Each listing is in a county of the Great Allegheny Passage. All information, including, but not limited to, contact information is subject to change. Any exclusion or inaccuracy was unintentional. If you have updated information for a farm or market listed, or know of an omission that can be added to a list, please contact the Trail Town Program® at 724-216-9160. Farms and markets are categorized based on the county in which they are located. Within each county section, the listings are organized alphabetically. The Trail Town Outreach Corps is a joint project of The Progress Fund and the Student Conservation Association. The program’s mission is to foster economic revitalization and sustainable redevelopment in the Great Allegheny Passage Trail Towns through minds-on and hands-on community service. The Trail Town Program® is a project of The Progress Fund developed in conjunction with the Allegheny Trail Alliance to realize the economic potential of the Great Allegheny Passage. The program’s purpose is to ensure that trail communities and businesses maximize the economic potential of the trail. More information on both the Trail Town Outreach Corps and the Trail Town Program® can be found at trailtowns.org or by calling 724-216-9160. 5 Definition of Terms As with any industry, agriculture has words and phrases that are commonly used to describe products and methods of producing, or raising, said commodities. Here are some of the agricultural terms used throughout these lists and their definitions: Certified Naturally Grown farmers do not use synthetic herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics, hormones, or genetically modified organisms. Additionally, livestock must have space for movement and be raised mostly on pasture.1 Community-supported agriculture (CSA) is essentially a subscription to a farmer’s produce. Members buy a share from a farmer at the beginning of the growing season and each week receive a portion of whatever the farmer has harvested.2 Free-range animals have been allowed access to the outside.3 Grass-fed means the animals have had a diet solely of forage consisting of grass, forbs, browse, or cereal grain crops in the pre-grain state. The only exception is milk fed to the animal while weaning.4 Pastured is similar to free-range. However, pastured animals have access to naturally occurring food sources, including insects, grasses and seeds. A movable enclosure may be used to rotate the pasture the animals have access to. This label is not regulated by a governmental or nongovernmental entity, and thus the producer is responsible for using the “pastured” label.5 USDA Certified Organic crops are grown without irradiation, sewage sludge, synthetic fertilizers, prohibited pesticides, and genetically modified organisms. Certified livestock producers must meet health and wellness standards, not use growth hormones or antibiotics, feed the livestock with 100% organic feed, and provide animals access to the outdoors.6 1“Frequently Asked Questions,” Certified Naturally Grown, accessed March 6, 2013, http://www.naturallygrown.org/about-cng/frequently-asked-questions 2 “Community Supported Agriculture,” United States Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Library, accessed March 6, 2013, http://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/pubs/csa/csa.shtml. 3 “Meat and Poultry Labeling Terms,” United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service, accessed March 6, 2013, http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Meat_&_Poultry_Labeling_Terms/index.asp. 4 “Grass Fed Marketing Claim Standards,” United S States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service, accessed March 6, 2013, http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/. 5 “Eggs,” Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture, accessed March 6, 2013, http://cuesa.org/food/eggs. 6 “Organic Standards,” United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service, accessed March 6, 2013, http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/. 6 Farms Allegany County, Maryland Cedar Rock Farm - 301-264-4162 • Certified Naturally Grown vegetables and herbs; grass-fed beef • CSA available Address: 14611 Mile Lane, NW, Mount Savage, MD Website: www.cedarrockfarm.org DeHaven Farm - 301-777-8497 • Vegetables, herbs • CSA available Address: 11215 DeHaven Road NE, Cumberland, MD Munchies Quail and Guinea Farm - 410-417-8245 • Quail and guinea meat and eggs Address: 725 Park Street, Cumberland, MD Website: www.emonstore.com Rice’s Orchard - 301-722-8056 • Vegetables, fruit Address: 11400 Mt.

  • Littleboroughs— Nestled in the First and Second Range of Hills South of Pittsburgh Beltzhoover and Allentown
    REMINISCENCES OF BELTZHOOVER AND ALLENTOWN Two Old-Time Western Pennsylvania Boroughs* C. A. Weslager is known, still less has been published, and the meager in- formation available is gradually disappearing about the two Littleboroughs— nestled in the first and second range of hills south of Pittsburgh Beltzhoover and Allentown. Allentown, the older of the two, was incorporated in 1869 and annexed to Pittsburgh in 1874. Beltzhoover, incorporated in 1875, became part of the city in 1898. Their former borough names are still used although they no longer have political significance. Ifyou hail a cab in downtown Pittsburgh and ask the driver to take you to Beltz- hoover or Allentown,he won't remind you that your destination should properly be referred to as the Eighteenth Ward. He will whisk you across the Smithfield Street Bridge, left on West Carson Street, and up cobbled Brownsville Avenue, one of the city's oldest and steepest streets, now called new Arlington Avenue. At the top of the hillyou will intersect Warrington Avenue, the main street of the two former boroughs. Here the driver probably will throw on his brakes and ask for your specific destination. If you say Millbridge Street (although there was never a mill or bridge to warrant the name), he willhave you there in a jiffy.But ifyou were to direct him to Maple Street, for example, the former name of Millbridge, he would look at you with a blank expression. No street exists today with that name. Maple Street never was an avenue lined with maples. Itderived Mr. Weslager received an Award of Merit from the American Association for State and Local History for his contributions to the history of the Delaware Valley region and the State of—Delaware.

The Whisky Insurrection INTRODUCTORY. Our point of view has much to do with our estimate of things and events, as we look upon them. Sometimes too close proximity gives us an exaggerated view of that upon which we look, even to the shutting out of related things of vastly greater importance. A silver dime, held close to the eyeball, is suffi- cient to blot out of view the sky with its vista of unnumbered worlds. But, on the other hand, wnth some objects of com- manding importance, a distant view is necessary to gain an ade- quate perception of them.

    THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Volume 46 October 1963 Number 4 INCLINE PLANES AND PEOPLE — SOME PAST AND PRESENT ONES Margaret Pearson Both well and coal inclines started Pennsylvania on its way to commercial greatness. Passenger inclines accelerated the Coaleconomic growth of the Commonwealth, but most of them have disappeared. One of the ingenious methods used in Pennsylvania more than a century ago for transporting coal from very lofty heights was by inclined plane. That mode of transportation was used at Mauch Chunk as early as May,1827. The inclined plane there may have been the first one in our country. Aninteresting account of it, written in 1832, began as follows : Mauch Chunk. Under this title it is proposed to give an account of the famous coal mountain, and the magnificent improvements of which it has been the cause . The name of this mountain is of Indian origin, and in the language of the Lenni Lenappi (Dela wares) is said to signify Bear Mountain. The writer then described the marvellous achievement in detail. 1 The system was still in operation in 1872, for a writer stated then that the length of the Mount Pisgah plane "is 2250 feet/' the elevation 850 feet from its base to its summit ;and the incline plane at Mount Jefferson "is 2070 feet long, rising 462 feet." 2 Mrs. Bothwell, a native of Pittsburgh, does exhaustive research inthe history of her city as an avocation. —Ed. 1See Appendix I. 2 First Century of National Existence; The United States as They Were and Are (Hartford, Conn., 1872), 136.
