Picking your own fruit/vegetables is in itself a fun family day. But, check out their special events calendar for one of their many festivals. Our family visited in August during the Peach Festival. There was live music and entertainment all day long. My kids met Spongebob Squarepants and Barney, which made the day even more exciting for them! My oldest participated in a bubble gum bubble blowing contest with her friend--priceless fun. We took a hayride (free) and picked plenty of fruits and vegetables (pay per pound). During the festivals, Linvilla Orchards will offer additional entertainment (pony rides, train rides, face painting) for a fee.
The Linvilla Orchards playground can't be beat! This playground is filled with climbing structures and slides for all ages. Have I mentioned the animals? The Linvilla Orchards farm features deer, sheep, goats, various birds, horses, etc. It's like a small zoo! (Tip: Bring carrots to feed the goats. I never seem to remember to do that!) Have I mentioned admission is FREE?!?! They do ask for a small donation for entrance to the playground, but Linvilla Orchards is a great, low-cost, family daytrip.
The Farm Market at Linvilla Orchards offers a bakery, fresh fruits and vegetables, and many gourmet specialties. When you're done shopping, check out their website for some yummy recipes using the fresh ingredients from the farm.
Thinking ahead, Fall is a great time to visit Linvilla Orchards. The Pumpkinland scarecrows are larger than life! They also have pumpkins of all shapes and sizes for purchase. This is one of my favorite fall photo places to visit!
Linvilla Orchards offers year-round fun. From the Spring Flower Festival to Christmas Around the Farm, there is something for everyone. If you've never been to Linvilla Orchars, put this one on your must see list for 2011.
