Do you buy products made locally? Is there anything made in your area that you love?
There are a few things that are locally made that I will buy:
Iced Teas: Zimmerman's Dairy here in Lehighton, PA or Turkey Hill from Lancaster PA.
Sodas: A-Treat beverages headquartered in Allentown, PA.
Ice Cream: Turkey Hill from Lancaster, PA.
There are others, these are just a few off the top of my head. There is one brand that no longer is produced that I miss, although my heart is praising every supernatural being in non-existence for the fact. Golden Sun Potato Chips. These were the most incredible potato chips that were made in small batches by a family in Slatington, PA. While I say small batches, I mean compared to Lays, Herrs, etc. They were available in stores throughout the Lehigh Vally, at least. I've never found a replacement for these. When I heard the families children were not going to continue the business when their parents retired I was shocked. I bought every box and bag I could get my hands on, but that wasn't much because many other people were doing the same.
