Best Hidden Gem

Old Barn Creamery entrance outside - Holtwood, PA

Old Barn Creamery

Old Barn Creamery is Lanc Local's pick for best hidden gem, due to its scenic, tucked-away location and very positive customer feedback.

Holtwood

Fresh from the farm, hand-dipped ice cream · Homemade baked goods · Fresh dairy products · A2A2 raw milk · Homemade bottled drinks · Cheese · Açaí bowls · Breakfast sandwiches · Soft pretzels · Espresso drinks · Eggs

Great breakfast stop

Beautiful country setting

Very reasonable prices

A true hidden gem of Lancaster County! There’s something for everyone here — ice cream, baked goods, drinks, breakfast sandwiches, etc. Our personal favorite is the homemade oatmeal whoopie pies. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area or are searching for your next favorite shop.
