| The History of Haines Pork Shop |
In the late 1800’s, Rachael Haines, a
widow, started processing neighbor’s
hogs for additional income. Her family
recipe for sausage and scrapple is used
to this day. Her son, Jeremiah,
transported pork products to South
Philadelphia. T. Edgar, Jeremiah’s son,
continued the tradition of custom
processing hogs for area residents. In
the early 60’s, T. Edgar’s son, J. Ellison
turned the business into a retail
establishment during the winter
months. His son, Jerry, joined the
business in the mid 70’s and the
business was open year round. Today
Jerry’s daughter, Meg, and son-in-law,
Harry Sheldon, continue the tradition.
