I talked a couple of weeks ago about the sweet potato dig at the Wellness Farm in Shrewsbury Township.
A pretty cool event, to be sure. And a chance to learn a lot more about a fairly overlooked veggie!
But our stories locally were trumped by this column from a larger "York" newspaper about the Osmans and their farm.
Check it out - it's cool!
Next in a series of profiles originally published by the Daily Record in 2002, from Census 2000 information.
Welcome to Delta, which had 741 residents and 284 occupied housing units at the time of the census.
Next week, we'll travel just outside the borough to surrounding Peach Bottom Township.
Did you know there was such a thing as a mule whisperer? One Delta couple learned first-hand from Brad Cameron, who travels across the country with his mules, during a late-September workshop in Medina, Ohio.
Cameron taught handlers safety tips, knot-tying and ways to get their livestock to work for them without causing the animals harm.
From this Cleveland Plain Dealer article:
Rob and Carole South traveled from Delta, Pa., to Minnesota earlier in the week to buy Nelson, a draft mule. The couple then drove from Minnesota to Medina for the class. Rob South said it was well worth it."We've done all this driving, and I've only been on his back for a total of 20 minutes," South said. "The tips I learned today will carry over for as long as I have him."
Meanwhile, a little closer to home, a team of Percheron horses from a farm in Delta performed horse-hitch demonstrations at the West Lampeter Community Fair in Lancaster County during the last week of September. The horses even brought the fair queen to the grounds on a wagon.
Have you seen anyone from York County in the news elsewhere? Post a comment and let me know.
