If you are gonna have a career or plan to work after you retire, at least make it something you thoroughly love to enjoy and if you are really lucky a loved one will be able to join you on your next chapter of life. The journey for Steeples and Peoples podcast this week brings us to Mazzaroth Vineyard in Middletown Maryland. I'd love to tell you we sat down with co-owner Garry Cohen and had a discussion but it was a bit more than that. His energy for what he and his wife put into their vineyard is glaring and we are looking forward to sharing with everyone the passion and non-stop level of the pursuit of the best wine that you will ever taste.

The foundation of our world is rocks. They come in many different sizes, shapes, colors and textures. On the Steeples and Peoples podcast this week Richard Bailey, long time owner of Earthly Elements joins us to talk about his passion for these treasures from the ground. He shares about how as a young boy in Dallas he became fascinated with rocks and his personal business as a child that was unique compared to other 6 year olds. Richard talks about how he travels to find various different rocks at shows around the country that are considerably valuable but yet maintains his focus of providing opportunities for kids to purchase their only jewels at a reasonable cost. A Renaissance man himself, Richard shares with us about how he has parlayed his rocking world at the yearly festival.

In 1979 it started then 2 years later a migration to Frederick County occurred and a small piece of land was purchased with a dream of growing a vineyard and creating one of the best wines that your palette could enjoy. The Steeples and Peoples podcast visits Elk Run Vineyards and talks with majority owner, Fred Wilson. Fred shares with us what led him to the Mount Airy location, how his passion became a reality and the growth they have had since their humble beginnings in the early '80's. Fred tells about where you can find his delightful product aside from the vineyard. He talks about the products that they have and what is their #1 seller. If you're looking for entertainment Elk Run offers that as well. The scenic drive and quaint setting is worth it and oh topping it off with some of the best wine you may ever enjoy adds to this incredible experience.

Tucked away in a tranquil setting in a serene location with plenty of wildlife naturally roaming the grounds looking for their next meal. The Steeples and Peoples podcast ventured out to Fox Haven Organic Farm and talked with Joann Coates-Hunter the Farm Director.

It has been a growing year 2 for the Steeples and Peoples podcast. We have continued to learn and grow and hopefully, inform Frederick County through our mission statement all of the amazing things that happen right at your doorstep. From Emmittsburg to Adamstown to Urbana we scoured and met with people who had amazing stories about how they've created their life's adventure whether it be a restaurant, and event or simply an animal that brings comfort and love to those he meets. As you listen and absorb our thoughts about our journety we hope you will continue help us grow by being a listener, sharing with your friends and go out their and get some of the new "Steeples and Peoples merch we have just released.

Thank you again from Terri and Mark for your ongoing support and we hope to make year 3 even greater one with our guests!

As winter sets upon in the next month, Frederick has annual traditions that keep spirits high, when it is dark at 5 pm and cold. We were fortunate enough to connect with one of the key people behind the Boats on the canal or Sailing through the Winter Solstice. The Steeples and Peoples podcast sat down with Peter Kremers,who has played an intricate role in the growth and production of this Frederick original. Peter talks about his role in the organization and what else they do besides the boats. He shares with us when the boats will be launched, how charity is the main goal for this non-profit and how they have continued to grow since their inception in 2016. Get your warmest coat, gloves, and a hat ready to go visit this year's version of Sailing through the Winter Solstice on the canal, as I am sure you will be delighted, as always!
