History

Established in 1954.

Leon and Anna Achenbach aspired to starting their own bakery business. Anna was the daughter of John Bender whose bakery in Berks County was established during the depression years. When John retired, Anna’s brother continued management of Bender’s bakery, while Leon and Anna came to the Leola area.

In the early 70’s Leon and Anna turned the bakery over to a daughter and son-​in-​law. Under George Ebersole’s leadership the business thrived and grew to the point of having a number of remote retail outlets and wholesale customers.

In mid 1998, George retired from his owner/​manager role and returned to his first love of baking for Achenbachs. Earl and Anita Hess assumed ownership and leadership responsibility.

Earl Hess has since passed which led to the business being purchased by the current leadership team. Ownership of the business was transferred June 1, 2002 to J. David Burkholder — Pres., Sharon Redcay — Exec. VP, Andrew Orrs — VP of Production and Daniel Peters — VP of Facility.
