Locally Made Food Shop focuses on items made here in Lancaster County, including Miller’s Bakery. You’ll find jams, jellies, spice mixes, tea, coffee and of course baked goods like shoofly pie and chocolate pecan pie. Additionally, there are Lancaster County made kitchen items including wooden cutting boards, Lancaster Cast Iron pans, and more. At Anna’s Gifts and Sundries, you’ll find great locally made jewelry and accessories.
