You’re right!! Well…some of you were…our most popular hoagie is the basic Ham and Cheese, followed by our regular Italian. Now since today is National Cheese Day, what’s your favorite cheese to have on your sub? Our default is Provolone, so if you don’t specify, that’s what will be included on your hoagie, but…..you may pick any cheese from our deli to customize your hoagie any way you’d like it! Popular customizations are: White American, Swiss, Hot Pepper Cheese, and Cooper. What’s YOUR favorite?

We have fresh berries that just arrived!! While supplies last….

Now, if you’re waiting for berries to drop to record lows so you can stock the freezer at a great price, this may not be the year. 😕. But why?

The short answer? Weather (you thought we were going to say gas prices, right?? 😉)

The complete answer? We only sell local strawberries. We never order them in from “other states”. Sadly most of the mid-Atlantic region, including PA, received a hard frost in May, right at the beginning of Pennsylvania Strawberry Season (yes, it should be capitalized because if you’re from central PA….you know it’s an official season!) when all the strawberry plants were just blossoming. The frost killed all the blossoms, and if you remember your biology class from high school, you’ll know that to get a fruit, you must first have a blossom. No blossom = No fruit. 😭 That one single Sunday night effectively wiped out half the strawberry harvest for 2026 (it also wiped out most of the peaches, pears, plums and apples, but we’ll save that happy post for August when you want to know why our peach prices are so high.) And while you’re reminiscing and trying to remember what your Biology teacher’s name actually was, walk down the hall to your consumer Math class and recall your Supply vs. Demand lessons….too few Strawberries=higher prices. Some farmers crops are already over! 😭

Now, as to why our prices keep fluctuating….We purchase our strawberries straight from the Juniata County Amish because when we say local, we mean just down the road, but we bid against other local stores and farm stands and there are just not enough to go around. We could make it much easier on ourselves and just set a price high enough to cover our higher bids, but we want to be able to pass along the savings to you when we manage to get a lower bid. Thus…our price will go up and down and we’ll try to keep it as low as possible. There were actually times in the past couple of weeks where we were literally selling our berries for exactly what we paid for them, because we just couldn’t justify charging you $10/qt. So did we make any profit on those berries? Nope. But…you’re worth it. 😉

The History and Popularity of Cooper Sharp Cheese: A Pennsylvania Favorite

Cooper Sharp Cheese, a beloved staple in Pennsylvania kitchens and delis, has a rich heritage dating back to the early 20th century. Originally crafted in the 1910s by the Cooper family, this American processed cheese was developed with a unique goal in mind: to create a sharp, creamy, and melty cheese that stood out from the bland processed cheeses of the time. From its humble beginnings in Pennsylvania, Cooper Sharp quickly earned a reputation for bold flavor, high quality, and unmatched meltability—qualities that have helped it remain a local favorite for over a century.

Today, Cooper Sharp Cheese is especially popular in Philadelphia and throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. It’s a must-have for hoagies, cheesesteaks, grilled cheese sandwiches, and breakfast sandwiches. Many food lovers and chefs swear by it, citing its rich, tangy flavor and smooth, creamy texture that melts perfectly without becoming greasy or stringy. Whether sliced for cold cuts or melted onto hot food, Cooper Sharp offers an indulgent cheese experience that balances sharpness with velvety goodness.

Known for its quality and consistent taste, Cooper Sharp continues to be produced with premium ingredients and care, maintaining the legacy of craftsmanship that made it a household name in Pennsylvania. Its rise in popularity has even reached national attention, with fans across the U.S. seeking out this iconic Pennsylvania cheese for its superior flavor and nostalgic hometown roots. For anyone serious about cheese, especially in PA, Cooper Sharp isn’t just a choice—it’s a tradition.

🥖 Thanks to all who guessed how many hoagies we will sell in the month of June! We saw guesses ranging from 125 hoagies all the way up to 4,557!! Clearly we’re well on our way to passing the first guess, but can we make it the whole way up to the high bar?? (There were also quite a few guesses of 1,776. Apparently that number has some kind of significance… 🤷‍♀️😉) We’ve even included our employees and management in the guessing fun, although management agrees to just play for fun and employees will have their own, separate prize. Stay tuned and we’ll update you each day!
