The Hershey Farm Restaurant and Inn in Ronks, PA has its roots in the 1970s. This family-owned business featuring authentic Pennsylvania Dutch food and hospitality in the heart of Amish country soon became a popular spot for tourists and locals.  This all came to a screeching halt when the restaurant and inn were destroyed by a massive fire in January of 2023.  A year and half later, the property reopened under the new name, the Hershey Farm Resort. Join us for a conversation with Deryl Stoltzfus, Partner/Owner of the Hershey Farm Resort as he walks us through the lessons he learned about leadership, business resiliency, partnering with others in the community, and the challenges and opportunities of balancing the historical brand with reimaging and starting over.
