If you’re looking for a delicious taste of Poland, you need look no further than an unassuming booth at the Saucon Valley Farmers’ Market in Hellertown.
Wedzonka LLC is the business name selected by Barbara and Robert Stanczak, the husband-and-wife team who lovingly curate a weekly menu for the booth.
That menu that includes well-known Polish favorites like pierogies and kielbasa along with a large variety of smoked meats, cheeses, sauerkraut, sauces, jams, soups and fresh baked goods, including poppyseed and blueberry rolls. They even offer smoked salmon.
A detailed list of all the products Kunkletown-based Wedzonka sells can be found on their website, PoconoWedzonka.com, and the owners are always happy to introduce new customers to the Old Country foods they find so much joy in sharing.
“We take pride in our cooking and make it with love,” the site notes. “We offer a full array of specialties made by hand in the traditional way according to proven Polish recipes from our parents and grandparents.”
