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.
