Vendor Introduction!
Letโs welcome the Hinkle Homestead to Creekside! They will be bringing a variety of freeze dried items to our store.
Creekside has been carrying several freeze dried goodies since the small beginnings of our farmstand. However, due to the double blessing of family growth and farmstand growth we have not been able to keep up with the freeze dried demand. We are excited to have a small family freeze drying operation ready to offer their products.
A soon to be father, Justin wanted a way to support his family while being present as his family grew. He and Bethany have a strong passion for good local food and they realized freeze drying was a great way to put good foods into the hands of individuals from all stages and walks of life.
The Hinkleโs have demonstrated their dedication to good food by sourcing from only local growers (with the exception of items like kiwi and passion fruit that donโt grow here). Their growers, like Spiral Path Farm, Three Springs Fruit Farm, and their own gardens, are focused on sustainable and little to no pesticide use.
They will give up profits in order to maintain their commitment to only local fresh foods which they proved this year as they have chosen not to purchase peaches from further away after a poor PA peach harvest. Freeze dried fans know that is a big deal since peaches are one of the favorite freeze dried fruits!
Recently, because of repeated requests, Justin started carrying a limited amount of candy as well. Though he hopes it will just be a gateway into the wonderful world of healthier freeze dried snacks.
Get yours today at Creekside Store, 98 Sulphur Springs Road, Duncannon. Open daily 6am to 10pm.
