Browns Orchards and Farm Market located
on a breathtaking hilltop in Loganville, PA. A
place that began as one familys dream has
grown from a small, open air roadside stand and
38 acres purchased in 1948 to a 30,000 square
foot, full-service farm market with 180 acres
today. Browns is a feast of delights that
include homegrown fruit, local produce, a famous
bakery, gift baskets, a fresh deli, fudge and
candy, seasonal festivals and a distinctive gift
shop. |

| Perrydell
Farm York |
| This
bottling plant was started by George and Roger
Perry in 1963. Now owned and operated by Georges
sons Greg, Tom and Chip. Producing whole milk,
low fat milk, skim milk, chocolate milk, and a
line of drinks. Along with the wonderful help
of their wives, the future expansion of the farm
market will most likely focus on dipping ice cream.
The greatest joy is derived from being able to
work so well together. |
