Historic Round Barn & Farm Market

About Historic Round Barn & Farm Market

The Historic Round Barn stands as one of Adams County's most photographed landmarks, a stunning example of agricultural architecture that has served local farmers for over a century. Located just minutes from Pine Ridge Campground, this working farm market combines history, architecture, and fresh local products.

Round barns are rare survivors of an experimental building movement from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Farmers believed the circular design provided more efficient space use and better grain storage. Today, fewer than a thousand round barns remain in the United States, making this Biglerville example a precious piece of farming heritage.

The barn now operates as a farm market, offering fresh local produce, baked goods, preserves, and Pennsylvania Dutch treats. Step inside and you're surrounded by the unique curved walls and central silo that define round barn architecture. The wooden beams and construction techniques visible throughout tell the story of craftsmen who built to last.

Outside, the barn's distinctive silhouette rises against the orchard landscape. Photographers love capturing the structure from various angles, especially during golden hour or with fall foliage in the background. The setting provides a perfect representation of Adams County's agricultural character.

For Pine Ridge campers, the Round Barn offers both visual beauty and practical shopping. Pick up fresh produce and baked goods for your campsite while experiencing a genuine piece of American farming history.
