Yoder's Hillside Bakery is currently a division of Hamco, Inc. Hamco was established in 1973 as a small grain elevator having a storage capacity of 9,000 bushels. This small operation was started as a partnership between W. Ronald Hodge and Edward Martsoft.

Through the 1980's, after Hodge bought Martsoft's share, Hamco began the diversification process. The newest division is the Hillside Bakery.

It was initially created by an Amish family in 1987 to serve local grocers and the local population. It produced mostly cookies, something that has become a trademark of this establishment. After various circumstances put the bakery on turbulent times, it was purchased in 2003 by Hamco, Inc. and was incorporated as a division of Hamco.
