About Pennsylvania

Drive the back roads of Lancaster County, home to the largest Amish community in the nation, and Pennsylvania's agricultural depth is impossible to miss: mule teams working contoured fields, roadside stands stacked with whatever came out of the ground that morning. That's one corner of a big state. Farm country runs up the Susquehanna River valleys, over the Appalachian foothills, and out to the Lake Erie plains, and across all of it, working farms open their gates to visitors. Some show off traditional practices generations old; others run thoroughly modern operations. Both are worth the stop.

The picking and the pouring are just as spread out. Southeastern Pennsylvania (the Lehigh Valley, Chester County), is thick with orchards heavy with apples, peaches, and berries, and a wine industry growing up alongside them. In the state's opposite corner, Lake Erie Wine Country is its own viticultural world, cool-climate varietals shaped by the lake. And around Gettysburg in Adams County, farm breweries grow hops beside their other crops and pour the result on site, beer that never left the property until it landed in your glass.

Then there are the reasons to stay past dinner. Farm stays in the countryside around Hershey and Kennett Square let guests wake up to the working day, sometimes with a pitchfork in hand. And Pennsylvania's stock of historic barns has become the state's signature wedding inventory, from the Brandywine Valley to the Pocono Mountains foothills, pastoral properties dress up hand-hewn timber for celebrations that feel rooted in the place. Whatever brings you out, the farms give you a reason to come back a season later.

Pennsylvania Agritourism Activity Protection Act

Pennsylvania has a specific law, the Agritourism Activity Protection Act (Act 27 of 2021), that limits the liability of agritourism activity providers for inherent risks associated with agritourism activities. Visitors participating in agritourism activities accept the inherent risks.

On-Farm Food Sales and Cottage Food

Farmers in Pennsylvania can sell certain low-risk foods directly to consumers from their farms or at farmers' markets under cottage food regulations, which may not require extensive licensing. However, prepared foods or higher-risk items require specific permits and inspections from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. Always verify with the farm operator about their specific certifications.

Winery and Brewery Licensing for On-Farm Operations

Pennsylvania's Liquor Control Board (PLCB) regulates the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages. On-farm wineries and breweries operate under specific licenses that permit on-site tasting rooms, retail sales, and sometimes the sale of food. Visitors must be 21 years or older to sample or purchase alcohol.

Pick-Your-Own and Farm Safety

When engaging in U-pick or visiting farm attractions like corn mazes, visitors should always follow posted rules and instructions from farm staff. These guidelines are in place to ensure visitor safety, protect crops, and maintain the health of farm animals. Wear appropriate footwear and be aware of uneven terrain and potential hazards.

Farm Wedding and Event Venue Zoning

Establishing a farm as a wedding or event venue often involves local zoning ordinances and state regulations regarding occupancy, septic systems, parking, and public safety. These rules can vary significantly by municipality and may influence the types and scale of events a farm can host. Prospective clients should confirm venue compliance with operators.

Confirm current requirements with the state agency before your trip. Rules and fees change every season.

  • Age for Alcohol Consumption

    Visitors must be 21 years of age or older to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages at on-farm wineries, breweries, or distilleries in Pennsylvania. Valid photo identification is required.

  • Adherence to Farm Safety Guidelines

    When participating in U-pick activities, corn mazes, or interacting with farm animals, visitors are required to follow all posted safety signs and instructions provided by farm staff. This ensures personal safety and the well-being of the farm environment.

  • Agritourism Activity Liability Awareness

    Pennsylvania's Agritourism Activity Protection Act clarifies that visitors participating in agritourism activities assume the inherent risks of those activities. Visitors should be aware of this legal framework when engaging in farm-based recreation.

    5. Plan Your Itinerary and Transportation

    Farm country means rural roads and real distances between stops. Map the route, budget the drive time, and assume you'll need a car, public transport rarely reaches these places.

01Q: What is the best time of year to visit Pennsylvania for agritourism?
A: It depends what you're chasing. Summer and fall offer the widest spread: U-pick at full tilt, farm festivals, busy vineyards. Spring brings blossoms and the first produce; winter is for cozy farm stays and unhurried winery visits.
02Q: Can I bring my dog to farms and wineries?
A: Policies vary widely. Some patios and outdoor areas welcome leashed dogs; many operations with food production or livestock don't allow pets at all. Check with the specific venue before you go.
03Q: Are Pennsylvania farms generally accessible for visitors with mobility challenges?
A: It varies a great deal. Working farms often involve uneven terrain, gravel paths, and historic buildings that predate accessibility standards. Contact individual farms directly about their specific features and accommodations before planning your visit.
04Q: What types of U-pick options are most popular in Pennsylvania?
A: Strawberries and blueberries open the season in early summer, with peaches and cherries close behind. Then fall arrives and apples and pumpkins take over, the state's biggest U-pick draws by a wide margin.
05Q: How far in advance should I book a farm stay or farm wedding venue?
A: Farm stays can fill several months out, especially for fall weekends. Wedding barns run on a longer clock, 12 to 18 months ahead is common for popular dates, so start early if the venue matters to you.
06Q: Are there food options available at most agritourism destinations?
A: Wineries, breweries, and larger farms often have something on offer, from snack bars and food trucks to full-service restaurants. Smaller U-pick operations may sell little beyond the fruit itself. Check the website or call before you plan a meal around it.
