    Stoltzfus Farm Restaurant: Homemade Ham Loaf

    Published: Jan 20, 2017 · Updated: Jan 20, 2017 by Kevin Williams | 1 Comment

    Stoltzfus Farm Restaurant was a family-style fixture in Intercourse, PA, but it is no more....

    By Kevin Williams

    Anyone remember this gem from Intercourse, Pennsylvania? SIGH, why is it that all the restaurants that I used to like there have closed?  Stoltzfus is no more.  And the Family Cupboard which I ate my way through like the family cupboard is also no more.  But the food legacy lives on and I wanted to share a recipe with you.

    It was actually passed along to me by a reader years ago but I never posted it.  The reader said: "I have enjoyed this twice at Stoltzfus’ in Intercourse, PA. The first time I ate there I asked for the recipe telling them I am from the Deep South and not in the restaurant business since I knew restaurants don’t like to give out their recipes. The young lady reached under the counter and handed me a copy saying they got so many requests that they made copies for all the folks that asked. I have made it many, many times and served it to many, many of our dinner guests. It is by far and away the biggest culinary hit I have ever scored except perhaps for my mother’s lasagna recipe. I would say bon appétit in Amish but I don’t know how."

    So, thank you WM, for sharing this bit of culinary legacy with us.  Enjoy!

    1 pound ground cured ham

      I love a good ham loaf. I make my own in a very similar fashion and I based my recipe on one I learned in 1961 in home ec. cooking class. I add crushed corn flakes as a bit of a filler and a dash of ground cloves.
