kreider farm's farm tour

The Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery is the first commercial
pretzel bakery in America. Founded in 1861, this historic
location is still maintained today by the Sturgis family.
Located in beautiful Lititz, Pennsylvania, our tour provides
a fun and insightful look at the birth of pretzel baking
in the region.

Take the Kreider Farm's Farm Tour and see how oldfashioned dedication to quality milk products harnessed
with state-of-the-art technology produces an unbeatable
team. We are a local family-owned, sustainable, awardwinning dairy farm. Kreider Farms was named to the
American Bus Association's Destinations Magazine's
" 2018 Best of the Best " listing for their signature Farm
Tour. Our Micro-Mooery is an amazing operation to see.
Our 90-minute guided dairy farm tour offers a high-tech
view of farming including a drive down the middle of our
maternity barn, and a drive past our loafing barn known
as the " Cow Palace. " The Kreider Farms Silo Observation
Tower offers guests a climb to the top of the Silo for a

County farmland surrounding Kreider Farms.
