Pennsylvania farming began with Native Americans who grew corn, beans, and squash in forest clearings. European settlers, especially Germans, brought advanced farming techniques and planted apple orchards that still produce fruit today. Pennsylvania became known for its fertile soil and diverse farming, growing everything from wheat to mushrooms. The state's location made it important for feeding growing cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Pennsylvania has many different farming regions from the Appalachian Mountains to the fertile valleys in between. Lancaster County and southeastern Pennsylvania have some of the richest soil in America. The climate varies from north to south but generally has warm summers and cold winters with enough rain for crops. Rivers and valleys provide good conditions for different types of farming.
Pennsylvania apples are ready to pick from August through November when orchards throughout the state produce dozens of different varieties. You can pick peaches in summer when they're sweet and juicy from Pennsylvania's warm weather. Strawberries ripen in June and are perfect for making jam or eating fresh. The state also grows great pumpkins, sweet corn, and berries.
Summer and fall are the best times to visit Pennsylvania farms when peaches, apples, and other crops are ripe. Fall is especially popular for apple picking when the leaves are changing colors in the mountains. Many farms are in beautiful areas with rolling hills, valleys, and historic buildings. Pennsylvania has many Amish farms that offer unique experiences and traditional farming methods.
