Saddle Up for a Pony Ride at Sandy Hill Farm

May 17, 2016 by

“A laidback oasis close to the city.” That’s how a local describes the atmosphere of Sandy Hill Farm. Located in Plymouth Meeting, Sandy Hill Farm has been a family-run business for 30 years and counting. It's the perfect place to take young children for a fun and unique learning experience!

Sandy Hill Farm is particularly popular for kids' birthday parties. Experience a full petting farm with goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, bunnies, and pigs. After the petting farm, you can head over to brush the ponies and even hop in the saddle yourself. To end your party, you'll embark on a scenic hayride around the farm, then relax in the party room with refreshments and of course, cake.

Sandy Hill Farm also offers a summer camp for animal lovers from ages 3-11 years old, where they will learn basic horseback riding skills and animal care.

Pay Homage to Slapstick Pioneers at Stoogeum

September 29, 2015 by

The Three Stooges defined an era in film. It ushered in a genre of slapstick and physical comedy that hadn't really been seen before this dynamic duo began gracing movie screens across the country. At Stoogeum in Lower Gwynedd, the legacy of The Three Stooges lives on in a collection of Stooge-centric exhibits.

Playfully referred to as "Stoogeabilia," the artifacts on display number close to 100,000. They're spread throughout a 10,000-square foot space with three floors, and they date as far back as 1918. One exhibit is dedicated entirely to original movie posters from the Stooges' early shorts, whereas another showcases props and costumes actually used in the films and live shows. You'll also find Stooge-inspired artwork and rare photos at Stoogeum, making it the ultimate spot to stop for a Stooge fanatic.

Maple Acres Farm: Eat Fresh, Local Produce

September 9, 2014 by

Whether you want to shop at the farm-fresh market or decide to drive out to the farm itself for a day of pick-your-own fun, Maple Acres Farm in Plymouth Meeting is a good choice. Everything at this market is picked daily, and you'll find whatever is in season and at the peak of ripeness. During the spring months, the market is full of fresh, crisp lettuce and other greens, while in mid-summer the crops lean more toward juicy heirloom tomatoes and corn on the cob. As cool weather returns, so do acorn squash and root vegetables.

The farm's unique pick-your-own flower fields are especially popular during the summer. Walk through a meadow of colorful zinnias, picking out an armful to display as a centerpiece for your dining room table, or let one of the farm's staff florists arrange your fresh-cut flowers into a professionally crafted bouquet. Return in the fall to bring home some pumpkins!

Check the website to see what's in season and available on any given week.
