Meck's Produce

Meck's Produce is a family-owned farm market operating from a 60-acre preserve in Southern Lancaster County, Strasburg, Pennsylvania. Established as the 1,000th permanently preserved farm in Lancaster County, this farm stand offers fresh produce, baked goods, dairy, and grass-fed beef directly to consumers. The market operates six days weekly, Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 6 PM, with Saturday hours shortened to 4 PM. Online verification shows 358 customer reviews accumulating a 4.7-star average rating, indicating consistent quality and customer satisfaction.

What distinguishes this operation is their vertically integrated growing model. The market cultivates crops using hydroponic technology in addition to traditional field growing, enabling year-round vegetable availability. Their CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program allows customers to reserve seasonal shares in advance, with early registration incentives offered through late February. In addition to raw produce, they prepare baked goods including apple cider donuts and rosemary olive oil loaves, jarred goods, and sourced dairy items. During holiday seasons, the operation expands to include Christmas trees and decorative wreaths.

Customer narratives highlight specific product discoveries. One reviewer documented finding authentic shoofly pie alongside canned goods, butter, milk, and produce during an unexpected stop. Another visitor from Annapolis, Maryland specifically mentioned the drive was worthwhile for pumpkin purchases, baked goods including apple cider donuts, and overall value. A third customer noted the prayer bucket displayed on-site as a unique feature supporting community requests.
