291: The Century Farm of Ploughman Cider

Who is Ploughman Cider

Ploughman Cider is based in Wenksville Pennsylvania on a family farm owned by the Wenks Family for the past 100 years. The farm is called Three Springs and it is exactly 1.5 miles from the ancestral farm that started back in 1818 when the first Wenk arrived from Switzerland.

The farm itself is managed by David Wenk who begins the episode with telling the back story of how the family came to Adams County.
