HISTORY OF HAINES PORK SHOP

One of Mickleton's most famous spots today is Haines Pork Shop at 521 Kings Highway. Rachel M. (Iredell) Haines, widow of Samuel Haines, settled here circa 1865 and had the home built at 516 Kings Highway. With her she brought a secret recipe for pork sausage and a great deal of know-how about pork butchering. Her son, Jeremiah Haines, set up a pork business across the street. He also had a store at 826 South 2nd Street in Philadelphia. His son, T. Edgar Haines carried on the business.

Today Rachel Haines great-great-grandson, Jerry, runs the family business. Haines' son-in-law Harry Sheldon works in the shop, so the future of the business will remain in the family.
