Take A Tour At Hollabaugh Brothers!

Board our handicap-accessible tour wagon for a ride through our scenic orchards.

No matter what your age, you’ll learn a lot during an interactive tour here at Hollabaugh Bros. Fruit Farm! From preschool to senior citizen groups, there’s something for everyone on one of our tours. Here are just a few of the things you can do on a tour at Hollabaugh Brothers:

• In the fall, pick apples, right off the tree, or plant a vegetable, herb, or flower plant in the spring and summer
• Take a wagon ride around the farm, learning about many of our different growing practices*
• Take a journey through a day in the life of a honeybee
• Learn about current topics affecting our industry today such as invasive species of insects, changing weather patterns, and the challenges of finding workers to hand pick all our fruit.
• Sip a cup of ice cold apple cider while you browse our educational bee room, take our apple quiz, and learn about what it means to be an I.P.P.M. grower!

All tours are by appointment only (generally available April through October), so call today (717-677-8412) or fill out our online form to learn more about scheduling a tour down on the farm! 

*Wagon tours require at least 20 people.  Guided walking tours are available for groups of at least 10 people.  Self-guided walking tours are also available.

Virtual Farm Tour:

2020 will go down in the history books for a lot of reasons. It was especially disappointing when we realized we would be unable to host so many of the school groups, preschool groups, and homeschool groups who normally visit us in the fall to learn about our farm, the things we grow, and agriculture at large. However, we were SO fortunate to be able to record a virtual Hollabaugh tour with the help of Community Media of South Central PA! We remain ever grateful! So, thanks to Community Media, please enjoy this Virtual Tour of our farm, whether you’re in the comfort of your own home or your classroom! Thanks for “Virtually Visiting” the farm!
