I guess you can say I “fell into a foodservice career”. My ambitions and dreams were in math and science.

Geoff Cordell takes over Pepper Lane Fudge and Sweets in preparation for the retirement of his mom, Deb Sensenig. I am sure that you are familiar with the saying “it’s like being a kid in a candy store”. Well that is exactly what life was like for me as a young boy. My family moved…
Locally produced wool that is exclusive Lancaster Yarn Shop Lancaster County has some of the richest, non-irrigated soil in the United States, but sheep, it turns out, don’t like a grassy pasture. The land here is too valuable for food production, and so we don’t really have a sheep or wool tradition. However, like much…
Mud Sales have been a popular past-time in Lancaster County since the mid 60’s. Many Lancaster County towns have volunteer fire companies which host the sales.

So the million dollar question is: do people still use clothespins? Used to be that laundry was hung outside. It was more economical than running the dryer, saved time (you could wash load after load without having to wait for the previous load to dry in the dryer), and made clothes – especially sheets and…
