✈ Keeping Kosher in Lancaster, PA [Amish Country] & at Franklin & Marshall College
Contributed by Dani Klein | Last Date of Travel: July 2010
Kosher Info: Last summer, another couple joined me and my wife for a few days in Amish Country, PA (specifically staying in the city of Lancaster) over the July 4th holiday weekend. In our research, we found that Kosher food would be available, but not at a restaurant. The only eatery we learned of was on (or right off of) the campus of Franklin & Marshall College, in the Ben Franklin Dining Hall, with a Star-K hechsher (although if you keep reading you’ll see that we were wrong). The dining hall obviously is only open when students are on campus, so even if students were on campus for the summer break, July 4th break was not a good time to find it open. (We also don’t think the kosher section is open over the summer, despite summer sessions). When school is in session, they also offer Shabbat meals. Regardless, I recommend calling ahead 717-291-3993.
Ben Franklin Dining Hall

Lancaster, PA 17603
Having said that, the large local supermarket chain Weis, carry lots of everyday kosher products… we even found a small section of frozen kosher meat – good for BBQing.
