Hayloft Ice Cream

The Allegany Boys Camp Board had been praying about the possibility of having an ice cream or thrift store as a means of support for their boy’s camp. The camp for troubled boys is located in western Maryland. In 2017, when the Yoder family decided to close Hayloft Candles, they offered to lease the building to the camp to start an ice cream shop. The new business was named Hayloft Ice Cream and all the staff, other than the managers, are volunteers. Some volunteers come from other states and serve as volunteers for a year. The restaurant is non-profit and all of their proceeds go to the camp. Every purchase made at Hayloft Ice Cream will help make a difference in a camper’s life.

Hayloft Ice Cream serves soft pretzels, ice cream, as well as sandwiches, soups and salads. Soft serve ice cream flavors can range from vanilla, chocolate, and twist plus a different feature flavor every month. Please call prior to visiting as the flavors offered do vary. If you are looking for a sundae, they have nine different kinds to choose from. Other delicious treats include “Barn Blasters”, gelatis, floats, Italian ice and cold brew shakes. The soft pretzels are homemade and available as regular pretzel sticks, in garlic parmesan, sour cream and onion, and cinnamon sugar.

A unique item to Hayloft Ice Cream is a pretzel log sandwich. The center of a pretzel log is filled with cheesesteak or chicken ranch or one of the featured flavors of the month.

Please go to their Facebook page and “like” it to stay up to date with their monthly specials. They are also looking to add more items, like fries and burgers and chicken sandwiches, to their menu this year.

Indoor and outdoor seating both are available. They have a beautiful pond where you can sit and enjoy a treat or feed the fish and ducks. A newly built playground welcomes kids to come play.

Martindale Mattress

In a world of huge big-box stores and mega corporations, shopping for a mattress today can be a daunting task. With such impersonal choices as shopping online, or submitting to existing as a faceless, nameless number at a mass-produced warehouse, where does one turn to in order to receive a personal touch while purchasing a high quality mattress? This is a question that Sheldon Martin, owner of Martindale Mattress, asked himself while he was working at a local building supply business.

While learning his craft at this business, Martin was presented with an opportunity to sell high quality mattresses at a fraction of the price of the larger, more imposing opposition. After speaking with family, friends and neighbors, Martin realized that there was indeed a potential market for a mattress supplier with a personal touch.

So in 2019, with this information in hand, Sheldon Martin and his wife Lucille decided to open Martindale Mattress. Martin is quick to point out the differences in his business and the larger corporate entities, including the fact that he sells the same high-quality mattresses larger companies offer at greatly discounted prices. These mattresses are factory blems with little or no defects, which is why they are offered at such discounted prices. Martin also offers a local delivery service for a small fee. Martin states that the majority of his clients learned about his business through word of mouth and through local advertising, and that they prefer his small-town individualized touch rather than the impersonal approach of the larger retail stores. Martin gets a great sense of satisfaction from helping keep the cost of living down for his clients by offering quality mattresses at affordable prices. Martin also wants to get the word out that he has expanded his business, and now sells furniture such as office chairs, three-piece couches, love-seats and recliner sets and more.

You can visit Martindale Mattress at 114 Hurst Road, Ephrata, PA 17522. Their hours are Mon., Tues., Thurs., and Fri. 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sat., 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or Wednesdays by appointment. They are closed on Sundays. You can reach them at 717-445-9153.

Beginning in Lancaster County in 1932, the story of John F. Martin & Sons is one of hardship and perseverance of faith. The company’s namesake, John F. Martin, was a local farmer working to support his young family through the Great Depression. What John realized was that he could bring his family through the challenges of the time by selling fresh produce and farm-raised poultry at Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. Unwavering in his commitment to family and community, John traveled to and from Reading Terminal Market every week for 21 years until 1961, when he decided to open a butcher shop on his family farm and sell meat at local markets. Along with his five sons, John would go on to establish John F. Martin & Sons, selling high-quality, farm-raised meat products to communities throughout Pennsylvania.

Today, John F. Martin & Sons continues to follow its long-standing tradition of bringing high-quality products to its customers while steadfastly committing to family values, community, and excellent customer service.

Other services offered by S&A Paint and Repair include detailing, paintless dent repair and painting.

All Metal Roofing Specialists

“We’re not the biggest, just the best.” This has always been the motto of All Metal Roofing Specialists, LLC since it was founded. A spin-off of ACR Metal Roofing Distributors, All Metal was started in response to a struggling economy where there were a lot of good workers that needed jobs. Roofs still needed to be replaced and metal was, and is, a great option. Family-owned and operated, we at All Metal believe every home can benefit from a metal roof. Metal roofing is environmentally friendly with at least 25% post-consumer recycled material, and metal can be installed over old shingles, saving landfill space. A metal roof also acts as a radiant heat barrier, which will reduce your attic temperature in the summer by 20 to 30 degrees to offer increased energy efficiency and reduced cooling costs. We install only the best metal roofing, and our years of experience will help in choosing the right product that is durable and attractive for your home.

As you go through the process of selecting a contractor, it can be difficult to know who you should trust with your home. We’ve worked in the home improvement industry for over 25 years, and we’ve heard our customers say many times that choosing a reputable contractor is the most daunting task. Visit our website at www.allmetalroofs.com. We want to make sure that our clients feel that they have made the right decision in choosing our company. We will take the time to fully understand your roofing needs and answer all your questions. After a comprehensive analysis, we will recommend a solution based on your preferences, your needs, and your budget. We will work hard to save you both time and money. You will never spend any money that is not necessary, only what is required to do the job right. We would love to work with you to craft a high-quality, custom roof that’s perfect for your home.

RABER’S TIRE

According to John Raber, running a small business that is family owned and operated is the only way to go. When Raber’s Tire opened their doors in 2008, John and his son Jarren worked together to do whatever it took to bring customers satisfaction. Their dedication to this principle caused the business to grow in leaps and bounds, bringing John and Jarren to the point where they couldn’t keep up anymore. John decided to hire his nephew, Jeff Mast. With the help of another family member, Raber’s Tire is ready to help and satisfy even more customers, without having to sacrifice their desire to remain family owned and operated. John started his career at the age of 21 in a family owned and operated retail tire shop. The business was owned by John’s brother-in-law. “It’s been a blessing to work with family members,” comments John. For three years, John continued to work with his brother-in-law as a shop foreman. In 1997, John opened his own tire shop in Cambridge, Ohio. Under the clear leading of God, John and his family moved to Ephrata in 2008. Raber’s Tire opened in the spring of the same year.

Upon opening, John wanted to reflect his family’s desire to honor and glorify God in everything they did, including changing tires. This desire hasn’t changed as they still seek to serve Him, as they serve you. They thank and glorify God for prospering His business abundantly. John characterizes the tire business as hard work, but also very satisfying and enjoyable. He always looks forward to the next day at work.

“Big and small, we do them all” describes the tire inventory available to customers. Passenger, light truck, farm, lawn and semi-tires are available for purchase. Raber’s features Yokohama brand tires. Yokohama offers a full range of styles and sizes and with factory direct ordering Raber’s is able to offer this great brand of tires at amazing prices.
