LeRaysville, Pennsylvania, faced a heartbreaking loss when a fire destroyed LeRaysville Meat and Cheese over the weekend, a much-loved shop that had been a vital part of the community for over 40 years.

Originally established in 1978 by a group of Amish farmers, the business changed hands and added meat processing, but always prioritized quality and tradition. Known for the custom butchering of beef, pork, and lamb, and for processing deer and elk during hunting season, the shop stood out for its excellent service.
