Lancaster County Business History – Turkey Hill

 

More than 75 years ago, in Lancaster County, Armor Frey started a business with his touring sedan. It was the Great Depression, and every penny helped….slowly, Armor’s milk route grew. Until one day his “extra milk” business became his only business. The business developed. In 80’s, the Freys took a big step into ice cream production. Turkey Hill Ice Cream quickly became a favorite in local Lancaster County stores. …The ice cream was always good, but priced so everyone could enjoy it…..Little by little, this tiny dairy became a favorite in some of the country’s biggest markets.

 

Today, people all over the country enjoy the products that are “Imported from Lancaster County”. And more than just ice cream and frozen yogurt. Turkey Hill’s product lines include Iced Tea, Ice Cream Sandwiches, and Sundae Cones. It all began with one man launching a local route for his milk. Today, more than 25,000,000 gallons of ice cream per year; and product distribution in more than 45 states.
