All Months
April through October gives you the best weather and all attractions open, but each season offers something different. Spring brings baby animals at the farms and comfortable temperatures in the 60s and 70s. Summer gets busy with families, but that's when you'll find the most farmers markets and outdoor activities. Fall delivers spectacular foliage across the farmland, plus harvest season means fresh apple cider and pumpkin everything. Even winter has its charm — many Amish businesses stay open, and you'll have attractions mostly to yourself. Just bundle up because temperatures drop into the 20s and 30s. Avoid major holidays when tour buses multiply and restaurants get packed. The sweet spot is weekdays in late spring or early fall when the weather's perfect and crowds thin out.
