Heritage Farm & Market (FKA: Burkholder's Farm Fresh)

Nestled just off the rolling backroads of Fleetwood, PA, Heritage Farm & Market (formerly Burkholder’s Farm Fresh) offers a warm, welcoming stop for anyone seeking farm-fresh goodness. This family-owned destination combines the charm of a traditional farmers’ market with the convenience of a full-service bakery, dairy store, greenhouse, plant nursery, and fruit & vegetable shop—all under one roof (and open canopy). Whether you’re stocking up on produce, planning your spring garden, or craving a homemade treat, you’ll find genuine value and down-home hospitality at every turn.

A Bounty of Fresh Produce & Specialty Foods

Step into our market and you’ll immediately notice the dazzling array of seasonal fruits and vegetables. From crisp lettuce and heirloom tomatoes to plump peaches and sweet corn that “truly has the best corn around,” patrons rave over the freshness and flavor. Most vegetables are picked the same day or the day before, ensuring you take home peak ripeness and superior taste.

But the produce section is only the beginning. A delightful selection of specialty items awaits, including local clover-farmed milk, artisanal jams and jellies, and Mennonite-style cheeses. Shoppers love to linger over the homemade baked goods table, where fresh loaves of bread, cookies, and pies beckon with the aroma of butter and spice. As one happy customer put it, “Great baked goods and jams that are very tasty”—a testament to the care and craftsmanship that goes into every batch.

Expert Plant Nursery & Greenhouse

Gardeners and green-thumbs will feel right at home among the lush benches of our greenhouse and nursery area. Whether you’re searching for annuals, perennials, houseplants, or starter vegetables, our knowledgeable team is ready to help. “Lowell is so kind and helpful, and gave us great advice about planting,” shares one delighted visitor, highlighting the personalized guidance that sets Heritage apart. From soil suggestions to pruning tips, our staff’s expertise helps your plants not just survive, but thrive.

Unbeatable Value & Friendly Service

One of the most consistent praises from our customers centers on value. Competitive pricing and regular deals mean you can fill your basket without emptying your wallet. “Prices are very reasonable and always a great selection,” notes a frequent shopper, capturing the spirit of our commitment to fair, transparent pricing.

Even better, every trip to Heritage Farm & Market is complemented by genuine, friendly service. Our team goes out of their way to answer questions, share recipe ideas, and ensure you leave with exactly what you need. It’s this level of care—paired with the playful greeting from Hunter, our beloved farm dog—that turns first-time guests into regulars. “Beautiful dog named Hunter there to greet you… just kidding, sound asleep,” another customer laughs—proof that every visit feels like coming home.

A Charming, Family-Friendly Atmosphere

Beyond the products themselves, visitors often comment on the clean, well-maintained stand and its welcoming ambiance. Wooden display tables brimming with pumpkins, gourds, and fresh-cut flowers dot the landscape in fall, while bright spring blooms greet you in vibrant color. Customers describe the setting as “clean and beautiful” and “a little gem,” making Heritage Farm & Market a delightful place to shop, browse, and linger over a cup of coffee (available seasonally).

Seasonal Rhythms & Operating Hours

One thing our community looks forward to all year is the return of seasonal favorites. Early summer brings peonies and strawberries, midseason delivers tomatoes and peppers, and the height of the season yields succulent corn and peaches. While we share your disappointment when winter’s chill calls time on fresh offerings—“I’m sad every year when the produce is gone and they close the stand”—our holiday market and gift selections often help bridge the gap until spring’s rebirth.

Heritage Farm & Market typically opens in early spring and wraps up for the season after November, so be sure to plan your visits around our operating calendar. Follow us on social media or sign up for our newsletter to stay informed about opening days, special events, and holiday pop-up sales.

Why Heritage Farm & Market Stands Out

• Exceptional Sweet Corn: A must-try for any visitor—“excellent sweet corn and produce” keeps folks coming back every summer.
• Personalized Plant Advice: With team members like Lowell on hand, even novice gardeners leave confident and excited to grow.
• Homemade Baked Goods & Jams: From flaky pies to hand-stirred preserves, our baked treats are crafted with time-honored recipes and the finest ingredients.
• Friendly Farm Dog “Hunter”: Adds a touch of farmhouse hospitality—even if he’d rather nap than fetch.
• Competitive Pricing & Freshness: Quality and value go hand in hand at every aisle and display.
