TASTES OF LANCASTER When it comes to great signature foods, Lancaster County has plenty! In our summer issue, we featured just a few of the tastes we've come to... crave. ... DUTCH GOLD HONEY: The cultural significance and symbolism of this liquid gold spans across centuries and hemispheres, from the beekeeping laws of Hellenistic Athens to the honey-filled clay vessels discovered in Egyptian tombs. Today, however, the single most universally recognizable totem of honey is far more simple: the squeezable honey bear bottle. What many don’t know is that this classic packaging design came right from the dinner table of the Gambers, Lancaster locals and one of the county’s most successful entrepreneurial families, in 1957. Aptly named Dutch Gold Honey, Ralph Gamber’s family honey business began in 1946 when a doctor ordered him to find a relaxing hobby in response to his heart issues. That’s when, much to the chagrin of his wife Luella, Ralph ventured off to purchase 3 colonies of bees at a local farm sale. But due to the inherent entrepreneurial spirit of the Gambers, beekeeping wouldn’t remain a hobby for long; before they knew it, the operation had outgrown their home and expanded into its own separate honey house. Nancy Gamber, Ralph’s daughter and now President and Chief Executive Officer of Dutch Gold Honey, remembers her father as a natural when it came to matters of business. He had a vision for the future, she recalls. My parents worked very hard to make the whole company workthat’s why they relied on their family. And even as the company expanded and shifted into honey packaging, the Gambers held those family and community values close. The company has donated $2 million dollars to their community initiative, the Gamber Foundation, which supports charitable organizations across Lancaster. Lancaster County gave us our start, so giving back to the community is really important, Nancy explains. Dutch Gold Honey’s products can be found on the shelves of grocery stores across the country. But those interested in more rare varietals (or ordering in bulk) can also place orders on their website, dutchgoldhoney.com. And, yes: even online, you can still purchase those adorable honey bears.
