The Butcher and Barkeep

The Butcher and Barkeep opened a few months ago in Harleysville, and it's quickly become a popular spot for craft beers, good food, and friendly service!

My favorites on the menu include their classic burger, crab cakes, and mahi-mahi!

Springtime Flowers at County Line Nursery!

It's our favorite time of the year to head outside and get our flower beds in shape, and County Line Nursery can help!

As a child, County Line Nursery was one of my very favorite places to enjoy an afternoon with my parents. They would pick out plants and seeds and garden accessories, and I would run around in the large fields looking for the prettiest flowers.

If you're thinking about a summer project, be sure to consult the helpful staff at County Line. They are very knowledgeable and always happy to help plan! Check out their website here!

Country Fair Days in Harleysville!

Some of my very favorite memories as a child were playing games and enjoying the rides at the popular Country Fair in Harleysville. Tucked behind the Harleysville Community Center, the Country Fair is easily recognizable with the huge ferris wheel and the beautiful fireworks on Friday night. Nearly the entire town stops by the fair at some point, whether it's to sample the delicious funnel cake or try their hand at the raffle.
