 | | M. Crooker, Co-op Member | This is a neat little place to visit. Be sure to check their website for tour times before you go, otherwise it is just a store. The tour consists of going in the back and seeing the factory (it is a small factory about the size of a really large kitchen, but it is still neat.)
The tour guide explains the processes of making the pretzels, explains why soft pretzels don't stay soft and why you have to cook hard pretzels twice.
The culmination of the tour is when you get to play with some pretzel dough and practice pretzel twisting.
The tour is free, but you will want to bring a little money with you if want to purchase a snack.
While in town, be sure to check out the Intercourse Canning Company and the Old Barn Candles.
FYI : There are many Amish working in these places so photos are not allowed of the factories or the workers. |
