LINVILLA ORCHARDS, MEDIA, PENNSYLVANIA (Brookhaven, PA - Delaware County)

Media, PA 19063

Linvilla Orchards is an all season, all age attraction located on the outskirts of Media and Brookhaven. One can easily slip out of suburbia and into the countryside by visiting Linvilla in order to regain a sense of connection with nature and life on the farm. Linvilla keeps up with all the seasons not only in providing the fruits and vegetables that most seasons bring, but they provide attractions, like Pumpkin Land and blueberry picking; activities to engage people in the season that is at hand.

There is a store for buying many edible goods, a zoo of sorts where one can see animals up close, craft shows and special events throughout the year, a playground and of course many acres of farmland.

Close to the main entrance are the remains of a stone foundation of an octagon barn, which was a main attraction in itself prior to its destruction in a fire in 2002. A wonderful building missed by many, myself included. There are plans to rebuild the barn in the future.
