Support the Republican Newspaper! It’s only $9.95/year for the online edition!

Sep. 9, 2010

The Swan Meadow School PTO will host its 61st annual Harvest Sale on Friday, Sept. 17, at the Pleasant Valley Community Center.
This is a fundraising auction of farm produce, handmade items, and baked goods provided by families and students of Swan Meadow School, many of whom are Amish and Mennonite. Dinner food will also be offered as part of the evening.

Doughnuts made on the day of the sale will be available for purchase by 5:30 p.m. Caramels, taffy, cookies, fudge, and cinnamon rolls will also go on sale at 5:30 p.m.

Half and whole dozens of doughnuts and cinnamon rolls and gallons of apple cider will be sold under the white tent located by the entrance of the Pleasant Valley Community Center.

“This way, people who come to the Harvest Sale for homemade goodies have the option of purchasing them outside of the community center, then taking them to their vehicles before going inside for dinner and the auction,” said Elizabeth Gilbert, teacher.

Pleasant Valley, Garrett County Maryland

I had someone send me this photo of their family farm in southern Garrett County over the weekend and I was reminded of a Garrett County gem – Pleasant Valley. It’s not a town, so you can’t find it on the map as an address, but it is a collection of farms, fields, and homes on Route 219 south of Oakland. There is a prevalent Amish population, generations of local farmers and lots of other cool places to drive by and see. My father had a home in the valley for 10 years or so while I was growing up, so I was fortunate enough to have experienced the beautiful sights, sounds (and smells) of this agricultural area. Pleasant Valley lies beneath the Backbone Mountain ridge, so the backdrop of the highest point in Maryland is equally impressive as you take in the beautiful sights and sounds of Pleasant Valley! Take a trip to see the working farms, and stop by one of the many ‘shops’ that you will encounter along the way. You buy everything from fresh produce and eggs to Garrett County’s own maple syrup, baking goods, fresh baked bread & yummy deserts. There are also fun activities like horse drawn carriage rides, the Backbone Mountain ski farm and you can even arrange a trip to see livestock on a Garrett County farm!
