Condiments, Sauces, Beverages, and others
Many condiments are not made locally (olives are not grown anywhere in the Untied States) and a lot of spices generally do not come from here, so buying from a local grocery and from local distributors like Bell-View which can be found in almost every store around here. Bell-View provides many things from olives and mild pepper rings to mustard and hot sauce. We have yet to find a local brand of ketchup, Heinz just isn’t local anymore. We recommend making you own ketchup. This is easily done with many recipes available anywhere; books, the internet, or old family recipes. Kountry Pantry (yes again) sells many spices in bulk as well as some locally made peanut butter.

· Anthony’s brand spaghetti sauce is made locally in Johnstown. We have only seen it at Giant Eagle and Stager’s, as far as stores go, but you can luckily buy it straight from Meatballs on Scalp Avenue by Anthony’s restaurant. DelGrosso pasta sauce is from Tipton, Pa. and is readily available. They also sell a black and white label “Spaghetti Sauce,” which is distributed by DG Foods in Tipton.

· Craig’s Jones’en Espresso Barbecue Sauce. Created by young chef and entrepreneur Craig Jones from Johnstown. Interestingly enough, he splits his time between Johnstown and Detroit where he works at Wolfgang Puck Grille in MGM Grand, but he plans to keep on marketing his sauce and developing new flavors. Sold at Market Basket.

· The Village Street Café on the corner of Grove Village Street in Moxham is a great place to get coffee to drink there or to take home by the pound. They also make their own food and strive to buy locally. Next door is a locally owned tea shop called Tea Fancies.

· Maple syrup made in Somerset County is available the Hollsopple Feed Mill (see eggs section for contact info), Davidsville Hardware, and from local farmers

· Hershey’s Chocolate is not made locally anymore, so we buy chocolate from O’Shea’s which can be found in the Geistown Cloverleaf Shopping Plaza, which is off of Bedford Street in Johnstown, Pa or in the Westwood Plaza in Westmont. Blaine Boring’s Chocolates is located at 123 Market Street in Johnstown.

· College Farm Organic from Elizabethtown, PA can be located for local candy and cough drops! See their website: www.SimonCandyShop.com for details!

· There are over 70 breweries in the state of Pennsylvania. Many are within 200 miles of here. While Rolling Rock has left the area, we still have Iron City in Pittsburgh, Straub is located in St. Mary’s (whose beer contains no sugar, salt, or preservatives) and has recently released Peter Straub’s Special Dark which is lager on par with Yuengling, which is in Pottsville. Yuengling is good and still technically local, but have branched to Florida and we would rather put more towards the smaller local places. There are also craft breweries in Duncansville, Harrisburg, and Lancaster to name a few more.
