The Poconos Farm Market

Reviewed By H2144WCjohnk

I truly enjoy visiting this market. The presence of the Amish is what first attracted me to it because I wanted my grandchildren to see and interact with people who have steadfastly held to traditions for centuries. But one visit would have sufficed for that. But what keeps me returning is the quality of the produce as well as the variety. The chicken barbeque is outstanding. Zook's homemade mint tea and root beer are delicious. There is a wide variety of book goods as well as cured meat. Prices are fair. The service is friendly and efficient. It is a delightful place to spend a part of one's day.

Liberty Pole Spirits

In 1791, Washington County, Pennsylvania, was a heavily wooded wilderness at the headwaters of the Ohio River. Many Scotch-Irish veterans of the Revolutionary War had returned to the area and the rocky farms that they had established before the War. They struggled against the weather and disease, and being far from the East Coast, enjoyed few luxuries. But through the rugged ingenuity of those brave Colonists, one of the first American Industries was born. Whiskey. Years later, the stories of their defiance against the Federal Excise Tax on distilled spirits (AKA The Whiskey Rebellion) are preserved in museums, churches and cemeteries around the county. Now, heritage grain once again grows in the same soil they so dearly loved, travels down the paved paths upon which they drove the whiskey-laden mule trains, and arrives at a new Mingo Creek Meetinghouse where it is distilled and enjoyed by the next generation of the Mingo Creek Society.

Our visit with one of the most interesting and wonderful family run distilleries in SW Pennsylvania was fabulous. Our tasting of their products with a complete background on arriving at the end products was presented by Ellen while we enjoyed the great ambiance of their tasting area. We were the only two people on the tour. We each left with a bottle of their products to enjoy at home. I'd highly recommend a visit to the distillery for a great tasting experience and seeing a truly wonderful family business success story.

We fell in love with Three Hammers the first time we went there. It is such a warm and welcoming location with great people and delicious wine. We live about 2.5 hours away but were planning a wedding at Woodloch which meant we were up in the area a lot. Every trip we made up to the area we made a point of stopping for a glass of wine and to restock with “a few” bottles of wine to hold us over till our next visit. The staff is always very friendly. The owners were always welcoming and very happy to show us around and share their story with us. We ended up falling in love with the property so much that we spoke to Rob and Christine (the owners) about having our first look for our wedding on their property and I am so happy we did. We could not have asked for a better backdrop for our first look. After we finished with our moment, Rob came over to say hi and congratulate us. After so much build up to that moment, I was so happy we were in a relaxing atmosphere and were able to enjoy a nice glass of wine.

Lancaster Brewing Company

We cook like we brew...craftsmanship and quality in every detail. From our housemade sausage and cured meats, to locally made cheeses, fresh dough, on-site garden, hand-cut fries and signature burger grind, there's no substitute for fresh, natural ingredients. Fortunate to be located in the heart of Lancaster County, among some of the richest farmland in the world, we're committed to fresh, local and sustainably grown products. Our menu changes often to take advantage of the seasons, and to utilize the fresh produce, dairy, poultry, cheeses and meats produced on the 5,300+ independent, family farms in Lancaster County. Our obsession for brewing great beer is matched by our passion for great, natural food, so we source our produce and meats from local Lancaster County farmers and prepare virtually everything on our menus from scratch. We smoke our pork, grind our sausage and hand-cut our fries.

Troegs Brewing Company

Tröegs Brewing Company was founded by Chris and John Trogner. Since 1997, the brothers have been handcrafting world-class beers that combine traditional English brewing techniques with the eclecticism of new American brewing. While only available in the Mid-Atlantic region, Tröegs Brewery is known nationwide for their award-winning Troegenator Double Bock, highly-desirable seasonal releases like Nugget Nectar and The Mad Elf, and brewery-only beers like the Scratch and Splinter series. Tröegs Brewery in Hershey, Pennsylvania provides guests with a complete brewing experience. The brewhouse is located in a 5,000 square foot tasting room that opens onto a beer garden. Visitors are able to observe the brewing process firsthand, and take a self-guided tour along a window-lined hallway for a close-up view of the entire brewery.

Just a short distance from Hershey Park and the Tanger Outlets, Troegs offers a cool respite from the Disneyesque feeling of Hershey. You'll find a current list of beers including those on tap, seasonal, scratch series and in cork and cage bottles. There are many large rustic tables available in the cavernous main area. If it's crowded, head around the corner to the right for more seating along the bottling route. Try several beers in a tasting sampler and then check out the food menu. You'll have to line up at a separate window to give your food order, but take a buzzer and go back to your table to wait. Soda is also available. Most of the food is locally sourced and delicious. The cheese platter is small for the money. The large pretzel and dips, Mad Elf fondue, and the fries are consistently good. The menu varies often, so check back to see what's new. There may be oysters or foie gras paired with duck or chicken. There's a variety, so I recommend getting several dishes to share. There's even a great Sunday brunch menu. Troegs is loud, there are often small children running amok, so it would not be good place for a quiet tête à tête. Come with your friends or celebrate with a large group. There is also outdoor seating. You need to arrive early to get a table, or stalk people as they are leaving. The same goes for parking. On crowded days, people park at the Outlets and walk over rather than circling the parking lot. If you have time, take a guided tour to learn about the history of Troegs and the process of beer making. It's interesting and you get a bird's eye view of the brewery from up on the catwalk. It may be hard to hear your guide over the din of the brew hall, but you'll learn what goes into that delicious beer.
