Frank’s Farm Market and Bakery

Fall is not complete without a trip to Frank’s in Erie, PA! This amazing farmers market provides food that will satisfy any appetite, including a rather large bakery for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Location:

Frank’s Market is located at 5880 Sterrettania Road, Fairview, PA 16415. It is literally right across the street from Walnut Creek Middle School, and conveniently located near Browns Farm. We highly suggest grabbing a treat from Franks and heading over to Browns Farm for a little picnic or walk through the trails! It’s also a great place to stop for an after school snack!

Property Description:

Frank’s Farm Market and Bakery is such a lovely country store and bakery. Park anywhere in the parking lot surrounding the shop, and enter through one of their doors. When we went, the doors were propped open to let in the fresh air. Take a look at the produce and products outside, then walk inside and enjoy the wonderful country atmosphere while you shop!

What to Do:

There are so many unique finds at Frank’s! First and foremost, because we are doing this post in the Fall, we have to mention that you can get pumpkins here! They also have a beautiful selection of mums surrounding the building and in front of the greenhouses.

You will have an abundance of choice if you’re looking for fruits and vegetables! While browsing, we saw potatoes, onions, apples, carrots, celery, spinach, peas, plums, and pears, just to name a few!

And if you’re looking for other staples, grab some eggs, milk, cheese, and bread while you’re browsing the store for locally grown produce!

One thing you must check out while you’re there is the bakery! Frank’s Farm Market offers a plethora of sweet treats. Everyone with us found something that looked yummy to them behind the glass. And trust us, when we sat down to enjoy those treats, they were just as yummy as we expected!

They also have plenty of ornaments for your lawn and garden, or to adorn the site a loved one is buried at. They also have decor for inside of your home, such as signs and plaques to put around your house.

Who Can Go:

Come one, come all to this farmers market in Erie, PA! The little one’s will especially love it because, well, bakery items!

Final Thoughts:

Save yourself a trip to the grocery store by heading out to Franks! No, you’re not going to find name brands and random pantry items that you don’t really need, but you will find fresh fruit and vegetables and locally made food! Shopping local is so important, now more than ever!

Fedei Farms October 2021

We’re on a search for the perfect pumpkins in Erie, PA; or in this case, the search for the perfect unique pumpkin. We’ve been to several places lately that sell pumpkins, but this one was different.

Location:

Fedei Farms is located at 7785 Maple Street, Fairview, PA 16415.

Property Description:

This farm stand is mostly outdoors with no cover. When you pull up to the property, you’ll park in their circle driveway. Walk towards all of the pumpkins, but check out the produce available to your left. The check out stand will be to your right; make sure to say hello to the people who run the stand!

Continue forward and you’ll see pumpkins of all kinds! Set up in rows, these pumpkins mostly differ from each other. Several other Fall gourds are set up around as well.

What to Do:

Fedei Farms prides itself on the unique selection of pumpkins that they carry. In talking with the owner, we found out that she has a desire to provide the most differentiating selection that she possibly can. She wants to be the place where everyone can find their perfect pumpkin, and we think that is really awesome!

With that being said, this would be a great place to come get pumpkins. Walking through the rows, we found pumpkins of all sorts. You can get the original pumpkin, your basic orange, in three different sizes. They also carry white flat pumpkins, peach colored pumpkins, light brown pumpkins, and yellow pumpkins.

If you’re looking for a “warty” pumpkin, you’ll find various options. They carry a light yellow, an orange and green, and a brown “coco puff.”

And for those of you who are looking for something multi-colored, you’ll find dark green and peach, a striped yellow and orange, and a very unique orange, yellow, and green with stripes and squiggles.

They also carry a variety of small gourds, such as tiny pumpkins and squash, octopus squash, and little white pumpkins. You’ll also find Indian corn and mums in several colors and even hay.

While you’re there, don’t forget to take a picture in front of the photo opp spot with the Fedei Farms sign. It has a super cute set up with hay, mums, cornstalks, and pumpkins. You can even pick out your own pumpkins first and put them in the picture with you! And if you’re looking to get a picture of your whole family, they are so kind as to take a photo for you!

And don’t forget to grab some fresh produce while you’re there! We found apples, plums, pears, and several types of peppers.

Who Can Go:

This is a great pumpkin patch to bring anyone to! We think it’s great for kids, especially, because of all of the choices and colors! And for those of you who love to coordinate decor, this is definitely the place for you to choose your pumpkins!

You’ll be walking mostly on grass, which means there may be some mud, so keep that in mind when choosing your shoes. You could push a stroller or wheelchair through the pumpkins, there is more than enough room, just keep the weather in mind!

Speaking of weather and walking in rain and mud, friends don’t let friends have wet feet! Vessi makes 100% waterproof sneakers that we recommend to everyone. Here’s our exclusive code for $20 off your first purchase of $100 or more. Click here to be directed to Vessi’s site to browse and use our code!

Final Thoughts:

We really enjoyed our trip to this pumpkin patch in Fairview, PA. All of the choices made for a very fun experience. If you’re interested in choosing some pumpkins for yourself, they are open from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. daily.
