Welcome to Fig

Celebrating small business

Since 2005, Fig has been telling the story of Lancaster City as it has grown and changed. As a champion of small businesses, we are a consistent, positive voice in our community, encouraging those doing great work through our powerful combination of print, digital, and social media. Behind Fig is a small and mighty team of designers, marketers, photographers, writers, and developers who fiercely love where we live and have a simple mission to use our talents to spread the word about the place we call home. Meet our team.

Why “Fig”?

What do you call a movement? A belief? A mission? 

We chose “Fig” because of the many things it represents. An ancient fruit that has been cultivated for centuries, figs are sweet, nourishing, and full of seeds that come together to create something delicious. The fig fruit has even been known to signify unity, fruitfulness, and prosperity.

As we respect the history of the fruit, we also honor the traditions and history of each of the communities Fig represents. We believe the abundance of a fig’s seeds and the care that goes into its growth are representative of both our Fig Industries team and the communities we represent through Fig magazine.

Over the past decade, we’ve learned that small is special…just like a fig. And as the fig fruit has become more popular and our own Fig brand has grown, we have witnessed the importance of what matters most—our history, our community, and supporting each other locally.
