Jacob Mast Homestead Becomes 400th Farm Preserved In ...

I?ve got awesome news to report?Lancaster Farmland Trust announced at its annual banquet, on October 24th, that the Jacob Mast Homestead became the 400th farm to be preserved in Lancaster County by The Trust!? This is the farm that Isaac?s raised over $16,000 for, with our ?Save A Farm!? campaign in August.? For every cup or bowl of Fresh-Cut Corn Chowder sold during that month, we donated $1 to The Trust to go towards preserving the 103-acre farm in eastern Lancaster County.

It was great to see Wayne and Frieda Reiter, owners of the farm, at the banquet.? I had the privilege of visiting them on their beautiful farm back in the summer with my boss, Phil Wenger, and the two Karens (as I like to call them), Karen Dickerson and Karen Martynick, from The Trust, for an interview with Anne Shannon from WGAL.? The history, the landscape?everything about their farm impressed me, including the Reiter?s vision of getting it preserved.

Another highlight of the banquet was the presentation of the ?Corporate Sponsor Of The Year? Award to Isaac?s Famous Grilled Sandwiches.? Phil accepted the award on behalf of the Company and, during his acceptance speech, urged the audience to talk to any restaurant owners they know about holding a campaign similar to the one Isaac?s held in August, to raise even more money to go towards farmland preservation.? This would definitely help The Trust in reaching their goal of preserving 100,000 acres in 2013!

Johnny Roberts, Marketing Coordinator for Isaac's, has been with the company for over 11 years, with most of that time spent in Marketing. He has worked in the restaurant industry since he was 16 and worked 8 years in a business-to-business advertising agency before coming to Isaac's...actually starting off at the Granite Run location as a tron before coming into Central Office to be in Marketing.
