Phillips  Lancaster County Cheese Company -- purveyor of fine domestic cheese.



SInce 1933...

Phillips Lancaster County Cheese Company had its beginnings in 1933 when a group of Amish and Mennonite farmers formed a cheesemaking co-op in the heart of the Pennsylvania Dutch farm country near Intercourse, PA.  

The depression-era business venture allowed the farmers to combine their excess milk to produce cheese for the local markets.   Eventually the operation changed to private ownership. 

In 1973, Jack and Mae Phillips bought the plant, and began perfecting their famous Lancaster County Natural Swiss cheese.  They modernized they plant, increased production, added workers, and diversified the line of cheeses.

When they retired, their son-in-law, Doug Weinhold, bought the company.  Under his leadership, Phillips Lancaster County Cheese Company developed an exclusively wholesale operation, added a fleet of trucks, and expanded the product line to include additional fine domestic cheeses and deli meats.  Today, Phillips Lancaster County Cheese Company is the fastest growing purveyor of domestic cheese in Pennsylvania.
