Fig Origin Story: Kitchen Kettle Village

Kitchen Kettle was established in 1954.

Planting the Seed

A fourth-generation family business in Lancaster County, Kitchen Kettle Village started more than 70 years ago with Bob and Pat Burnley, who began their humble jelly business in the garage of their house. 

Rooted in Lancaster

The Burnleys continued expanding their business, crafting new recipes of Lancaster County staples, allowing the community to watch as they worked, and inviting neighbors to open shops alongside them. As new generations joined in, the Village has grown to include 35+ unique shops, restaurants, and lodging. 

Tending New Growth

For 71 years, Kitchen Kettle has prioritized relationships, and as they look towards the future, creating exceptional experiences and lasting memories remains at the core of who they are
