Today's Flashback Friday story comes from member, Shady Maple Smorgasbord. Let's look back...

What began in 1970 as a small produce stand under 2 maple trees, has developed into Shady Maple Farm Market, Smorgasbord, & Gift Shop on 30 acres of land in East Earl, PA.

Over 30 years time, the roadside stand expanded into a sprawling 110,000 sq.ft full-service grocery store and cafeteria. The eatery soon grew into the iconic 2000 seat Shady Maple Smorgasbord, Banquet Center & Gift Shop in its own building with 2 levels for dining and shopping, to the delight of 1.5 million guests each year!
