for the amount of produce I collect...regardless of who helped me. Never have I needed to pay double so that "grandma" could also share in the fun. It seems a little sneaky to me. But I guess at the end of the day I still have a lot of food for a low price per pound. The produce was tasty and there was a decent variety. But I could have done without the snotty attitude of a staff member. There are much better farm stands in the general vicinity anyway. I don't think I will visit this place again. read more

I buy as much of my produce here as possible. One of my favorite things to do in fall and winter is go shopping here, then make a soup, stew, or baked dish entirely from ingredients grown less than two miles from my home. I also enjoy picking strawberries here in the summer. Their apples are amazing, crisp, and enormous, and they have a nice wide selection. The baked goods are nice, too. Best coconut macaroons I have ever had. And finally, give the locally made and canned jams and beets a try, too. The amish recipe whole pickled beets that they sell are amazing. The only reason I am giving them four stars instead of five is their hours. It can be tough to squeeze in the door before they close on my way home from work. If I hit traffic, there aren't going to be any fresh vegetables for dinner that evening. They could stand to stay open for an extra hour in the evenings for us 9-5ers. read more

We stopped here on a whim on the way home from a 4 day vacation in Lancaster and Hershey, PA. We picked strawberries and blackberries. Although it was the end of the strawberry season, they still had plenty left and we got a pretty large bag. The blackberries were plentiful and super sweet and juicy. That staff was so kind and helpful and the produce inside the store was just as delicious. read more

Strites' Orchard - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

I got here just before noon and there wasn't one employee in the store. I came in just for there will be pies and there was only one left in the case. The bakery cases were very bear. Sadly, I walked out with nothing. read more

We were on a quest for cider and donuts, Strites did us well. Walking in the door we were greeted by free cider, and quickly found some cute little donuts, 3/$1.15, in the bakery cabinet. It was neat to see people working on the apples in the back, too. Down the road a bit they have a pick your own pumpkin patch. Loved the variety of fresh foods - fruit and veggies, bread, canned goods. A friend and I were on the way to photograph a wedding and had a grand time taking photos of the beautiful produce. We decided to withhold one star for lack of hot cider and fresh/warm donuts. That would have been amazing. read more

Went on a week day Nothing there. Bought 1 bunch of asparagus for $7 Near my house. Will go again but very disappointed the first time I went read more

Bought some pre picked strawberries (I have a bad back and cannot pick my own) for $4.95/qt. When I got home , I put them in a colander to wash - noticed the bottom of the box berries were not ripe, the middle layer had some rotten ones and the top layer which I initially saw, were good. Very disappointed in this type of marketing. Will not go there again. read more

very nice selection and good prices. Fresh from the farm. Best tomatoes I ever had...nothing compared to the supermarket junk. Nice selection of fruits and vegs. Seasonal items.. read more

Great kid activity. Kind of ironic to come here all the way from CA to pick berries but when summer vacation found us in PA, we looked for a place where the kids could pick berries. This place was quaint, staff was friendly and produce was stocked. We spent an hour picking blue berries, black raspberries and strawberries. We could've gone to pick raspberries but it was too hot. Great experience for the whole family and pretty affordable. Bring a hat, sunscreen and water to drink. It's a bit of a walk to the bushes and it gets really hot! They have apple and peach slushees on site that are delicious at $3 a cup (a bit expensive) and quite refreshing upon your return to the store. We will definitely come back again. read more

Very friendly family run orchard. The market has lots of selection, even in the winter. There is a CSA program so your family can have a variety of seasonal produce conveniently assembled for weekly pickup. Also making a trip with friends and family to pick your own is a super nice activity and priced based on the amount picked. We highly recommend Strites! read more

Prices have gone up so much its ridiculous. Used to really like coming here every year.

$50 for a pre-picked Christmas tree??? Are you kidding me???? That is plain robbery. Last year we paid $35 for one we picked out ourselves last year but that place was closed by the time we got out of work so we had no choice. read more

Actually they have fruits and vegetables. Also baked goods. And my personal favorite is the Apple Cider Slushy Machine. When it is working it is worth the trip for that alone. read more

Had a great time with the u-pick blueberries this morning. Plenty of ripe berries at a low price, and my preschooler loved helping. We like Strites for their cider donuts, apples, and fresh produce at the farm stand, too. read more

I love Strites! I work for a hotel, and every fall we go there to buy pumpkins, gourds, haystacks and mums to decorate the entrance way of our hotel. The staff is always so helpful in helping us pick out items and also giving us a hand loading our van. I love the great selection of products and also the staff at Strites. I hope it continues to be great! read more

Strites is my go-to farm market in the area - I love it here. I can find less-than-usual market veggies but their staples are almost always great: sweet corn, apples, peaches, peppers, tomatoes and squash. Check their Facebook page for updates on what's in season. If available, pick up some powdered cider donuts from Mrs. Strite, too. Divine. read more

Overpriced for pick your own apples. $14 for half a bushel and that was the only option available.

Wormy corn..old puckered peppers. Ciders good though. Beter places to get your fruits and vegs

I live very close to Strite's, and; it is a favorite place for my family to visit. Not only is a great place to buy fresh farm picked fruits and vegetables, but; they also offer many family fun activities. For example, in the summer you can pick your own strawberries, cherries and other fresh fruits, and; in the fall you can walk the corn maze, pick your own pumpkins from the pumpkin patch and pick your own apples. The produce is freash and delicious, and, the bakery and kitchen there always has something delicious baking or cooking. The smell is heavenly! Strites is a wonderful place to visit whether you are looking for produce that hasn't been shipped 200 miles, or, if you want something fun to do with the family. read more
