Things to Do
Go on a farmland adventure with Discover Lancaster’s mobile passport
Discover Lancaster's free mobile passport lets you check in at stops around the county.
There are many things that make Lancaster special, and at the top of the list is the county’s vast and preserved farmland just minutes from Lancaster City. The produce, meats, and cheeses produced from Lancaster County farms have put Lancaster on the map and contribute to making our local markets and farm-to-table restaurants must-visit destinations.
To celebrate the beauty of our community, Discover Lancaster has launched the Farm Adventure Trail—a free mobile passport that allows you to check in at farm-to-table restaurants, roadside stands, farm-themed attractions, and preserved farms for special offers through November 3.
They invite you to visit some of these featured local favorites and find the full list of participating businesses by downloading your own adventure passport.

Preserving our heritage

With the launch of Discover Lancaster’s Farm Adventure Trail and the relaunch of the Ice Cream Trail, there will be an option for users to donate directly to the Farmland Trust. This collaboration aims to preserve the picturesque landscapes and agricultural heritage that attract nearly 10 million visitors to the Lancaster area each year.
