Lancaster County’s factory tours let you get a behind the scenes look at working farms, dairies, and food producers. Most offer free samples of whatever you just watched be created.
Watch cheese being made at September Farm Cheese Factory. Then try over 30 varieties of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Make your own soft pretzel twist at Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery, or create your own ice cream flavor in the Taste Lab at Turkey Hill Experience. For real dairy farming, Kreider Farms has a 90 minute tour celebrating 90 years as a fourth generation family business.
Not every tour is based on food. George’s Furniture lets you watch handcrafted solid wood furniture being built the old fashioned way, and Strasburg Rail Road offers a look at its mechanical repair shop.
