Many of us have been asking ourselves: How can I help? This pandemic is uncharted territory, but one thing is for-sure.

Plain and Fancy Farm
So the other day I was my daughter’s “Gotcha” day. In an adoption, this is a day where we celebrate a person becoming a part of the family, in this case my daughter. Often we go out to a restaurant of her choice to celebrate and give gifts. Last night we went to Plain and Fancy […]
The Essential Farmers Markets of Lancaster County
Lancaster County has a diversity of farmers’ markets.

The General Sutter […]
Oregon Dairy
When I was 16 and in 10th grade, I began working at Oregon Dairy. After all, I had a car and needed gas money and insurance money; this is one of my first jobs. I started out there as a bagger, bagging groceries for people that came to the checkout line. At times I would […]
Barberet Bistro and Bakery
I suppose I’ve written about this in other blogs as well, but my wife and I love to get away for date night; typically this takes us out and about Lancaster County. A few weekends ago my wife and I decide to head into Lancaster City, which is a cultural hotspot with many restaurants, […]
