We are a tiny, close-knit team. Here's a little more about who we are, what we do, and how to reach us. Keep scrolling after the bios for a map and general contact information. If you want to reach us or leave a message during business hours, please call us at 570-757-7206.
Josh Leidhecker
Owner & Founder
Reach out to Josh if:
- You want to start using Susquehanna Mills' products outside the local area.
- You have questions about what we do and how we do it.
Josh's background as an entrepreneur and builder of businesses means he's a powerhouse of ideas and motivation, and he definitely steers this ship. But he doesn't like to be thought of as the boss. He's never unwilling to jump in and do anything at all, and he finds a lot of peace in driving farm equipment around.
Dave Briggs "Briggs"
Mill Manager
Dave's our guy on the ground in the mill, pushing the oil through from grain receiving to the bottle in your pantry. Briggs handles all of our large shipments, oil refining, and feed grade meal production! He's always ready to jump in and help the team.
He came on board in 2022, and we are happy to have him. Outside of work, Briggs is a huge supporter of local music and festivals.
Jesse Walker
Mill Attendant
Jesse assists with daily mill operations, including bottling & labelling products, filtering waste oil to be recycled, and anything else that needs done! He has a forestry background, and takes joy in working with our local farm partners. In his free time, Jesse is a football coach and likes to go hiking with his dog.
Jordan Hanford
Mill Attendant
Jordan packs up the orders we ship out and gets the packages to the post office or UPS store, so when your oil arrives, thank her! She also maintains the mill's level of cleanliness. We appreciate the care and attention she demonstrates on the job, and has been showing since she joined our team in 2020. Along with being an awesome member of the Mill, Jordan is a nature enthusiast, photographer, and dog lover!
Eric Deuel "Deuely"
Construction & Mechanical Repairs
Deuely is quiet, steady, and productive. He knows everything about how the shop works, and has built, edited, and reassessed frequently. You'll see him doing any task that needs to be done, whether it's refining oil, fixing a truck, or anything really. If something needs fixed and another team member can't figure it out, we call him! Deuely is Josh's right hand man, and has worked with him since 2001.
He does not want you to reach out to him.
Charles Jacobs
Delivery Driver
Charles started driving commercially with us, and loves being on the go! He delivers our oil and picks up waste oil to and from commercial kitchens, including restaurants, colleges, and distributors. When he is not on the road, other jobs Charles performs include jugging, packaging & labeling, and assisting our kitchen staff at events.
Ellissa Temple
Kitchen Coordinator
You can find Ellissa working on our mobile fry wagon at the Williamsport Growers Market and other events, or in our kitchen at Today Farm. She is the reason all of our food is made with love! If you have tried our homemade potato chips (available locally), Ellissa probably made them. Outside of work, she enjoys reading and spending time with her son and dogs.
