Pennsylvania is known for its share of decades-old apple orchards. A new list of the nation's best from The Daily Meal includes four from Pennsylvania. Among those are two located in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
Appearing first on the list is Highland Orchards, a 80-ha farm not far outside of West Chester, Chester County, that dates back to the early 1940's. Highland's primary crops are apples, peaches and strawberries. They also grow pears, nectarines, blueberries, sweet corn, rhubarb and cherries.
Also on the list is Delaware County's popular Linvilla Orchards, a 60-ha family farm in Middletown Township. With crowds packing into Linvilla during the past two months, the farm recommends visiting on a weekday to avoid peak times on the weekends.
The Daily Meal also included Brown’s Orchards and Farm Markets in Loganville, York County (about two hours from Philadelphia) and Soergel Orchards in Wexford, Allegheny County. A number of orchards in surrounding states — including Milburn Orchards in Elkton, Maryland — appear on uns full list, too.
