MORE THAN TWO DECADES AGO,

we set out to build community by shining a cheerful light on the small businesses and impactful organizations in Lancaster City. We named our little book of positivity “Fig,” in honor of the small and mighty fruit known for being resilient, flavorful, and packing a nutritious punch. Historically, the seeds in a fig signify unity and prosperity, and even though they’re not always perfect, or even pretty, figs are sweet on the inside— just like a city.

Fig has grown over the years, and so has this city of creative entrepreneurs. We never tire of telling the stories of this place and the people who define it— all held together by a love of community and the commonalities that bring us together.

We titled this issue Common Ground because food is a universal language that will not only nourish us, but unite us. In the best of times, we build our days

and our celebrations around it. In difficult seasons, we come together to seek help or fill a gap for our neighbors when they need it most. (Turn to page 19, where we’ve partnered with Wegmans on a list of food pantries and donation sites in Lancaster City.)

As is tradition, the summer issue of Fig includes our annual Lancaster City Restaurant Guide—a comprehensive directory of the vibrant and international Lancaster City food scene. A sincere thank you to our fellow foodies who partnered with us to make it possible: the City of Lancaster, Discover Lancaster, and Willow Valley Communities.

This summer, we invite you to carve out space for a lingering meal with loved ones, new traditions with friends, and a renewed commitment to eating local. We hope that as you hold this issue in your hands, you’re taking a moment to slow down, enjoy the longer days of summer, and indulge in the endless bounty of Lancaster County.

Cheers to you!

Embracing change

WHEN MARCY HOSTETLER set out to pursue a second career after retiring as a choral music director, she didn’t necessarily have starting a business in mind. Serendipitously, however, a friend had recently introduced her to the concept of native gardening, and as a lifelong learner, Marcy was intrigued to know more.

She enrolled in Mt. Cuba’s Ecological Gardening Certificate program where she discovered joy in the complexity of finding the right plant for the right place—and that’s when the vision for her own business really began to take root. Founded in 2025, Colorgarden invites local residents, business owners, and municipalities to work with Marcy on planting native gardens—living yards and landscapes that attract birds, butterflies, and native bees.

“Planting a native garden counteracts imbalances that happen when new

plants are introduced to an area,” Marcy explained. “When a yard starts buzzing with insects, birds dig for food, and butterflies return, it feels like the ecosystem is waking up.”

Marcy and her growing team love getting their hands dirty and working closely with the land and with clients to create something beautiful.

With services from consultation and design to garden installation and stewardship, Colorgarden is poised to make a big impact in the community as they enter their second year.

“Nature doesn’t thrive in highly manicured spaces with exotic plants,” Marcy said. “We love the challenge of bringing clients’ dreams to life while listening to the earth.”

As for being a woman-owned business in Lancaster, Marcy embraces collaboration and a relationship-centered approach—starting internally with her all-female team.

“Empowerment is at our core,” she said. “I really enjoy encouraging each team member to follow their passion, share knowledge freely, and empower the community as a whole to join in this work.”

“Our team is especially excited about working with SoWe—a Southwest Lancaster nonprofit—to create a pollinator bed near Culliton Park,” Marcy shared. “We love projects that bring public spaces and ecology together while also giving the community a chance to learn more about what we are trying to do.”

They invite you to reach out for a consultation on introducing your own native garden.

RECENTLY CELEBRATING

the one-year anniversary of her own salon, Lauren is an entrepreneur who believes in choosing time for yourself.

“One of the biggest things I’ve learned over the last several years is how to stay grounded in who I am apart from the roles I carry,” she shared. “It’s important to not wait until I’m burnt out to take care of myself. Instead, I create space in to my life for the things that make me feel alive, not just productive.”

As a Navy veteran, mom of three, and mentor for up-and-coming hair stylists, she has worked hard to find that balance—and encourages other women to prioritize it too.

“Wellness is not about doing more. It’s about deciding you’re worth the time, the energy, and the investment,” she said. “And I think more women need to hear that it’s okay to take up space in your own life too.”

Lauren invites you to make some time for yourself at Keel Salon by scheduling an appointment for a fresh hair style, a reviving hair gloss, or one of her signature blowouts at keelsalon.com.

Fresh Face: GEM's Bodega & Cafe

EMILY GONZALEZ founded her catering company, GEM’s, in 2018 after years of making food for the people she loves and honing her craft in the kitchen.

Fast forward eight years, and GEM’s has become a Lancaster staple at events and pop-ups around the county. Emily has also used her business success to mentor and advocate for other women in the Lancaster community.

“It feels surreal to be where I am today,” she said. “I have really pushed myself out of my comfort zone to meet new people, make connections, and build a future for my family.”

The heart and namesake of GEM’s has always been Emily’s two kids, as she has worked hard to provide for them as a single mother.

When her son Michael gave her the idea to open a bodega where the community could gather and grab snacks, she put her mind to it and made it happen.

“I loved the idea of giving kids a corner store-type place to go in the neighborhood, but I also wanted to appeal to a broader range of people,” she explained. “People are always asking how they can enjoy my catering food in smaller portions, so that’s when I got the idea for the Bodega & Cafe.”

Tucked on the corner of East Ross and North Lime streets, GEM’s Bodega & Cafe stocks the cafe bar with some of Emily’s bestsellers, including fresh-baked pastries, hot and cold subs, and rotating prepared meals, that you can order alongside Lancaster County Coffee Roasters coffee and other drinks.

“A lot of our items are made from family recipes with flavors the community may not expect,” she said. “Things like our pumpkin and coconut flan are not your typical flavors, but they are what I grew up eating in Puerto Rico—and I love sharing them.”

The shelves and grab-and-go fridge are also stocked with household staples, fun snacks, and sweet treats—creating a true hub for the neighborhood built on GEM’s trusted culinary reputation.

The bodega is the next chapter in Emily’s growing entrepreneurial journey, as she is looking to expand her offerings to a new Lititz location coming later this year.

In the meantime, Emily invites you to stop by 155 East Ross Street to grab something you’ll love.

Fresh Face: Pizzeria 211

THE OPENING OF PIZZERIA 211’ S first standalone restaurant in Lancaster City is more than a move for more space. It’s the culmination of owner Matthew Shultz taking a risk on his dream.

Matthew is a Millersville native who spent the first two decades of his career in Philadelphia working in jewelry before turning his attention to pizza. Inspired by dynamic pizza shops opening in Philadelphia around the late 2010s, he started experimenting at home. He then joined a local Philly spot during 2020 to get more hands-on kitchen experience.

“I just completely immersed myself in pizza,” he reminisced. “I worked all the time with this crew of misfits who came from all walks of life because of the volatile job market during COVID.”

Shortly into 2021, a collection of perspective-shifting events drew Matthew and his wife back to Lancaster, giving him that push to pursue a second career where he could inspire happiness in those around him. Matthew soon got connected with the team working to reopen Southern Market as a business incubator and food hall.

“I remember reaching out to Steve Wood, who was leading the efforts to open their bar program, and asking, ‘Can I just make you a pizza?’” he shared.

It wasn’t long before Matthew was offered the front restaurant space for Pizzeria 211, named after the street address in Philly where he first started honing recipes for signature Detroitstyle pies.

Fast forward nearly four years, Pizzeria 211 has a faithful following among locals and is a destination spot for visitors from surrounding areas—a credit to Matthew’s determination to bring people quality food and make his family proud.

The new restaurant, which is taking over the former home of the Sugar Bowl, is designed to be a true neighborhood establishment. Matthew’s vision is to expand their menu, bringing back their much-requested cheesesteaks, as well as extend hours so you can bring friends and family on a night out to their new dining room area.

“Pizza is such a universal food—everyone loves it,” he said.

“My goal is to continue making really good food, create a place where anyone is welcome, and build a legacy I’m truly proud of.”

Fresh Face: Lancaster Pickle Company

JAMES AND BRITTNIE JONES are embracing all things pickles as the new owners of Lancaster Pickle Company. Established 10 years ago, Lancaster Pickle Company has made a name for itself offering clean, small-batch pickles, and James and Brittnie are excited to offer even more bold, flavor-packed varieties to choose from.

“We kept the original brine recipe that Lancaster Pickle is known for, along with all the original flavors,” Brittnie said. “We’ve added our own twist to those flavors, added new ones, and have other offerings like pickle slaw and pickle de gallo to the shop as well.”

While James is most excited about continuing to workshop new flavors, Brittnie is really proud to build a legacy for her daughters, including their oldest Morgan who is managing the retail shop.

Their family-owned and family-run business is an extension of something the Joneses have already built in Lancaster—local sandwich shop Savoy Truffle, which has been using Lancaster Pickle Company pickles for the past three years.

“We were already in love with the product through Savoy,” Brittnie shared. “So acquiring Lancaster Pickle earlier this year was just the right place and right time for us. It was a natural extension of our entrepreneurial journey.”

With local partnerships as a pillar of both businesses, both James and Brittnie are stocking more curated picklethemed products and local goods in their retail space, as well as partnering with more Lancaster restaurants to supply their pickles.

They are also working on expanding their shipping to more states while being a consistent presence for locals and visitors who come to the 300 Block of North Queen Street to shop. They invite you to stop by and taste the Lancaster Pickle difference for yourselves.

Their family of brands are rooted in community and bring Lancaster County memorable food and beverage experiences at Annie Bailey’s Irish Public House, The Conway Room, Per Diem, and through TFB Catering.

This special feature was sponsored by Palm Bay International in partnership with RNDC—a local alcohol distributor specializing in wine and spirits and stocking many of the bar shelves across Lancaster City. Join RNDC this summer as they partner with TFB Hospitality and Fig on events hosted at Annie Bailey’s and The Conway Room.

A curious gin for curious minds

INSPIRED BY ANCIENT IRISH

VAMPIRE TALES that are said to have inspired even Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Annie Bailey’s Celtic Vampire is a blood-red sour anchored by tart blood orange, floral hibiscus, and Irish Drumshanbo Pineapple Gin.

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is sourced from Palm Bay International and RNDC and produced by The Shed Distillery, which was founded by PJ Rigney. PJ is an explorer at heart and was drawn to the wild, untamed beauty of Leitrim, Ireland. When he founded the distillery in 2016, it was the first to be established in the region in more than 100 years—and is now home to a spirits revolution in this sleepy corner of Ireland.

JENNA MITCHELL BECKETT

Pennsylvania State Director and Agriculture Program Director at the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay

DREACH HIGH

A series brought to you by High Foundation that introduces you to nonprofit leaders who are thoughtfully innovating with a spirit of servant leadership. “

on’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

That is the quote by Howard Thurman hanging above Jenna Mitchell Beckett’s desk at the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay’s Pennsylvania office. As Jenna reflects on her journey to becoming the Pennsylvania State Director and Agriculture Program Director at the Alliance, the idea of coming alive in your work is certainly a thread she recognizes in her story.

A lifelong Lancastrian, Jenna remembers growing up playing with bugs and running around her grandmother’s garden. But when it came time to choose a major for college, she originally went to Washington DC for international relations. She quickly realized that wasn’t where her passions lived, and she transferred to Penn State’s Environmental Resource Management.

“The outdoors have always been a place of peace for me, and as soon as I started that program, I knew this was where I wanted to be,” Jenna said. “Then I got to intern with the Director of Agriculture, and I found the world of watersheds.”

After graduating, Jenna returned to Lancaster where she began working at the Lancaster County Conservation District as an erosion and sedimentation technician.

“I was kind of like a dirt cop—making sure soil disturbances were being managed properly at construction sites,” she explained. “I learned how the local level of regulation protects the environment, and as a young female in a male-majority field, it really helped foster my confidence.”

I had some incredible mentors who encouraged me to pursue these big ideas I had.”

Jenna knew after a few years there that she wanted to turn her attention to conservation instead of compliance, and she joined the Alliance as a project manager. Shortly after, at just 24 years old, the Pennsylvania Director left, and Jenna decided to put her hat in the ring.

Over the past decade in leadership, Jenna has led the charge on securing grant funding to start an agriculture program, fostered relationships between local farmers and large corporations, and moved the Pennsylvania headquarters from Camp Hill to Lancaster.

“It’s been special for me as a born and raised Lancastrian to see our team and our impact grow over the years,” she said. “Many of the ideas we implement across the Chesapeake Bay watershed start in Lancaster because our community and our landscape is so unique.”

As for her leadership style, Jenna embraces collaboration and clarity for her team—inspiring them to build programming around their individual passions so they too come alive in their everyday work.

Meeting a higher standard of accountability

DID YOU KNOW?

If the Lancaster WTE Facility had not started operating in 1991, the Frey Farm Landfill would have exhausted its waste acceptance capacity in 2001!

LESS LANDFILLING, more outdoor recreation

WASTE-TO-ENERGY (WTE)

TECHNOLOGY transforms how communities manage waste and protect outdoor spaces. By reducing waste volumes by 90%, WTE facilities extend the lifespan of landfills and conserve valuable land. Utilizing WTE requires less land for waste disposal and leaves more available for parks, trails, and natural areas—where people can enjoy outdoor activities, like walking their dogs. At LCSWMA, the team encourages our community to reduce waste, recycle right by putting the

correct items in the bin, and then throw the rest in the trash. Then, LCSWMA uses that trash to generate Tier II renewable energy and responsibly landfill what WTE cannot process. Across the United States, WTE saves about 255 acres of land each year—land that people can use for recreation rather than for waste storage. Thanks to WTE, families like yours can continue to enjoy clean, open spaces for years to come.

To learn about what WTE is doing for your community, visit ThinkAboutWTE.org.

Their team takes the time to understand each client and business, helping them plan with confidence and purpose. Reach out for a quote today.

Labor of love

EVERY WEEK DAY, volunteers from across the Lancaster community hop in their cars and gather at Meals on Wheels of Lancaster to pick up freshly prepared, nutritious food to deliver to the homes of neighbors experiencing food insecurity. This labor of love impacts nearly 1,000 individuals every year thanks to more than 500 volunteers, 9 staff members, and countless others whose donations ensure these meal deliveries and the relationships built through the program continue to thrive. They invite you to volunteer, donate, and experience the powerful role food plays in providing dignity and compassion to our neighbors at home.

Lancaster LEGACY

DAN SAHD is a third-generation business owner, whose commitment to both people and environment has empowered Sahd Metal Recycling to remain a leader in the local community.

Alongside his cousin and business partner Michael, Dan is inspired by the drive his grandfather and Lebanese immigrant Frank Sahd harnessed to establish the family business in 1941.

When Dan joined the team in 2005, it was a true homecoming—accentuated by the sense of place found in multigenerational family businesses.

“I had worked at the business since I was seven, spending summers in the yard as I grew up,” he shared. “As I drive up to work every day to the house

my dad grew up in, there’s an added responsibility to carry this on for the next generation,” he added. “It can be daunting, but I absolutely love it.”

Dan’s time in the corporate world gave him invaluable insights in structuring the company for long-term success. He also understands being nimble and prioritizing customer service are two things needed to set a small business apart, especially in Lancaster.

“To last 84 years in this community is a testament that we have served people and the environment well,” Dan said.

“Small business can really thrive here in Lancaster because we put a premium on quality of service and meaningful relationships.”

Today, Dan describes the business as a people development company that happens to recycle metal. The leadership team at Sahd supports the nearly two dozen employees by empowering them to invest in their own professional development by attending career events through the Chamber, the High Center, and other local opportunities.

“Michael and I really see ourselves as caretakers of a legacy,” Dan said.

“The real legacy isn’t the name on our building, but the people whose careers are being built here.”

BECCAFICO IS ROOTED in the culinary traditions of Southern Italy and the heritage of co-founder and Executive Chef Sara Elia. She invites you to join her in the warmth of a lingering meal and a shared table.

How do you want people to feel when they step into Beccafico? I want people to feel that sense of being welcomed in the way you would in Italy, where meals are about more than just the food. It’s about slowing down, connecting, and really being present with the people you’re with. There’s a comfort in the tradition of sharing dishes, pouring a glass of wine, lingering a little longer at the table. That first bite should feel simple and satisfying, but also like you’re part of something! At the end of the night, I want people to leave feeling full in every sense—not just from the food, but from the experience.

What do you think makes a simple pasta dish so special? You can’t hide behind anything! It’s just a few ingredients, so they all have to be right. But more than that, it’s the kind of food you crave without even realizing it. A bowl of spaghetti and pomodoro, a little olive oil, maybe a glass of wine (or two)—it just feels good. It’s comforting, it’s nostalgic, and somehow it always hits exactly how you want it to.

What does community mean to you?

For me, it always comes back to the table. That’s where everything happens; catching up, celebrating, even just unwinding after a long day. I want Beccafico to feel like that kind of place where you can come with anyone (your friends, your family, a date) and just feel taken care of. It’s less about the occasion and more about the feeling you leave with.

A legacy of innovation

With a history spanning more than 165 years, Armstrong World Industries is rooted in excellence and innovation. Inspired by founder Thomas Armstrong, AWI continues to keep a customer-centric approach, where trust and quality remain at the core of what they promise.

As AWI looks to the future, they are excited to welcome new CEO Mark Hershey as they continue to positively impact the spaces where people live, work, learn, heal, and play.

Get to know Mark Hershey

How does it feel to step into the role of CEO? It’s both an incredible honor and a significant responsibility. Armstrong has built a remarkable legacy, and I have a deep appreciation for the leaders who shaped the company into what it is today. At the same time, I’m energized by the opportunities ahead of us. We have strong momentum, a talented team, and a clear strategy for growth—and I’m excited to help lead Armstrong into its next chapter.

What does your work at Armstrong mean to you?

What makes Armstrong special is the people. I’m incredibly proud to work alongside employees who care deeply about what they do and consistently bring passion, expertise, and commitment to our business. There’s a real sense of purpose in knowing what we do helps create better environments for people every day.

How would you describe your leadership style?

My leadership is built on being collaborative, transparent, and focused on creating long-term value. I believe the best outcomes happen when you bring together talented people, empower them to do their best work, and stay aligned around a clear strategy.

What part of Armstrong’s legacy makes you most proud? What stands out most to me is Armstrong’s ability to evolve while staying grounded in the values that built this company.

One phrase that has always resonated with me is our founder’s principle: “Let the Buyer Have Faith.” That idea has endured because it speaks to something timeless. It reflects how we’ve built lasting relationships with our customers and partners over generations.

I’m proud that Armstrong has continued to adapt to changing markets and customer needs while staying true to that foundation. That combination of resilience, innovation and trust is what makes our legacy so meaningful—and it’s what will continue to guide our future.

What innovations do you hope to see for Armstrong’s future? I’m excited about the significant opportunity we have around energy efficiency and developing innovative solutions that help our customers reduce energy use while creating healthier, higher-performing, and more resource-conscious spaces.

We’re also continuing to expand our Architectural Specialties portfolio, to invest in digital capabilities, and to deliver tools that help our customers work more efficiently. At the end of the day, innovation is about staying ahead of what our customers need and ensuring Armstrong continues to lead the industry.
