TURKEY HILL ON TV
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
Last week, Lancaster County’s local NBC affiliate, WGAL-TV, stopped by the Dairy to tape a story for the nightly news about how it’s “business as usual” for Turkey Hill despite the current economic times. That’s right, as you’ll see in the story, we’re still hiring and doing quite well thanks to our great customers.
The story shows a lot of behind-the-scenes action at the Dairy, including the production of our newest Limited Edition holiday ice cream, Ginger Snap. You might also notice in the story that the names below some of the people are incorrect. The man they say is Ernie Pinckney is really Eric Rotz, and the man they call Eric Rotz is, of course, Ernie Pinckney. That’s a shot of Ernie below from the story (check out the full video here). He loves this kind of stuff!
P.S. – Some of you are asking how we’re judging the recipes in our Ultimate Holiday Recipe Contest. It’s a good question. Here’s how it’ll work:
We’ll review all the entries and determine four finalists (two from each category) based on the creativity of the recipe, simplicity (not too easy, not too hard) and the overall appetite appeal of the recipe. Once we have our four finalists, we will personally prepare the finalist recipes in order to take photographs. Then each finalist recipe and photo will be published on the Ice Cream Journal in its own blog entry from December 7-10. On December 11, we’ll open a poll on the blog and readers will have one week to vote for their favorite recipe. On December 18, we’ll announce our winner!
Follow us on twitter!
If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.

November 10th, 2009 at 2:01 amNo matter what the economy, people will always find a little money for a treat. Since business is so good for TH it looks like that treat is ice cream. Way to go!

November 9th, 2009 at 7:54 pmnapping my butt to store to buy turkey hill ginger snap ice cream
November 9th, 2009 at 6:47 pmSo love your ice cream, try all the new flavors! This weekend I’m going to try one of your cakes.
November 9th, 2009 at 6:38 pmWill let you know what we think.
Gingersnap sounds great. I, too, hope I can find it in this area.
As for the slowdown in the economy, a little T.H. can bring a big T.L.C. Your coupons, store specials, and double and triple couponing make this little indulgence even more affordable.
November 9th, 2009 at 6:07 pmCongrats to all.
November 9th, 2009 at 5:58 pmI really hope the Phila,PA 19144 area will have the Ginger Snap frozen Ice Cream. I love Turkey Hill frozen desserts. We have tried all of the new flavors and love all of them.
November 9th, 2009 at 5:44 pmI’m happy to be a part of Turkey Hill’s success ~ We buy and eat lots of it! By the way, I love your vintage television set!!
November 9th, 2009 at 4:40 pmI’m still searching for ginger snap,and I bet it’s just as great as all your other flavors!

Ate T.H. Eagles Touchdown Sundae during the game last night.The Eagles ice cream was a lot better than the team!
November 9th, 2009 at 12:14 pmThanks for including the video link. Those who don’t live in or near Lancaster appreciate it. It’s interesting to see behind the scenes. You learn more and appreciate Turkey Hill more as a result.
November 9th, 2009 at 12:11 pmI bought two Turkey Hill fat free on Friday, but haven’s seen Ginger Snap as yet. I use ginger in all my cooking because it is good for the digestion, helpful to people who have acid reflux.
