Our country market along Rt. 340 in Bird-in-Hand is the main shopping experience we offer, featuring our entire retail inventory and numerous family-friendly features like a working beehive and made-while-you-watch homemade peanut butter. Additionally, anyone in the USA can enjoy the convenience of shopping our orchard foods on our secure online store.
Orchard Fruits
Full of sun-ripened, fresh-from-the-orchard flavor and grown on the same farm for over 100 years, our "Bird-in-Hand Brand" homegrown fruit is sure to please. With a wide selection of apples, peaches, cherries, plums, and pears in season, there's something for everyone's palate at prices for anyone's purse.
Sweet Apple Cider
This is the premier apple cider in the Mid-Atlantic region! Kauffman's homemade, sweet apple cider was voted 1st place of 20 entries in the cider taste competition at the 2016 Mid-Atlantic Fruit & Vegetable Convention (also in 2007, 2010, and 2014!).
Careful, consistent blending of sweet and tart apple varieties is our specialty. The apples are inspected and washed before being ground and squeezed with modern, sanitary equipment. The cider is screened and flash-pasteurized, making a delicious, nutritious, refreshing beverage; then, it's bottled by our state-of-the-art, automated bottling system.
Apple Schnitz (Dried Apples)
Our apple schnitz is made from fresh apples and air-dried with no preservatives. It is a tasty, healthy, all-natural snack, and is well known as an ingredient in PA Dutch specialties like Schnitz & Knepp and Schnitz Pie. Our apple schnitz is available in sweet and tart variations by using different varieties of apples; it can be purchased at our market, various outlets in the Mid-Atlantic regions (click here for vendors), and online.
Apple & Fruit Butters
Our fruit butters get their flavor from our old-fashioned process of cooking the fruit in fruit juices, retaining the natural sugars and fiber of the fruit.
Apple butter can be enjoyed in four tasty flavors:
• Original (With Added Sugar)
• No Granulated Sugar Added
• Plain (Nothing Added)
• Sweetened With Natural Honey
Besides apple butter, we also make regular and sugar-free variations of pear and pumpkin butter. All of these fruit butters and fruit butter gift packs are available in our farm marketand online.
Cider Donuts
Ready for a mouth-watering treat? How about a warm, fresh apple cider donut made on the weekends during the summer and fall (June-October) at the front of our farm market? We use a cake donut mix and include our award-winning apple cider in the recipe!
You'll not be satisfied with just one of these. Not sure? Just ask for a free sample.
Fruit Trees
Doesn't the thought of growing your own fruit sound interesting... and delicious? We sell young, high-quality fruit trees directly to consumers every winter; the fruit trees arrive at our market, ready to be picked up, about the first week of April. We'll happily assist you in making just the right selections of fruit trees for your home, farm, or mountain property.

Oats & Cereal
Some of the best-selling items in our entire Bulk Foods department are Rolled Oats, Quick Oats, and Baby Oats.
