| - Simmons Farm is located in McMurray, PA, and offers pick your own peaches, apples and pumpkins. The farm stand is located on Route 19 just as you cross over the Washington County line as you head south, and is open early spring through late fall. I live a quarter of a mile from the stand, so I'm in often. Depending on the time of year, they have flowers and plants, fresh berries, peaches, apples, corn on the cob, tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce and a variety of other fresh produce. I drop by Simmons all season long to get my local produce, and go every October to pick out a couple of pumpkins to carve for Halloween. They always have a pie baking in the oven, so it smells heavenly every time you go in. There are two ladies who've been working there for years, and it took a couple of years for them to warm up to me (seriously) but I was in the service industry and am deeply compassionate toward those who must wait on a sometimes clueless public. I get these ladies. The corn on the cob is bagged is plastic...6 ears to a bag...and you're not supposed to go through them and switch them out. That's really the only rule, so go and have a nice time. They have hayrides, Pick U-R Own, birthday parties and a green house at the farm itself out on Simmons Road, so bring the kids and have some local fun.
