Sweet bologna is one of those Central Pennsylvania traditions that locals grow up on and never stop craving. Twin Pine Farm's version is the one worth seeking out. Robert Ilyes Sr. perfected this honey-sweetened bologna recipe in the early 1960s on the family's 2,100-acre farm in York County. The recipe has barely changed since. Real honey gives it a distinctive sweetness that balances beautifully against a rich, smoky finish, with a moist, tender texture that sets it apart from anything you'll find at a grocery store counter. The herd is raised right on the farm on hormone-free, non-GMO feed, and butchered on site in a USDA-inspected shop for freshness you can taste.
At Lancaster Gift Box, we drive directly to Twin Pine Farm to pick up every order. We love it sliced thin on a snack board alongside a sharp September Farm cheddar, Dynamite Dill pickles, a good mustard, and Rocky Road Pretzels for a spread that is about as Central Pennsylvania as it gets.
York, PA
Twin Pine Farm is a 2,100-acre working farm in York County, Pennsylvania. Robert Ilyes Sr. began crafting homemade bologna, hot dogs, and smoked sausages in his farmhouse basement in the early 1950s. By the early 1960s, he had perfected his honey sweet bologna recipe. It has been a Central Pennsylvania staple ever since. Today, the farm raises its own beef, pork, and chicken on hormone-free, non-GMO feed grown on site. They butcher everything in their own USDA-inspected shop.
