Emmett’s Orchard Grove City Thirsty Farmer Brew Works Biglerville TOP TO BOTTOM: EMMETT’S ORCHARD; JEREMY HESS FOR DESTINATION GETTYSBURG; DISCOVER GETTYSBURG The Historic Round Barn and Farm Market Biglerville Apple Trail Being fourth in apple production, Pennsylvania flavors are ripe for the pickin’. The Historic Round Barn and Farm Market in Biglerville has loads of juicy fruit for apple fans, and architecture enthusiasts also will get a kick out of the unusual and rare round building, built to limit construction costs and provide extra room for livestock. Out back, animal lovers visit with donkeys and horses just waiting for a hello and a snack. Across the road at Thirsty Farmer Brew Works , enjoy crispy apple turnovers and warm apple cider donuts served with mugs of house-made beer. Out in Grove City, family-run (including five kids and many animals) Emmett’s Orchard sells warm apple pies, sweet Honeycrisp apple cider from their own cider mill, and huge caramel apples on their rustic farm. No apple trail is complete without hard cider, so a visit to Colonel Ricketts Hard Cider in rural Benton is a must for a glass or a take-home growler—or both. Try the refreshing barrel-finished Apple Sip. Any day that starts with apple donuts and ends with hard cider is a happy day in PA. visitPA.com 55
