My mother was the Ursula in the story. We left NJ in 1965, I spent a summer working at the farm in the retail store in the 70’s. The farm house had a burglar step I always tripped on, the top step was few inches taller than the rest. Also one of the trucks from the near by quarry ran into the house, the house won. Can you imagine a quarry truck running into a current house? My grandmother said she thought it was an earthquake.
Yes the chicken potpies were very well known! If I remember correctly the smaller one was 45 cents.

After revisiting this story, I had to take a treck over to Bardy Farms in Warren, NJ (Somerset County) to see if the Dewy Meadow pies were still available. YES they were and I grabbed a few, a fruit pie, cookies, milk and some fruit. I was set for the night. AWESOME CHICKEN POT PIES! History in a pie crust Basking Ridge!

Good morning. I am one of the partners continuing the proud traditions of the Krogoll family and Dewy Meadow Foods. I came across your article and enjoyed reading it and learning more about the history of the company.
I would be happy to discuss current operations and share with you the nice story of how the transition came about and our plans to carry on the legacy the family built. If you wanted to visit the new plant, I would happily provide a tour.
