Linvilla Orchards knows that food trucks serve some of the most delicious cuisine in the region, which is why it rounds up a handful of regional favorites for its Food Truck Frenzy events. This fest is planned for April and June, and previous event vendors have included 22BBQ, Korea Taqueria, Victor’s Pizza, Cousins Maine Lobster and Vera’s Water Ice. Tickets aren’t required this year, but you will need them for activities, so the orchard recommends purchasing them in advance if you plan on adding a hayride or train ride around the orchard with the family.
