A large, well-established three-generation farm nine miles from Gettysburg running one of the bigger pick-your-own operations in the fruit belt, plus a CSA and farm-to-table dinners — but 2026 season dates and apple pricing aren't posted yet.
Hollabaugh Bros. is a three-generation family farm about nine miles north of Gettysburg on Route 34, and the record describes it as one of the larger pick-your-own operations in the Adams County fruit belt. Beyond the orchard rows, the farm runs its own CSA program and hosts farm-to-table dinner events — details that separate it from a bare-bones u-pick stand and suggest a farm built around a broader relationship with its customer base, not just a single fall visit.
The hours are dependable and come straight from the farm’s own website: Monday through Thursday 8am to 7pm, Friday and Saturday 8am to 5pm, and Sunday noon to 5pm, open daily. What’s missing is anything about when the 2026 pick-your-own season actually starts or ends, or what picking costs. The site apparently expresses enthusiasm for its “2026” slate of events, but that’s marketing language, not a published calendar — the record is explicit that no firm season dates were found. If you’re the kind of visitor who plans around a specific weekend, this is the detail to nail down with a phone call before you commit to a date.
The record lists Red Delicious and Golden Delicious as the apples grown here, but flags that this came from a third-party description of the u-pick block rather than something pulled from a current on-site inventory page. In practical terms, that means the farm may well grow other varieties too — Red and Golden Delicious are both classic mid-to-late-season apples, generally good keepers and reliable bakers, but they’re not the newer, crisper varieties (Honeycrisp, EverCrisp) that have become popular with pick-your-own crowds in the last decade. If a specific variety matters to your trip, call ahead rather than assuming the list is complete.
What stands out in the research is the CSA and dinner-event program. A Community Supported Agriculture subscription and farm-to-table dinners are the kind of offerings you typically see at farms trying to build a year-round relationship with customers, not just capture fall foot traffic. If you like the idea of returning to a farm repeatedly rather than a once-a-season apple run, this is worth following up on directly with the farm — the record doesn’t include specifics on CSA pricing, share sizes, or dinner scheduling, so treat this as a lead to chase, not a confirmed offering you can book today.
Farm tours are listed as an available activity, though the record gives no detail on what the tour covers, how long it runs, whether it’s self-guided or led, or if there’s a separate fee. For families with young kids who want more structure than a self-directed walk through the orchard, this is worth asking about when you call to confirm hours.
Nine miles north of Gettysburg puts this farm within easy reach if you’re already visiting the battlefield or the broader fruit-belt cluster around Biglerville — several other orchards in this same research batch sit in the same small radius. Because season dates aren’t posted, there’s no way from the record alone to say whether this farm opens earlier or later than its Biglerville neighbors; if timing matters, calling 717-677-8412 to compare notes across a few nearby farms before you commit a whole day to one location isn’t a bad strategy.
Hollabaugh Bros. looks like a serious, established operation with more going on than picking apples — but the two numbers most people actually need before a trip, opening date and price, aren’t in the source material. Confirm both directly before you drive out, especially if Red or Golden Delicious being available is important to you.
