Title — Keystone Dawn Feast™
“Rise, O dawn of the Susquehanna, and pour thy golden hush upon hearth and heart alike.”
Origin Lore — Myth of Birth
Legends whisper that when the first rays of light kissed the rolling hills of
Pennsylvania, a humble farmer offered hot apple-butter–glazed scrapple,
Amish baked oatmeal, and sweet maple-chocolate drizzle to the sun itself.
The sun, delighted, blessed the land with fertile fields and industrious souls,
weaving this hearty breakfast into the state’s eternal rhythm of work, worship,
and wonder.
Brand Mythos — Expanded Creation Story
Brand Origin Story
Keystone Dawn Feast™ was birthed in a century-old barn near Lancaster,
where Mennonite, German, and modern foodie traditions converged in sacred
collaboration. Each ingredient was chosen for its historic
resonance—from Dutch pantry staples to Hershey’s hometown cocoa—forming a
bridge between past and present.
Expansion Prophecy
As travelers taste the Feast, they carry its warmth beyond state lines,
inspiring farm-to-table dawn rituals across America. In a decade, every
slow-food café from Portland to Miami will host a Keystone Hour,
reinforcing mindful mornings and local sourcing nationwide.
