Episode 23: Goot Essa in Nittany Valley

Seen Through A Glass

I love the ridges and valleys of Central Pennsylvania!

This episode is all about one of those valleys: Nittany Valley, which runs northeast from Bellefonte up toward Lock Haven. It's a long groove, filled brim to brim with farms, little towns like Zion, and Hublersburg, and Mingoville,

It's also home to Blonde Bistro Brew Works, the Hublersburg Inn, Goot Essa cheese makers, and Mark's Custom Meats, a custom butcher. I visited three of these places, and got an interview with Goot Essa's John Esh, his first podcast interview, and my first Amish interview.

I've got information for you on three area Oktoberfest celebrations, and one uniquely central Pennsylvania celebration, Goose Day in the Juniata Valley. Goose Day is like nothing else, and I'm going to get into it this year. Join me!

In two weeks...okay, now it's time for the coffee story! Then Cathy and I will be driving out to Colorado to visit family. We'll be gone for two weeks, but I'll have an episode up for you, a special whiskey interview I've got scheduled in Denver. Wait and see!
