✅ BISCUITS

Owner and head baker Katie LaGreca tweaked her family recipe to take a starring role at Bethlehem Biscuit Company. Her biscuits are currently available at farmers’ markets and festivals around the Lehigh Valley. Early next year, she and her partner, JR Hartenstine, will debut a permanent home for their savory and sweet sandwiches at the new Riverport Public Market near Lehigh University.

natural hair conditioner

✅ NATURAL HAIR CONDITIONER

Founder Muhga Eltigani, a Forbes 30 Under 30 alum, started making her “always fresh and sometimes frozen” hair care products in her home. Now, she runs her growing NaturAll Club business out of the Bok Building. The avocado- and kiwi-based deep conditioner is a customer favorite for hydration. NaturAllClub.com

✅ POP-TARTS

Inspired by a feeling of nostalgia and simpler times, Erika Burke’s buttery treats come in flavors like lime meringue pie, guava and ham and cheese. Find them at Essen, where Burke is head baker, and around town under the name Flaky.af at spots like Rally, Herman’s Coffee and Somerset Splits. Instagram.com/flaky.af

✅ PUMPKIN OLYMPICS

The annual Pumpkin Olympics, featuring Punkin Chunkin’ machines with a 200-foot range, is back at Glen Run Valley View Farm in Atglen after a pandemic hiatus. If you can’t make it to the farm on November 13, stop by any day to pick from 50 varieties of pumpkins and gourds and play free games like pumpkin putt-putt. Glenrunvalleyview.farm

Jamaal Julal’s popular JamBrü Citywide kombucha is a juicy mix of Jamaican sorrel, lemongrass, and ginger with organic tea and cane sugar.
