July 16, 2020 Oregon Dairy stayed open until 9:00 p.m. so we decided to head on over. They have a large compound including two large stores, we assume a grocery store and a farm resource store, the ice cream store with a large outside deck with seating, possibly a restaurant…

July 17, 2020 Sweet Willows Creamery was not on the “26 Creameries” list. They may be on another creameries list. When we realized we were close to it and it was open, we decided to go. It is a cute building on a busy road. During these pandemic times, they…

July 16, 2020 An hour drive took us to Perrydell Farm in York. There is a small store. They only sell ice cream through a walk-up window outside. The farm offers a paper for a self-guided tour through the farm. It was starting to rain so we didn’t check it…

July 16, 2020 Heading further west, we arrived at Lapp Valley Farms in around 45 minutes. This is a small Mennonite working dairy farm. The well-manicured grounds were peaceful and inviting. Their creamery has a large wrap-around porch with plenty of comfortable seating. It was relaxing to sit and eat…

July 16, 2020 Chester Springs Creamery is only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays this summer. We drove by this quaint farm and creamery, just to make sure our info was correct. It was closed.

July 16, 2020 Fueled up, we were off to find the Liberty Bell. We passed many historic buildings and saw cool murals painted on buildings. The Liberty Bell is inside a building which is not open to the public now (none of the sights were open if they were inside…

July 16, 2020 Happy 98th birthday to my precious Great Aunt Lillian in Wisconsin! I love her and thank God for her. She is a gift to our family via marriage. ♡ Although I know that the world has slowed down for COVID-19, the lack of traffic at 8:15 a.m….

July 15, 2020 A seven-minute drive took us to Merrymead Farm. They have a small store with baked goods, jams, chips including Charles Chips, Beeman’s chewing gum (although not teaberry flavor), and more. They are selling their scooped ice cream only through the outside window. I almost splurged and picked…

July 15, 2020 We are beginning to get out of rural PA as we continue heading towards Philadelphia. Freddy Hill Farms is in a suburban town. It has a small store along with the ice cream bar. They also have putt putt, batting cages, and a playground. Interestingly, they sell…

July 15, 2020 Well, Google was correct on this one. The Nesting Box is closed today. This appears to be a small, family farm that sells eggs with ice cream as a side business. It reminded us of Footprints Farm close to our PA home. The proprietor came out to…
