Miller's Country Store at Fairyland Farms

Diehl, Fairyland Farms started as a small farm operation with a few animals and developed to "a modern farm of over 1,200 acres" with various amounts of beef cattle, hogs, turkeys, horses, and the biggest sector of it all-- the dairy cattle herd. With the dairy herd, Fairyland Farms became well established with their very own milk, butter, and ice cream. In 1940 a small store, the Fairyland Farms

Dairy Store (or the "Dairy Bar" as most said) was opened up on the farm where the home-grown "Famous Fairyland Farms Products" could be bought. Since then, many of these dairy items (milk bottles, calendars, etc) have become quite sought-after antiques in the local area. Aside of the animal and farming culture, Fairyland Farms was a place to visit and picnic with family and friends while listening to live music performance and also watch the famous Fairyland Farms Cardinals Baseball Team. Small games could be played by children too. Fairyland Farms was a great place to learn about agriculture and have fun with family and friends while enjoying things like a good old fashioned milk shake. After the farm split ways and the dairy herd was sold off in the 1970's, Miller's County Store was opened up in the 1980's to keep the family farm going along with the remaining livestock and crops. The Store was founded by John & Kathryn Miller and Robert & Fern Miller as a small "mom & pop" store where regular groceries, deli, ice cream, and local arts and crafts could be bought. Today, the Store and Farm are owned by Robert & Fern Miller and helped run by the rest of the family in 6 generations. There are over 200 acres on the farm between the fields, woods, and barns. Corn, soybeans, oats, rye, barley, and hay are all grown to provide for the beef cattle, sheep, poultry, and horses on the farm. We also have a blueberry patch and a few small gardens of other fruits and veggies on occasion. Look for our produce as well as other locally grown produce for sale during the seasons at our Store!!! Fairyland Farms may not be as big as it once was, but with it's hearty family atmosphere and historical values, it still runs strong with the land and animals that inhabit it. Stop on in at the Store for your small groceries and/or farm needs or even just stop for a chat from the family as they are well known by all in the area!!! http://agmap.psu.edu/businesses/index.cfm?fid=9684
