For 60 years, The Plain & Fancy Country Store has been a beloved stop for visitors seeking authentic Lancaster County treasures. Since opening its doors in 1965, the store has offered guests a warm welcome and a charming selection of locally made goods, jams, jellies, and keepsakes that capture the heart of Amish Country.
Now, as part of a grand 60th anniversary celebration, the iconic shop is embracing an exciting new chapter—with a fresh new name, updated look, and expanded product selection. Introducing The Barn & Hearth Shop, a reimagined shopping experience that honors its rich past while evolving to meet the needs of today’s guests.
Grand Opening Celebration for The Barn & Hearth Shop
To mark this milestone, The Barn & Hearth Shop will host its Grand Opening Celebration on Tuesday, April 29, from 4:30 to 6:00 PM, featuring a Ribbon Cutting with the Lancaster Chamber. The event is free and open to the public. Guests will enjoy:
- Exclusive coupons for attendees
- Chance to win a specially curated gift basket valued around $100
- Free samples of whoopie pies and cookies from Miller’s Bakery
- Tastings of Miller’s jams and Olio olive oils
- Special gift for the first 50 guests
The Barn & Hearth Shop’s new look combines rustic elegance with a welcoming vibe, showcasing thoughtfully selected gifts, locally made foods, home accents, kitchen items, boutique accessories and clothing, and handcrafted goods—many made right here in Lancaster County. While the product lines have grown, guests will still find the Lancaster County favorites they’ve come to love—Miller’s Bakery treats, nostalgic sweets and candies, signature jams and dressings, olive oils from Olio Olive Oils & Balsamics. Later this summer, the store will also introduce an expanded selection of grab-and-go food items.
It’s a must-visit stop for both locals and visitors looking for that perfect piece of Lancaster to take home.
“We’re so proud of the legacy behind this shop and excited for where it’s headed,” said Pam Cosgrove, Store Manager. “The Barn & Hearth Shop is a place where past and present meet. It’s filled with character, warmth, and the quality Lancaster is known for.”
With a renewed focus on home and lifestyle, The Barn & Hearth Shop offers something for everyone—whether you’re looking for a handcrafted keepsake, a cozy piece for your home, or the perfect gift to take with you.
