Peddler’s Village: From Chicken Farm to Storybook Escape

In this episode, we take a calm walk through Peddler’s Village in Bucks County, Pennsylvania—looking at how a former chicken farm became a small, privately run shopping and festival destination. You’ll hear a straightforward story of its founding in the 1960s, how the layout and gardens were designed, and how traditions like the Strawberry Festival, Scarecrow displays, holiday lights, and gingerbread competition grew over time. It’s not a guide packed with secret tips, but a simple, narrative overview of what the place is, how it came to be, and what visitors can expect in different seasons.
