WE LCOM E TO THE SUM M E R edition of Fig. Number 58 for me, and a difficult and unusual time for most small businesses in the city—Fig Industries included—and beyond. What started as a surreal and temporary situation in late March quickly escalated into months of uncertainty for the future of our community. I’ve tried hard to stay positive and find ways to support my friends who own businesses, even if it’s simply an ear to listen, as I’ve feared for my team and for the city I love.

And then, I watched as our community sprang into action in creative ways to bring relief to individuals and businesses. We pivoted, learned, and grew. In just three months, our city is operating in new ways—to reach their customers, gather their congregations, and host their events. Call it forced innovation, if you will, but it’s amazing, and it’s working. Now, as I write this—as the City is slowly emerging from quarantine, we find ourselves amidst a passionate call to action for all of us, to hear and join the voices calling for long overdue change to address this country’s long history of racial injustice. Marches and vigils have gathered this community— and communities all over the world—to unite around this critical cause. We have been saddened and we have been inspired. Amongst the turmoil, there is also a great sense of hope. Looking around me, at my team here at Fig, at the City of Lancaster and beyond—I feel it, too. Lancaster is built on ingenuity and collaboration. From day one, one thing that will always remain constant is that this community is extraordinary and we will always come together to support each other—so we can be an even stronger and more resilient city as we move forward. I am incredibly blessed to live and work in this city.

A NOTE FROM FIG

support our city.

This issue may be the most important in our 14-year history. It is dedicated, more than ever, to our resilient small business community and Fig’s mission of supporting local. And it would not be possible without the champions who joined our cause: LCA, LCSWMA, Armstrong World Industries, Murray, Willow Valley Communities, Greenfield, and Zamagias Properties. Like us, these businesses and organizations believe in our city and know that small businesses are our heart and soul. They’ve come together to honor many of the restaurants and boutiques in our Support Small Business section. We are also grateful for the support of LCCF and High Foundation who are bringing you inspiring stories of kindness, courage and tenacity in our Find the Good pages. There are hard days ahead, but there are also hard days behind. Please use this issue as a guide to support the small businesses of our city in new and different ways. Now is the time to rally around our downtown, and everyone in it. We are a strong, resilient city and together we can make a difference. DEBORAH BRANDT & THE FIG INDUSTRIES TEAM

The Table Is Almost Set... And you’re invited!

Family owned and operated since 1946, Lombardo’s authentic family recipes put Italian dishes with exotic names like spaghetti, red sauce, calamari, arancini, and cannoli into Lancaster’s culinary lexicon. Generations later, those beloved favorites are still in style and share the plate with delicious new recipes inspired by the contemporary flavors of Italy.

Even more in style is Lombardo’s newly renovated decor, wine room, and piano lounge. The updated menu maintains the tradition of “everything fresh” with handmade pasta and the abundance of locally sourced meats and produce made delicious in recipes like bolognese with handmade pappardelle, wild mushroom pasta with homemade gemelli, black truffle and mushroom arancini with tomato and fennel jam, as well as pizza and other entrees in keeping with the flavors of Italy.

There’s always something delicious cooking in the kitchen. Enjoy a great Italian meal with friends and family and share the Lombardo’s tradition of warm hospitality and divine Italian dishes cooked with love. When Lombardo’s reopens this summer, reservations will be required, and limited to three seatings*: 5 pm–6:30 pm, 6:30 pm–8 pm, 8 pm–close

Most did not know each other prior to forming this group, but they united to serve a community need. When they began hearing about local hospitals and primary caregivers running out of protective face masks, several prolific seamsters formed online groups, inviting others to join to pool resources, producing masks and distributing them as quickly as possible. These groups soon realized they could be even more effective by combining forces. Coordinating with local entrepreneurs Phil and Annamarie Lapp, the 501c3 nonprofit Lancaster Masks was born. A 100% volunteer organization, all sales proceeds from Lancaster Masks go towards efforts to help Lancaster County open safely.

GIVING BACK Making a difference in the lives of others.

Giving Back: Grape Leaf Cafe PAT I E N C E B U C K W A LT E R has always been intrigued by the role of relationships in the human experience. “I’m just naturally drawn to people. I love relationships and I think they’re so important. If I wasn’t naturally a people person this would have fizzled out but I’ve always known there was something special about community.” The community that Patience found in Lancaster with a newly resettled Syrian neighbor sparked an idea. Patience felt the warmth and reception that her neighbor always offered her. The hospitality and generosity that she poured out when Patience came to visit went deeper than the delectable tea and cookies that were served. The offering of her neighbor’s culture and customs through her cooking and hospitality was a true extension of friendship and community that resonated and radiated differently from other interactions. When Patience offered the idea to her friend about a platform where she and others in the refugee community could cook

and sell their food to members of the community, the enthusiastic response became Grape Leaf Cafe. Patrons of the Cafe and Catering kitchen get to experience various cultures through the language of food. “You’re learning and taking a piece of their story through the food that we share.” The women do their cooking intuitively, using generations of recipes shared via experience, not specific measurements. The result is an authentic outpouring of community translated into every bite. From the success of Grape Leaf Cafe, came inspiration for the Empowerment Center. Through the Empowerment Center Patience is able to contribute her gifting as a people person and her background as a social worker to empower and support refugees and immigrants to find community, purpose, and opportunity in their new home. “Our center and our café can be in any city that has refugees and immigrants. It’s not a giant, complicated formula, it’s just integrating and helping people feel a part of the community.” Learn more about Grape Leaf Cafe at grapeleafcenter.com Open May–September J 30 West James Street, Lancaster Grape Leaf also provides catering year-round.

Empowering stories about women who have big ideas and get things done. Y E LE N A KO R A B LI N : TR ADITION B RE AD BAKE RY Bread baking is a tradition that dates back more than 30,000 years, but thanks to its mass production in the early 20th century, the techniques we use today are almost unrecognizable. Yelena Korablin, sole baker at Tradition Bread Bakery (located just 3 miles north of Downtown Lancaster), has experienced the consequences of this drastic change in bread baking first hand. After her husband became extremely ill with digestive issues, the first thing he was advised to cut from his diet was storebought bread. Then, her daughter began exhibiting the same mysterious symptoms and doctors recommended she do the same. As a self-taught baker and bread lover, Yelena couldn’t help but take interest in this frustrating phenomena: why was bread always the enemy, especially considering it was one of humankind’s first foods? Her investigation led her way, way back to traditional bread recipes, far predating the bagged bread we buy in stores today. She learned that by using ancient grains and naturally leavening her bread instead of using quick-rise yeast, she could make loaves that were safe enough for her family to enjoy, ailment free. Science can explain how these age-old fermentation processes make bread more digestible and nutritious, but instinct and sense may tell us another story: one that demonstrates how hitting the pause button, taking the scenic route, and letting love and time do the heavy lifting produces a superior product. Yelena has now manifested this wisdom and experience into Tradition

Bread Bakery, a certified micro-cottage operation that she runs out of her home in the Belair neighborhood. Even through all she has learned and accomplished, she is still humble about her mission. “I’m just a mom who cares about all the kids out there being healthy, being happy, and never getting sick from their food,” she modestly declares. You can read up on ancient grains, order Yelena’s baked goods or purchase a monthly bread subscription by visiting her website, TraditionBread.com.

Lancaster County has a long history of innovation and resilience. This issue celebrates some of the individuals who are harnessing the present situation to pivot their approach and reimagine how they run their business and the new ways they can strengthen our community.

While we're all facing an uncertain future and sharing common struggles, we’re not all experiencing this crisis in the same way, particularly people of color who are being disproportionately impacted by COVID 19. Creative and empathetic business owners have tuned into the different needs of customers and neighbors, and are adjusting their approach to meet the moment in new and profound ways. Chef Oliver Saye, owner of a local catering business, immediately added a pay-itforward element that has allowed him to nourish

dozens of families suddenly in need of food. The Fulton Theatre, a storied institution in Lancaster, has retooled its costume shop to begin making personal protective equipment (PPE) to meet local needs and also keep people employed. These stories and more are the inspiration we need to see a path forward. We’re all facing new and unpredictable challenges, and our solutions must rise to meet them. As we continue to Find the Good that is emerging during this crisis, we can also find some hope. This hope will help unite energy and purpose across Lancaster County as we continue to build our community’s shared future together. This special section is sponsored by:

“

I love to cook and take care of my fellow neighbors.”

Pay It Forward Project Chef Oliver Saye

F O R C H E F O L I V E R S AY E , whose name you may recognize from his delicious ready-to-eat products at Lemon Street Market, paying it forward was something that was always on his mind. But connecting the dots between his catering company and doing good proved to be more difficult than he expected. “I always wanted to,” he explains, “But never really found a way.” Then, at the beginning of the social distancing order in March, a window opened. Around the same time that he started receiving cancellations for all of the events he had planned to cook for, a friend unexpectedly dropped $200 in Oliver’s lap. He knew exactly what to do with it: utilize his passion and experience in preparing ready-made meals to feed those in need. “It was awesome. I mean, I love to cook, so that’s cool, right?” he laughs. “And I also love to take care of my fellow neighbors.” Without a doubt, this was his opportunity to fully manifest the personal motto he lives by: “E ach one help one.” As the project saw great success, Chef Oliver began reaching out on social media to friends and followers to support his new “Pay It Forward” project on CashApp, Venmo, and GoFundMe. In less than a month, donors smashed his goal of $2,000 by doubling it. And it’s still growing! In the future, Oliver plans on integrating his “E ach one help one” philosophy as a permanent part of his culinary services. As for what the pandemic has taught him? “Make sure you have a plan B. Even a plan c!” He chuckles. “And just be kind to your fellow residents. Really look out for each other.” Neighbors can help Oliver continue to serve hungry families by donating at gofundme.com/ pay-it-forward-culinary-services-delivery, or directly to his venmo account: @Oliver-Saye.

Mustafa Nuur

T H I S I S N ’ T M U S TA FA N U U R ’ S first community support project, and it certainly won’t be his last. As Executive Director at Bridge, a refugee owned and run company that hosts cultural events connecting local and immigrant neighbors, one could say with confidence that giving back is his calling. “I was talking to my employees, talking to my customers, and asking them ‘how can I help?’ —one of the first things I realized was that some people couldn’t even get to the grocery store,” Mustafa recalls. So he got to work immediately, fundraising and organizing a grocery delivery service for folks living alone or without transportation. Mustafa also teamed up with volunteers to make phone calls and perform wellness check-ins for these same families. But that wasn’t all—using donations both from the community and his organization, Mustafa was also able to coordinate rental assistance for his employees and staff. “We all try to serve in different ways.” he explains, when asked how he came up with the idea. “For some of us, we have to stay home; some of us do a little more engagement.” By supporting Mustafa and his efforts, you support an entire population.

So when the pains of the pandemic began surfacing, they jumped right in. “We were feeling sad and disheartened by what our invisible community is feeling,” explains Rebecca Wood, who owns Foxduck with husband Ryan Keates and brother Josh. “So we were excited to learn more about CAP [Community Action Partnership of Lancaster County] and how they are helping the community.” Inspired by CAP’s tireless work to continuously provide antipoverty programs under the social distancing order, Ryan designed a t-shirt based on the concept of “Solidarity,” utilizing a wolf’s image to symbolize perseverance, loyalty, stability, and family. 50% of their sales were then donated to the foundation, which ended up totalling $5,123. But it’s not just about t-shirts, the Foxduck family insists. They urge those moved to help to contribute to the Lancaster chapter of CAP directly at c aplanc.org/support-cap.

Scarlet Runner Food Delivery Hilary Mace

PA R T O F O W N I N G a business is learning to continuously adapt under stressful, unpredictable, and sometimes even disheartening circumstances. But how can a catering company be expected to adapt when large public gatherings—which are at the very core of their offering—are banned from happening, indefinitely? Hilary Mace, chef and owner of the catering company Scarlet Runner, looked this terrifying scenario straight in the face as every last one of her spring clients canceled due to Governor Wolf’s social distancing order. With most of the food already purchased for these events, Hilary knew she’d have to pivot. “I just had this moment where I thought to myself: What can we do to spread this food to people who need it? And what can I do to keep my staff working?” Hilary recalls. Within 48 hours, The Scarlet Runner had been effectively transformed into a contactless food delivery service, donating nutritious, fresh meals to people in need. The response was overwhelming; 8 weeks in, Hilary and her team had been able to deliver 4,300 free meals, thanks entirely to donations made by the Lancaster community. “Knowing that we’re able to help these people is really what’s gotten all of us through this whole thing,” Hilary says. “It’s honestly been the most gratifying experience for me.” While she doesn’t know what the future holds, Hilary is certain that giving back will become a permanent part of her business model. And though her ability to adapt to such sudden and traumatic change so well has been a huge component to her successes, she also stresses how crucial the community’s support has been; while donations have primarily sustained the operation, even the simple act of buying a fresh, vegan friendly, and locally based meal online from The Scarlet Runner is a contribution to the cause.

Kyle Sollenberger & Crystal Weaver W H E N T H I N K I N G A B O U T local businesses, we'd be remiss not to mention the Commons Company; with ventures like Prince Street Cafe, Merrymaker Catering, and Passenger Coffee Roasters, the certified B Corp not only has a reputation for being a Lancaster staple, but also for nourishing a community-driven culture. So, as the crisis began to develop in mid-March, it was only natural that founders Crystal Weaver and Kyle Sollenberger felt called to help. “We had an overstock of supplies and nowhere to sell them” Kyle remembers. “Peers in the industry also had products they needed to get off their hands and out into customers’... And it’s always been part of our DNA to work with our industry peers, to try and help them where we can.” Born from that ethos was the “Commons Food Hub”—a grocery service that connected customers to local vendors. Folks can order online, drive to either their Lancaster or Lititz pickup station, and pop their trunk for an entirely contactless experience. And with vendors like Rooster Street Butcher, Barr’s Produce, Pine View Dairy, Tomato Pie Cafe, Thistle Finch, and Levengoods, Lancastrians can be certain they’re supporting the high-quality brands they know and love.

“

Remarkably, within the first 30 days of its conception, Commons Food Hub was able to pay out a businesssaving $100,000 to vendors. Some have even been experiencing unexpected benefits from the program. Says Kyle: “It’s really neat to see these vendors reach new markets...and also just to see the support of the community for vendors they know and trust.”

It’s always been part of our DNA to work with our industry peers, to try and help them where we can.”

In addition to the Commons Food Hub, The Commons Company is also hosting a donation-based Bagged Lunch Program, in which both furloughed and active employees work to prepare 200 bagged lunches every Sunday for The Parish Resource Center, a nonprofit focused on feeding those in need. Those with the means to give can conveniently add 1, 10, or 50 bags to their carts when ordering from the Commons Food Hub online at c ommonsfoodhub.com.

Fulton Theatre “3G” Initiative Marc Robin

T H E F U LT O N T H E AT R E marquee has an essential message for Downtown Lancaster: W e’re All in This Together. In line with this belief, plus their newest “3G Initiative” to G ive Thanks, Give Back, and Give Hope, the not-for-profit recently made a bold move after postponing their current season: converting their costume and scene shops into gown and mask production studios. Marc Robin, Executive Artistic Producer and CEO of the theatre, took one look at his staff of skilled artisans back in March and knew he’d need a creative solution to keep them working. “Like every theatre organization, you have to think out of the box,” he says. Luckily, creative problem solving is an indispensable component to how The Fulton Theatre is operated. And thanks to generous donors like Ed and Jeanne Arnold (as well as members of the Fulton board), the theatre was able to obtain equipment and funds imperative to seeing that creativity through—in addition to the 500 cloth masks and 200 hospital grade disposable gowns already produced, staff is utilizing a 3D printer and laser cutter to craft plastic face shields for medical facilities other than hospitals who are short on supplies. To help continue this tireless effort, Marc hopes the Fulton Theatre’s “3G” initiative will encourage able members of the community to donate even the smallest amount to help fund materials for their project. Just $5, for example, is enough to back a mask; $10 buys an entire gown. For the Fulton Theatre team, giving back, giving thanks, and giving hope to a town that has supported them since the beginning is a no-brainer. “To be able to give something back legitimately is amazing,” says Marc. He truly believes that “by being the kindest and best versions that we can be, as organizations and as humans, we’ll get through this together.”

P E R H A P S T H E M O S T underrated services are those continuing to provide programming that stokes the intellectual curiosity of our community. The importance of staying engaged both mentally and socially has never been more obvious. Luckily, the Lancaster Public Library was prepared for a major shift into the digital world; so when their physical doors closed, a virtual window opened. The nonprofit quickly began redirecting funds towards apps called “OverDrive” and “Hoopla,” which allow users to borrow movies, music, and eBooks with their library cards. And instead of canceling their programming, they took it all online: hosting book clubs, social gatherings, and even a live story time for kids. Executive Director Lissa Holland is an optimist. She sees this unpredictable time as a learning opportunity to help the Library decide how to adapt more permanently to the modern technological landscape. “It really will be a group effort of the patrons and librarians working together to see how to best serve our community,” she explains. In light of recent uncertainties, Lissa is also asking library patrons to evolve along with them. “We’re coming back to a very different environment,” she says.

AutoPilot:Off’s “Creek Don’t Rise” Movement Rasha Clark & David Godin

R A S H A A N D D AV I D , filmmakers and co-founders of the production company AutoPilot:Off, were developing their Lancaster-based feature film “Creek Don’t Rise” when they got word of the social distancing order. Their debut feature, based on a true story, follows a former South-Sudanese refugee who befriends a local Lancaster woman with bipolar disorder as they both cope with being unable to see their children. In the wake of the pandemic, the couple couldn’t help but draw coincidental parallels between their film and the current situation: from the isolation of its characters and real families everywhere, to the importance of cultivating a true sense of community. In response and in the spirit of the film’s message, they turned their attention to their “Creek Don’t Rise” facebook page. Instead of using it for crowdfunding like they’d planned, they began asking for self-shot cell phone videos from followers discussing their definition of community, and how they’re dealing with the fragile emotional and mental state that solitude creates.

multiple giving back initiatives. “We consider this both a responsibility and a privilege,” says Roger. As for Water Street Mission, one of the most respected organizations in Lancaster, the Lititz Community Hub has been imperative to their success. “It’s been an incredible gift and blessing,” says Jon. “We are so grateful for the heart of compassion and the generosity displayed by our community, even in this difficult time.”

When Ross Kramer, CEO of Listrak, realized that the company’s full-service kitchen (which served 150 meals a day) would be sitting empty during the social distancing order, he knew something had to be done. That’s when he called friend and Founder/President of North Group Consultants, Roger North.

Interested parties can learn more about how Water Street Mission is serving its community during this crisis at w sm.org/COVID-19. To donate food or sponsor meals for this effort, please visit lititzcommunityhub.com.

“Since Roger sits on the board of directors for Water Street Mission, he was aware of the challenges in feeding their guests due to the public health crisis,” explains Ross. “I immediately thought about the ‘most vulnerable among us.’ Water Street serves those folks. So, we began a conversation that, within 48 hours, resulted in this initiative.” Roger elaborates. Ross and Roger then reached out to Jon Eisenberg, VP of Advancement, Water Street Mission. And that’s when they hatched a plan: Listrak’s cafeteria, run by Chef Chris Panas, would prepare individually packaged microwavable meals. The North Group would both fundraise for the cause and transport the meals to Water Street Mission; and there, Jon and his team would distribute them to hungry guests. But make no mistake—this partnership was no happy accident. Both Listrak and the North Group are intentionally run with inextricable core values like altruism and compassion. One of Listrak’s core tenets, in fact, is to “give back in the communities where we work and live”; offering employees three paid volunteer days per year. And the North Group credits their faith for the animation of their

Takeout beer became the new norm for a community suddenly under orders to stay home and restaurants closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We’ve really come together as a community,” says Smith. He recalls the time when a neighboring brewery ran out of crowlers, and Columbia Kettleworks was able to give them their own crowlers to hold them over. Then, when they ran out of crowlers a month later, the favor was returned. Columbia Kettle Works cooked down extra beer into hand sanitizer to donate to local EMT and police units and other frontline workers when the pandemic struck.

The Wilbur family never imagined that a small chocolate drop would change history. As a family who got their start in chocolate-making by chance, the Wilburs went on to create an iconic chocolate that’s been loved and savored by fans for over a century. As the Civil War was ending in 1865, entrepreneur H.O. Wilbur took a chance on a business opportunity with partner Samuel Croft and started producing molasses and hard candies for sale on passenger trains. Success came easily to Wilbur & Croft, and they expanded within Philadelphia, also adding chocolate-making capabilities to their operations. As H.O. was nearing retirement, he decided to PICTURED ABOVE

Throughout the dynamic and successful period at the end of the 19th century, the Wilbur sons brought other relatives into the fold, including two of H.O.’s brothers who had received training making chocolate in France and Germany. As a family who relied on their own ingenuity and learned from the world’s finest chocolatiers, the Wilburs are best known for their defining creation: the Wilbur Bud. This velvety smooth drop has a look that’s inspired by a flower bud, and a rich, distinctive taste that’s inspired by a premium chocolate recipe. Today, the Wilbur legacy of craftsmanship and care is still at the heart of every Bud and confection they create—and quality is still the ingredient that matters most. Wilbur has produced premium, American-made chocolate using the same ingredients for over a century. Sustainably sourced cocoa beans. Fine dairy. Rich vanilla.

GOLDEN LEGACY 66

Cave paintings in Europe indicate that more than 8,000 years ago, Mesolithic humans collected honey from beehives using a system of ropes and ladders. The cultural significance and symbolism of this “liquid gold” spans across centuries and hemispheres, from the beekeeping laws of Hellenistic Athens to the honey-filled clay vessels discovered in Egyptian tombs. Today, however, the single most universally recognizable totem of honey is far more simple: the squeezable honey bear bottle. What many don’t know is that this classic packaging design came right from the dinner table of the Gambers, Lancaster locals and one of the county’s most successful entrepreneurial families, in 1957. Aptly named “Dutch Gold Honey,” Ralph Gamber’s family honey business began in 1946 when a doctor ordered him to find a relaxing “hobby” in response to his heart issues. That’s when, much to the chagrin of his wife Luella, Ralph ventured off

LANCASTER COUNTY gave us our start, so giving back to the community is really important.”

to purchase 3 colonies of bees at a local farm sale. But due to the inherent entrepreneurial spirit of the Gambers, beekeeping wouldn’t remain a “hobby” for long; before they knew it, the operation had outgrown their home and expanded into its own separate honey house. Nancy Gamber, Ralph’s daughter and now President and Chief Executive Officer of Dutch Gold Honey, remembers her father as a natural when it came to matters of business. “He had a vision for the future,” she recalls. “My parents worked very hard to make the whole company work…that’s why they relied on their family.” And even as the company expanded and shifted into honey packaging, the Gambers held those family and community values close. To this day, Dutch Gold Honey maintains an open door policy for its 100 employees. Additionally, the company has donated $2 million dollars to their community initiative, the Gamber Foundation, which supports charitable organizations across Lancaster. “Lancaster County gave us our start, so giving back to the community is really important,” Nancy explains.

in sales, the company refused to stoop to the level of their competitors—instead, they teamed up with others in the Honey Industry to create the True Source Certification, an effort that advocates for the traceability of honey products, all the way back to beekeepers. It’s more than apparent that Dutch Gold Honey still takes to heart Ralph Gamber’s famous promise: “We only pack the best, let the others pack the rest!” When Nancy became of working age, she was given the vital task of hand painting the eyes and noses of those iconic, squeezable plastic honey bears. At the time, the family business didn’t feel like anything special. But as the years passed, she realized the significance of continuing the Dutch Gold Honey legacy, it’s importance to the Lancaster community and the honey industry at large. “I felt as if this was my path,” Nancy reveals. Dutch Gold Honey’s products can be found on the shelves of grocery stores across the country. But those interested in more rare varietals (or ordering in bulk) can also place orders on their website, dutchgoldhoney.com. And, yes: even online, you can still purchase those adorable honey bears.

But perhaps the most remarkable feat of Dutch Gold Honey was their unwavering commitment to the quality of their product back when a wave of imported, adulterated honey overtook grocery stores. When this crisis caused a noticeable decrease 2220 DUTCH GOLD DRIVE

100 YEARS. Smoking meat is one of the oldest food preservation methods dating back to ancient times. In addition to preservation, it is also an artful and scientific way to add flavor as well as a rich, brown color to meats.

d Sa m Clyde an r ve ea Em m a W

Sam Clyde and Emma Weaver found joy in serving others and a knack for smoking meats. In 1920, they started smoking meats at their family home and selling them at the Lancaster City Northern Market on North Queen Street, moving to Lancaster Central Market in 1929. Business was good for over a decade when Clyde and Emma discovered an innovation which would bring the daily sandwich to a new level: Boiled Ham. In a day where dried beef, Lebanon bologna, sweet bologna, and canned corn beef were brought to the market warm and sliced on site as the staple lunch meats, it

was no wonder that the new method, which included cooking smoked ham overnight with sugar and spices, changed the game for a ready-to-eat sliced meat. They also added cheese to their repertoire. Round wooden boxes of 80-pound cheddars from Wisconsin and 200-pound wheels of Swiss Cheese from Ohio would be delivered to the East Petersburg train station where they would be stored next to large barrels of dill pickles in their basement near the smokehouse. S. Clyde Weaver continued to grow through the years as they expanded into Lebanon, Rosemont, Upper Darby, Coatesville, and Sharon Hill. The year 1961 brought a new building in East Petersburg which included a retail store to better service their customers. This store still serves as S. Clyde Weaver’s main location. As Weavers is always looking for innovative ways to service their customers, they found an opportunity to work with a dairy co-op in Quebec and purchase exceptional Canadian Cheddar in the 1980’s. This particular cheese was perfect for long-term aging. Weavers ages this cheese to 5, 7, and 10 years. You can find it today (named Super Sharp Canadian Cheddar) in any of their stores. In addition to their quality meats and cheeses, Weavers rounds out their offerings with their own confections to include Lancaster County favorites such as shoo-fly pie and whoopie pies. You’ll also be able to fill your fridge with their staple lunch meats, scrapple, bacon, and new, healthier options such as “nitrate free” turkey lunch meat.

2020 marks 100 years of S. Clyde Weaver serving and supporting Lancaster County and surrounding areas. Today, a lot of the same recipes and smoking methods from the 1920’s are still being used—from hams being hand processed to cookies being rolled, cut, and hand-decorated—S. Clyde Weaver stays true to their 100-year heritage. Though their smoking methods have remained virtually unchanged for a century, their way of doing business hasn’t. Weavers is committed to bringing the best of Lancaster County and the region to your table. You can take advantage of their new, curbside pickup or find their online store where you can have products shipped anywhere in the country so you can send a taste of Lancaster County to your out of state loved ones. If you ask S. Clyde or Emma if they thought they'd see events such as we are living in today, they’d say, “No but, how can we help?” The third and fourth generation, family owned team at S. Clyde Weaver recognizes a need to respond to the current health issues so that they may better support the Lancaster community and beyond. “We have had the privilege of serving the community at our 2 stores and 8 market stand locations over these last 100 years. We will adapt and change, while continuing to offer good food and warm hospitality.” You can take advantage of their new, curbside pickup and a wide array of items available for delivery by visiting sclydeweaver.com.

European Monks who baked pretiola, or pretzel, for children as a reward for their reverence. To this day, Hammond’s holds true to the centuries-old standards of excellence with their high-quality ingredients and hand rolled products.

Living on the same street on the West End, William Lichty and his grandfather, William Hammond, started a pretzel business out of conjoined garages. The recipe used was based on Hammond’s recipe from his pretzel making days in the late 1800’s.

Heralding the title of oldest family operated, hand-made pretzel bakery in America, Hammond’s is running today under the 5th generation purview of William Hammond’s great-great grandchildren, Brian Nicklaus and Karen Achtermann.

SCORE VALUES SMALL BUSINESS MATTERS Small business is the engine of our national economy through business formation, job creation, and wealth building. Small businesses and their support are critical to vibrant communities in our society. GIVING BACK MATTERS We give volunteers, stakeholders, and sponsors the ability to give back to communities through their support of SCORE. Successful small business owners understand the importance of giving back to their communities. VOLUNTEERS MATTER SCORE is volunteer business people helping small business people solve business problems. Volunteers give freely of their time, energy, and knowledge to help others. SCORE volunteers donate over 1 million hours of their time each year to support their communities.

DIVERSITY MATTERS

We believe in the importance, value, and power of diversity —diversity of people and diversity of thought. The diversity of race, gender, ethnicity, geography, and experience is important and valuable in SCORE. We strive to achieve diversity of our volunteer corps, staff, board, and clients.

EXPERIENCE MATTERS A client’s experience matters—the truest measure of our mission and our service—we ensure that our clients have a positive experience. A volunteer’s experience matters—their relevant knowledge, wisdom, and experience serve our clients through mentorship and education. A volunteer’s experience with SCORE matters—we ensure that volunteers find value and satisfaction while engaged with SCORE. RELATIONSHIPS MATTER In relationships, we act with integrity, respect, honesty, purpose, and professionalism. We listen with an open mind, encourage, and openly communicate with all people seeking help from SCORE. Personal, long-term relationships are a driver of small business success. Community alliances are critical to the success of SCORE. LIFELONG LEARNING MATTERS We believe that small business owners who are lifetime learners adapt to change more readily and are more successful. Volunteers as lifelong learners remain relevant, achieve personal satisfaction, and growth.
