The Sweet and Salty Trail has something for people of all ages, from toddlers to high school students to retirees. The Trail is especially great for Lancaster County residents. It draws you out of your neighborhood bubble and gets you into areas of Lancaster County that you have yet to discover.

It's also great for people who have recently moved here, to introduce you to the amazing foodie scene in Lancaster.

Fall is the perfect time for the Sweet and Salty Trail. As kids get back into the swing of school, a sweet treat at the end of the day can make that transition just a little bit easier.

And, football season is back, so this is the perfect opportunity to switch up your typical tailgate food with something locally made and delicious.
