This market is the spot! I loved their endless pick of pumpkins available from classic orange to the specialty colored and field trip small size ones. They also have an extensive selection of bakery goods, fudge, honey, jams, fruits and vegetables. Outside they have a corn maze, seating area to relax around the property, and playground. The staff was friendly and I could not recommend this place enough!

Its relatively clean, what you would expect from an orchard or u-pick place out in the sticks---and I would have easily given this place 5 stars BUT the staff was not the best. It was super hard to check out, bunch of teenage kids standing behind the counter chatting indifferent to whether I was standing there or not, I was confused as to where to go. Apparently I was supposed to have been given a map---which I did not, and my daughter and I had to wander through fields and fields of empty or diseased trees. Some of the apple varieties had symptoms of San Jose scale, a common pest, or apple scab, a fungal disease. I mean, we made the best of it, it just took a while to figure out where to go. The bathroom situation wasn't great, two stalls for a giant line of women--- then the toilet clogged and it was down to one! Aside from the map thing, the checkout love confusion, and the bathroom thing we had a pretty nice time. I would probably go again, but just ask for a map and try not to drink too much water! Lol

In August, the fresh farm fruit and vegetables were plentiful! We attended the Peach Festival. We loved the peach cobbler made at their bakery with Amish- made ice cream from Pennsylvania. There was an assortment of canned goodies, homemade breads, cider donuts, and little gift items. Out back, during the festival, they offered BBQ pulled pork. We sat on porch rockers and enjoyed our delicious treats while taking in the beautiful view. The employees were very courteous and helpful. They have a wonderful playground for the little ones. There was plenty of parking and it was very accessible. It's definitely worth the scenic drive to Marker-Miller Orchards.
