In Elizabethtown (about 30 minutes west of Lancaster) there is a dairy farm that makes their own ice cream (Ridge View Dairies). I do not know that they do any sort of tour or anything. Their old milk store has been converted into a nice little restaurant where they do sell their ice cream (good caramel sundae) and milkshakes. Next to the restaurant is Redner's Warehouse Market (www.rednersmarkets.com) which *used* to be Ridge View markets and still sell their products including their delicious egg nog around Christmastime. I can pretty much guarantee that it is the best dairy-produced egg nog you have ever tasted. They skim the cream off the milk for it. It is so rich and creamy and delicious. Further out Elizabethtown Road, there is a farm with their own store that sells raw milk, eggs and their own yoghurt (I believe). I know an Indian woman who shops there. You might even find the Lancaster County "delicacies" Cup Cheese (comes in a low plastic container and has the consistency of mucous, available in mild and sharp...) or Ball Cheese which is a translucent ball of cheese with a white powdery sphere inside, kind of like the yolk of a hard boiled egg. As far as restaurants go... If consistent crowds are the indication of places where the locals eat, it would be Country Table restaurant in Mt. Joy (20 minutes west of Lancaster). It is always packed. They have a nice menu (not my particular taste...) and a small country store and bake shop. They also serve their pies and cakes in the restaurant. I hear they have good hog maw (i.e., stuffed pig stomach). My grandfather (who had a very Pennsylvania Dutch palate) always wanted to go to Hershey Farm restaurant (www.hersheyfarm.com) for his birthday. His wife would have recommended the Bird In Hand restaurant (www.bird-in-hand.com). The Bird In Hand bake shop used to sell these fabulous sweet rolls with crumbs (the crumbs very buttery and piled high) at Lancaster Central Market, but they don't seem to make them anymore... There is also the Bird In Hand farmer's market along that road. And yes, there are the towns with the names Paradise, Intercourse and Bird In Hand, and there's a joke in there somewhere that you can construct however you see fit. For Shoo Fly Pie, the most moist, dense, crumby, delicious version I've ever had is from Dutch Haven along Route 30 East. (www.dutchhaven.com) I can't imagine they cost as much in the store as what's quoted on the web site. Maybe the shipping is the problem because these are *heavy* pies.
