Yes, Shanin, that’s something we long for too. As a community newspaper, watching folks go into a prolonged period of isolation — participating in it ourselves — has been hard. So hard, in fact, that many would call it the biggest challenge of...

Eliza Walton was looking for the right farm for her four Angus cows. She found it, and much more, at Egg Hill Farm, where Chris Ishler was growing row crops. Ten years later, the crop fields are pastures, and Walton and Ishler are managing a herd of 40 registered Angus. “We joke, it was a match made in farmer heaven,” Walton said.

The Westmont Diner has survived – even thrived – during the global pandemic for a myriad of reasons. It’s a place people have loved for many years that offers quality food and service.
