York

A blueberry farm on Butter Road northwest of York. Blueberries ripen over several weeks in this part of Pennsylvania, generally from early July into August, which gives pick-your-own farms a longer season than the quick strawberry window. Fields open once the first berries color up, so a quick call confirms whether picking is on before you drive out.

Charlie's Produce & Crabs is a roadside farm market and specialty stand on Route 30 west of Thomasville in York County, half a mile past Route 116.

A fruit farm on Fruitlyn Drive in Dallastown, in the orchard country of southern York County.

Glen Rock

Barakah Heritage Farm breeds critically rare black Arabian horses on 54 acres near Glen Rock, alongside heritage goats and heirloom plants grown under permaculture practices. Visitors book goat hikes, meet the animals, and learn how the farm works. Three secluded campsites, also listed on Hipcamp, let guests stay overnight.

Pick-your-own strawberries on West Lisburn Road in Carlisle, in the Cumberland Valley southwest of Harrisburg. The season here generally opens in late May and lasts three to four weeks, depending on spring weather.

Bees-N-Trees is a honey farm operating since 2010 on Quarry Road in Hummelstown, Dauphin County, listed for agritourism and pick-your-own visits. As the name suggests, the operation pairs beekeeping and honey with tree crops. It's a small local outfit rather than a large retail farm. Call 717-329-3216 to confirm what's available and when the farm is open to visitors.

Manchester

Gardners

A small agritourism spot on Half Mile Drive in Gardners, the center of Adams County's apple and fruit belt north of Gettysburg.
