The thriving local economy owes a lot of its success to the surrounding farms and businesses in the agricultural industry. Aside from dairy, livestock, and typical crop operations, Adams County is known for its wide range of fruit orchards. Fruit growers offer pick-your-own options and market stands for customers to access their fresh-picked produce easily. Local restaurants, wineries, breweries, and manufacturers also use local farms for their food and products, including applesauce and juices. Not to mention, Adams County is known for its annual National Apple Harvest Festival.
