    About The Company

    When Pat and Bob Burnley invited their neighbors and friends to celebrate food and family fun in their backyard in 1954, they began a tradition of serving up memorable experiences for all to share. Three generations and 70 years later, that tradition of hospitality and spreading happiness holds true; only now the backyard is a growing village of unique shops, eateries, a working canning kitchen, and lodging rooms nestled next to rolling Lancaster farmlands.

    Opportunity Overview
