There are many intricate and vital working parts in our community. The decisions that are made at our local level within the township aren’t just based solely at that level. Many decisions are guided by laws and house bills made federally and at a state level in Harrisburg. Those decisions are influenced by and voiced by what we call a State Representative. Our state and county is divided into districts and our representative for Buffalo Township is today’s guest, Pa State Representative

Marci Mustello District 11

Mr. Jim Riddle was given his first calf when he was 4 years old. It’s like the rite of passage in cattle farming and he’s been doing it ever since.

He and his wife Helen fostered over 100 boys through the years and shared the love of their home generously to all of them.

This beautiful farm is nestled on my favorite road in all of Sarver; Smith Road, set with rolling hills and cattle grazing throughout.

As Sarver grows I pay close attention to documenting how it is now so we can remember how it was years from now.

I hope you enjoy taking a peek into a true farmers story.

The vision of Saved by Grace Church is to allow momentum that restores family values to our community through humble service.

That was really easy to understand and feel when I interviewed these great folks who have now transitioned from a brick and mortar church to updated pop-up style gatherings in the local community.

One of the things about their church I think many of you will love to know is that they welcome all people. All denominations, all lifestyles, each and everyone.

We have been waiting for this! Freeport/Sarver has something so amazing opening in just a few weeks!

These two ladies are laying the pathway as community connectors in Freeport and Sarver with every sip of coffee we take.

Virginia Lindsay and Karen Heilman have provided our community with something we have been thirsty for….coffee & community!

1833 makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in with the warm greetings from staff, quaint details, comfortable furnishings, and the melodies that sound throughout the room. It’s more than coffee, it’s the total experience!
