’s first legal alcoholic beverage
After spending our first day at Hersheypark while visiting my brother in Pennsylvania, it was on to day two. We woke up at a decent time Sunday morning and eventually made our way towards Lititz, which some a few may know as "America's coolest small town". I had been to Lititz once before, more on my visit last year here. This time, instead of walking around the cool little town, we were stationed just outside of town.
Our destination on this perfect Sunday was a 19th Century 21-acre farmette called Kissel Valley Farm. My brother Chez had this bright idea to check out a pop-up beer garden put on by Bulls Head. This company also owns the restaurant that Chez and I got photos on their fancy couch in February of 2020. Those photos were in the Lititz blog from last year that I linked above.
One big deal was the fact that this was
Normally a beer garden isn't something

Cornhole by the purple flowers
My first impression upon pulling into the grass parking lot was WOW! This place was so open and gorgeous. There was plenty of space, everyone was having a great time by the time we arrived around 2 pm, and I saw lots to do. There were nearly a dozen cornhole boards for us to play the fun bean bag tossing game. A stage had musicians playing tunes for the crowd. Most people had lawn chairs, some on blankets, and others at picnic tables. Multiple food trucks were set up to cater to the demanding bellies of each guest. Best of all was the Bulls Head taps which featured many different craft beers and mixed drinks.
I have to admit that everyone that faced me in cornhole eventually met defeat. Ever since being the bean bag tossing champion at my elementary school, my confidence has been through the roof with the game. I think cornhole is one of the best games to play while drinking. YES even better than darts and billiards.
As you can see from the following photos,
This is my favorite photo of the day.
Food truck city
You probably thought this was going to be all about beer. Not true! The food was equally as impressive as the brews. I went with the Chunky Rooster from the Crave food truck. A burger with chunky peanut butter, cheddar cheese, spicy strawberry jam, and bacon crumbles on a brioche roll. This was one of the best burgers I've had in my entire life. I partially blame this on the lovely day/location, getting to enjoy it with Chez while he also ate one, and being a little tipsy. Plus this combination of toppings was pure genius.
Chez and
Chez and his fiance Kristian tried something from the Grappling Crab Shack as well. I really am not sure how they were able to eat so much food, I was full after just one burger. I'm sure the food trucks were happy to have all of our business.
It was a scorcher
I am so glad that we thought to put sunscreen on before we arrived. There was absolutely no shade and the sun was at full force that day. We were all pouring the sweat the entire time. It wasn't a big deal to me, I was happy to improve my tan some more. It was easy to be distracted from how hot it was with all of the exciting things going on.
I got to meet Chez's new friend named Christian (confusing I know, since Chez's fiance is also named Kristian) that he works with at Greenfield. Christian was there with his step-dad and girlfriend Megan. I really didn't talk with them much, but I could tell they were cool people. I am just glad that Chez has people to hang out with in PA now that he no longer is living here in WV.
By the time we captured these photos,
A fine opportunity for photos
Before we finally left for the day at 5 pm, we got some last photos. There were great spots to pose at all over the Kissel Valley Farm. I wanted to leave my mark on all of them. This old-school yellow Ford was another must, especially with the fine craftsmanship just behind it. I'm so happy for Chez and Kristian, also
A great time at Kissel Valley Farm
This event was the best part of the weekend. Chez, you are an absolute master planner for suggesting we go check this place out. I had an absolute blast and am so happy that we were able to join you and Kristian at this awesome beer garden. I will remember this day for the rest of my life.
The Kissel Valley Farm sign. Right across the street is a matching yellow 69 Camaro, which is such a badass car. If you know you know. Looked a lot like Bumblebee from the Transformers films.
Thanks for checking out my blog 😎🤝
I hope you had as much fun reading through this. I know I enjoyed every second of throwing it all together for the world to see.
