Amish Country - Hershberger Farm

HERSHBERGER FARM in Amish Country.

With small children, we were looking for a one stop shop in Amish Country, where we could experience some of everything without paying an arm and a leg. :) I feel like we definitely found that here!

The farm has a good size free petting zoo, with the option to ride ponies ($3.00 per person) and take a ride in an Amish buggy ($5.00). Also at this location was a cute little store, with loads of handmade goods and toys, and another store with bakery items, fruits, and veggies. There were lots of things to sample (which were ALL delicious) and the prices were REALLY reasonable for food items. We brought back a HUGE cantaloupe that was DELICIOUS!

There is also a place to buy lunch--they sell sandwiches, burgers, fries, etc. Some of everything. We felt that food was kind of pricey, but it was also served in good size portions. Our 3 small kids split one burger and fries and were full. (I want to say it was like $5 for a burger and fries, no drink included).

Fresh kettle corn was being made the whole time we were there, and they had yummy samples of that--(definitely pick up a bag! IT WAS SOOO GOOD!)

All in all we thought it was a great place to go to see the sights. If you have more time or aren't with kiddos, there are lots of shops and great places to stop along the way (and in Berlin, a short distance away).

Good tip! I'll have to remember this if we ever take a trip back east, which I really hope to do someday.

If you go another two miles down the road you'll run into the BEST fabric store in the world. Seriously..the best, I drove four or five times down there just for that fabric store. And in the basement they have designer fabric for $5 a yard. :)
