Lancaster, PA: From Moo to Meow to Mmm!

Duration: 1 Day | Lancaster County, PA | Meals Included: Lunch

 

Trip Highlights:

 

Kreider Farms

Experience a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at a real, working dairy farm that’s been family-owned and operated since 1935. Enjoy a guided tour and witness the daily activities on the farm, including a ride through the Maternity Barn, where you may witness the birth of a calf, and the state-of-the-art milking operation, where 1,700 cows are milked three times a day. Cap off your visit with a breathtaking view of the farm and surrounding Lancaster County farmland from the 100-foot-tall Silo Observation Tower.

 

Kitchen Kettle Village

Hungry for Pennsylvania Dutch goodness? Make your way to Kitchen Kettle Village, an outdoor village of more than 40 shops, including the famous Jam & Relish Kitchen, where you can sample a variety of some 100 homemade Pennsylvania Dutch comestibles before you buy. There are also shops selling leather goods, pottery, specialty yarns, candles, furniture, oils and, of course, Amish quilts - a souvenir staple. You'll also find stores serving up sweets (you must try the shoofly pie and whoopie pies - two iconic Lancaster County treats), hand-twisted soft pretzels, kettle corn, smoked meats, and more. Watch basket weaving, fudge making, homemade ice cream making, painting, woodcarving, and leather works.
