Everything is fresh and top quality for a cheaper price than in grocery stores. Employees are very friendly and helpful to everyone, who asks for advice about their products. Once, I overpaid for something, but I said nothing, since they work hard and I considered it as a donation (they deserve it). However, the next time when I was there, they remembered me, and gave me back the money.

Beck's Christmas Tree Farm is just down the street from my parent's house. It's a choose and cut…read moreyour own Christmas tree farm where you can get a douglas fir, blue spruce, fraser fir or concolr fir tree. Fresh garland wreaths, roping, Christmas accessories and railroad gifts are also for sale in the barn, "Christmas Junction". Dave and Lynn Beck are good family friends so even though there are 3 or 4 other tree farms close by, we always go to Beck's. It is a tradition to go after church on a Sunday afternoon and pick our tree. Um, most people drive home with their tree tied to the roof of their car. My family is NOT like most people. Dad feels it's much easier to uh, drive our John Deere tractor/wagon here and load it up in the wagon so we can forgo the hassle of tying it to our car. It's been a little different since my brother and I left the nest as the tree is usually up when we get home from Penn State or DC, respectively. When I moved to DC and bought a fresh tree 2 years ago, I was astounded by the $50 price tag. A 4-5 foot tree for $50!? Not the case at Beck's. I believe the price is between $40-45 for a 6 or 7 foot tree which is amazing. Beck's also has a huge pile of garland behind the barn that patrons are free to take as much as they want. Mom usually takes a few pieces to assemble mini trees that she puts on our front porch as decorations. Go to Beck's for your Christmas trees. It's worth it. But you don't have to bring your tractor...you can just bring a regular car or truck ;-). [PHOTOS] http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7p4m-QZKoAeVDK99Cvw1vQ?select=OwrLyYk8B0y7UkQxUPzfAg

Palmers is a family run farm that plants their trees in well defined rows in mostly level fields…read more Palmers shapes their trees so that they have the classic look that you want. They grow a large selection of trees so there is something for everyone. The staff can direct you to the area that has the tree type and size that you're looking for, making it easy to find some good choices. Palmers supplies the saw, and there are some tree carts available to help you move your tree to the tree binding machine. I recommend that you bring a tape measure, ribbon to mark trees that you are deciding between, warm work gloves, and a canvas painting tarp to help you carry your tree (rather than dragging it on the ground, in case you can't find a tree cart). I bring ratchet tie-downs to strap the tree to the roof rack on our van, but Palmers supplies vinyl twine for you. After years at another tree farm we decided to give Palmers a look last year. We found that their trees are better organized, properly spaced for uniform growth and a good 360 view, planted logically together on mostly level terrain, and expertly shaped by their staff. The staff is friendly and helpful. Palmers is now our annual destination for a perfect Christmas tree.

The 8' MONSTER I picked up (they had it in the barn already) was without a doubt the fullest, most beautiful tree I have had in my 35 years of getting fresh trees. I didn't have the time to walk the property for a tree to cut, but when I asked about Blue Spruce, they said they have a bunch, out back, just walk and cut one!!!! OH BOY!!!! Blue Spruce is my guy. No one carries them, very few grow them, I can NOT wait for next year, I will 100% be back and cutting my 9' Blue!!!!!!! And just a couple miles off Rt 80, on and off!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this farm & can't believe we found such a gem!…read more When visiting PA with the family we were hoping to find a cute animal experience, and L'Eredita Di Favale did not disappoint. This family owned farm is free to visit and thrives on donations/purchases from their shop. The owners Stephanie & Anthony are so kind & patient, walking you through the barn and surrounding land while explaining what it's like having a farm. Feeding the alpacas & other animals was amazing, but the hospitality from the Favale family is what made our experience top tier. When visiting, be sure to bring some carrots for the animals to snack on & ask about their farm fresh eggs! This is a must-see when in the area and I cannot recommend enough. Already looking forward to the next time I get to visit!

It's clear how much she and her husband, Ben love and care for every single animal there. The hands-on experience was the highlight for me. I loved getting to feed the gentle horses, alpacas, pigs, goats, donkeys, turkeys, peacocks, sheep and more. The personal interaction with the animals was amazing. The animals seemed happy, healthy, and very used to human interaction, which speaks volumes about the ranch's welfare standards. Not only did I get to help with the animal chores, Kathryn is also very environmentally conscious as we composted, recycled or re-purposed everything at the ranch. It was a joy helping and I highly recommend making an appointment for an experience. It is also a great place to volunteer if you love animals, Kathryn is a remarkable woman. Kathryn not only loves the animals, she is knowledgeable and kind. I learned so much about the different rescue animals and the conservation efforts the ranch supports. The entire property is beautiful with spectacular views. If you're an animal lover or looking for a unique, educational day trip with the family, I cannot recommend Gress Mountain Ranch enough. It's more than just a ranch; it's a truly special place where you can connect with nature and wonderful creatures. I am now a steady volunteer, I encourage you to plan a visit!

(This is about visiting during Lehigh County Open Gate Farm Tour Weekend)…read more There are a few farms that set themselves apart from the rest during the Open Gate Farm Tour weekend and Heidel Hollow is at the top of the list. They do all the things which make the concept of an open house work: * Demonstrations of their equipment * A full explanation as to what they grow, how they grow it and where/who they sell to * The ability to buy their products plus a free half dozen eggs just for showing up * Lots of parking * A great staff that goes out their way to help you even when it's crazy busy On the open house weekend Heidel offers the chance to see their computerized hale bale system do its thing, a small hay maze, for a fee you can make your own scarecrow, a decent sized food court & bake sale and a bunch of things for sale including pumpkins-mums-eggs-local honey and a whole lot more. Pricing is excellent. A two and a half dozen egg flat for three bucks and a two pound jar of local honey for ten bucks. You can't beat that. From their website: "The fourth and fifth generations of the Fink family invite you to their farm in Heidelberg Township. Energy to run the farm is from the 200kw solar array. Farm products grown here could end up on your dinner table or be loaded on ocean vessels to feed horses and cows. Computerized big bale hay processing system will be demonstrated; 1,200 pound bales are reprocessed down into 40 or 80 pound bales. Mike Fink grows over 1,000 acres of vegetables-broccoli, sweet corn, tomatoes and pumpkins for local stores. Customers and friends still know our farm store as the "Egg Room." For many years, this is where we did our egg packing from laying hens and where you could come and watch us pack eggs directly from the hen house and also purchase eggs and potatoes. Though the chickens are at another farm, you can still buy eggs as well as a variety of vegetables and fruits grown by son Michael during the summer season. Starting In May, we will have a full selection of Bedding and Vegetable plants, hanging baskets, herbs, and mixed planters for sale at the farm. All plants are grown here in our Greenhouse facilities. Stop in to stock your gardens for the season! In June and July, we start with seasonal produce such as strawberries, Mike Fink's Sweet Corn, tomatoes, peppers, local peaches, watermelon, and much, much more! Keep stopping by all summer for a great variety of fresh, local produce. In the fall, we switch gears to pumpkins grown right here on the farm, mum, Indian corn, and fall decorations, as well as home-grown spaghetti, butternut, and acorn squash. All winter long, we can supply your home with fresh eggs and local potatoes. The "Egg Room Store" is open Monday-Friday from 8am-4pm, and Saturdays from 9am-1pm." It's a bit of a hike for us to be making this a regular stop for produce but we get here every year for the open house and a few times during the rest of the year. The offerings are first rate, the staff is great and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely worth the trip.
