Our Roots

The Firefly Hollow Wellness® Center sits on a historic York County Markey Farm that lights up with fireflies during the summer months.The farm has been in South York/Dallastown Area adjacent to the Olde Tollgate Village since the early 1900s. The Markey Farm served as a place of joy and healing for families in York over the last century, as their doors were always open for those seeking solace.

With Deep Local Roots, Firefly Hollow continues to serve as a Beacon of Light and Place of Healing for residents of York.
