CATOCTIN MOUNTAIN ORCHARD

What a wonderful market! We live in PA and stopped here on our way back from WV as we are fans of fresh fruit and veggie vendors. As soon as you walk in, the overwhelming, delicious smell of fresh pies puts a smile on your face. They have a h…

This place is located right off US-15 south of Gettysburg, so we stopped by on the way back to DC from PA.  It was apple harvest time so they had pick-your-own apples and a pumpkin patch.  The farm market was buzzing and had a wide selection o…

I had been driving past this place for 4 years before a friend of mine told me they had amazing apple dumplings and I should make a stop.  That was a year or two ago and I have been kicking myself for not stopping sooner since I’ve moved away. …

Great farm market sitting on US 15 in Thurmont.  The produce highlight has gotta be the peaches — they’re perfect, the best fresh peaches I’ve ever had — but they carry everything that’s in season, fruits and vegetables, and it’s always good.  …

Stop in on your way down 15 and pick up some absolutely great baked goods and fresh fruit and produce. Their apples are a great deal, too, especially if you buy a lot of them. Half a bushel for about $20 and they last a long time. When you watch…
