Ephrata Cloister's Apple Dumpling Sale
The forty-year tradition of Apple Dumpling Sales to support the Historic Ephrata Cloister continues, but this year with a new twist. Like other events reimaged with the concern for everyone’s heath, this year the apple dumplings will need to be pre-ordered and pre-paid. This new system will insure everyone’s safety with little contact. Orders and payment can be made online at https://ephrata-cloister-associates.ticketleap.com/. Orders can also be placed by mail by sending a note with your name, the number of dumplings, and a check made payable to Ephrata Cloister Associates sent to Ephrata Cloister Associates Apple Dumplings, 632 W. Main St., Ephrata, 17522. The dumplings are $5.00 each and all orders are due by September 23. They can be picked up in a drive-through at the Historic Ephrata Cloister on Friday, September 9 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and on Saturday, September 10 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Be sure to specify your pick-up date on your order.
Once again, Achenbach’s Bakery of Leola will supply the delicious treats of apples, sugar, and cinnamon wrapped in pastry. Over the years these humble but tasty dumplings have helped to return rare precious items to the Historic Ephrata Cloister, the place where Ephrata began. Funds raised with the apple dumplings stay right here and to support the educational programs at the museum. Each year thousands of people travel from around the globe to discover this early community. Today, the site has earned the exclusive distinction as a National Historic Landmark, only one of five in Lancaster County. This means that the significance of the Historic Ephrata Cloister goes beyond listing on the National Register of Historic Places considered as important for preservation, to have the qualities that contribute to the nation’s history.
