The Dietrichs have been a family tradition at Renninger’s Farmer’s Market for over 50 years. Starting with a small table, Verna Dietrich sold farm fresh eggs, fresh vegetables from her garden, and color printed feed bags which people bought to make aprons, dresses, and pillowcases. Her three boys, aged 10 months to 4 years accompanied her and helped tend to the stand every Saturday. Later, the business grew with the addition of a small meat case from which the Dietrichs sold fresh meat and homemade bolognas. Several years later, a new addition was added to the farmers market and the Dietrichs expanded to a larger stand with meat cases stretching forty feet. Shortly after, the Dietrich family built a brand new USDA federal butcher shop in Krumsville, PA. It is here where their own home-raised animals are slaughtered and then aged in coolers until they are ready to be cut. Today Verna is proud to have three sons, two daughters-in-law, and eight grandchildren who are active in the business.
