About Us

Kiefer's Smoked Meats and Cheese was established in 1948. Paul Kiefer and his wife Frances Kiefer started a market stand at the Central Market in downtown Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Since then, Kiefer's Smoked Meats and Cheese has been family owned and operated. For the Past 60 years Kiefer's has been dedicated to bringing Lancaster County Fresh Farm Delicacies.
