Bruce Hollabaugh 5K Memorial Run

Our 4th Generation family farm has been growing apples for 70 years! We will mark this special anniversary with special events, celebrations, appreciation days and so much more. Be sure to follow us here for all of the latest news and events. Our first anniversary event will be the 1st Annual Bruce Hollabaugh 5K Memorial Run. This annual event will take place right here on our family farm and will benefit the Bruce A. Hollabaugh Memorial Endowment Fund. Bruce Hollabaugh was a member of our 3rd Generation here on the farm. Bruce left this world suddenly and way to soon during the winter of 2022 at the age of 41, leaving behind an enormous hole in the family’s hearts and business. Bruce was the production manager here at the farm. He had returned to the family farm in May of 2002 after graduating from The Pennsylvania State University with degrees in horticulture and Spanish.  Bruce became an owner and member of the company’s board of directors in 2007.  A fluent Spanish speaker, Bruce was widely known and respected not only by our own employees, but throughout the community as an advocate for and friend to the latino population in Adams County. While managing the company’s ever growing and changing tree fruits, Bruce also introduced the production of small fruits and vegetables to the Hollabaugh farm; including blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, pumpkins, sweet corn, summer veggies, and potatoes. He will hold a constant place in our hearts and on this farm forever. For Bruce, we will farm. Bruce loved to run and we are excited to host this event here on our family farm in his memory. Make plans to join us as a runner, walker, or spectator. The race will kick-off at 9am. We will have food truck(s), raffles, awards, and more. Early bird entry fee is $30 through February 28, 2025. Registration includes a race t-shirt and proceeds will benefit the Bruce A. Hollabaugh Memorial Endowment Fund.
