Because of the Linvill Trail in Middletown, PA, we discovered
Linvilla Orchards, a "happening place." Not only can you pick your own seasonal fruits and vegetables, but there are festivals in the Fall, and at Christmas and Easter. There is a large farm market and an even bigger garden center. During festivals, a grill serves food, but on weekends there is a beer garden. (Food is also available in the market, which has a very big bakery). Plus hayrides, fishing, a playground, and probably more.

Linvill house |
In 1914, Arthur Linvill purchased this dairy farm, but then began planting apple and peach trees. His children and grandchildren continue the enterprise that no longer has the dairy component.

The Legacy Oak Tree is a sculpture that
represents the Linvill family, and depicts all the crops
and wildlife to be found on the property |
