Growing Connections at Hoffer Farm
BY CAT SHANNON
Olivia St. Clair’s role at Pleasant View Communities is not one that typically comes to mind when thinking of the retirement industry.
Since September of last year, St. Clair has served as farm manager of Hoffer Farm, the on-site small-scale farm in Manheim that is home to a few alpacas, goats, sheep and chickens as well as a robust hydroponics growing system that yields a wide variety of vegetables.
St. Clair, who grew up in Harrisburg and graduated from Penn State with a degree in plant sciences, brings with her extensive experience in farming.
She worked at a farmers market and orchard in high school, but discovered her passion for agriculture in college, where she became a proponent of local, sustainable food and educating others about how to grow it themselves.
“You can explain the feeling to someone, but it’s unmatched to see the joy on someone’s face whenever they plant a seed and then get to be rewarded by the plant whenever it produces the fruit, flower or vegetable,” she said. “It’s a one-ofa-kind and special feeling.”
She was drawn to the role at Pleasant View - the first of its kind at the site - for many reasons. It will allow her to teach others while also learning from the people she works alongside.
“I am most excited to start growing things and getting an actively producing farm up and running!” she said. “There are so many opportunities to establish educational opportunities and get people involved, so I’m excited
to see how I can impact the lives in the community. … There is so much potential for this space, and I feel so honored to be allowed to steward the land.”
She also enjoys being a part of an industry that’s small but important.
“Farmers make up less than 3% of the working world, so it means so much more as a young woman farmer to have a hand in creating something powerful that will serve the community,” she stated.
She knows the role also presents a few challenges, included getting the farm fully operational.
“Navigating the funding and
financial support as well as regulations will be the visible obstacles that we will be encountering and trying to overcome,” she said, adding that she has a team of dedicated people helping her achieve her goals for the farm. “We have a master plan that we are chipping away at, but we have some preliminary plans that are in the works right now.”
Those plans include building three high tunnels that will allow seedling growth and provide a season and production extension, as well as developing high-density orchards and educational gardens. In the time she’s been on-site, St. Clair has taken an active role

In the heart of Lancaster city, land at the junction of Juliette and Frances avenues hides a secret, and it’s one that local resident Jeremy Raff is determined to bring back into the light. Nearly a century ago, the site housed Rossmere Base Ball Park, where some of baseball’s greatest talents played, but their stories have long gone untold.
In the 1920s, Rossmere hosted the Harrisburg Giants, an Eastern Colored League team led by center fielder and player-manager Oscar Charleston, whom historians rank among the greatest baseball players of all time.
Alongside him were teammates like Rap Dixon, a talented outfielder and all-around powerhouse, and Clarence “Fats” Jenkins, a dynamic leadoff hitter who later starred in basketball and earned a spot in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Though Jackie Robinson broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier in 1947, Lancaster had hosted major league-level Black baseball decades earlier - a fact often forgotten until Major League Baseball officially recognized Negro League statistics as major league records in 2020.
Also largely forgotten was the role Lancaster city played in promoting Negro League games. From 1925-27, the Giants played 20 exhibitions at Rossmere and several league games with thousands of fans in attendance. The players thrilled crowds with feats like their triple steal in the eighth inning of their first league game at Rossmere on April 26,

Make It With Wool Contest Announced
The 2025 Pennsylvania Make It With Wool Contest will take place on Saturday, Oct. 4, in the PA Preferred Banquet Hall at the Farm Show Complex, 2300 N. Cameron St., Harrisburg. Youths and adults who sew, knit, or crochet garments with wool or other animal fibers may participate. The categories will be preteens, for those ages 8 to 12; juniors, ages 13 to 16; seniors, ages 17 to 24; adults, age 25 and older; and made for others, for which the model and contestant may be any age. Ages are as of Jan. 1.
Expert judges will handle the garments and meet with the contestants. Judging will be based on the following criteria: appropriate to contestant’s lifestyle; fit and overall appearance; coordination of fabric or yarn with garment style and design; contestant’s presentation; construction quality; creativity in design and use of wool; and conveys or promotes the beauty, comfort, and versatility of wool. All fabrics or yarns used in the body of the garment must be 60% or more animal fiber. Interfacings, linings, and trims do not need to be wool.
The Pennsylvania Sheep and Wool Growers Association and other donors will provide the funding for prizes for the winners in each category. The winners in the junior and senior categories
will be eligible to compete at the National Make It With Wool Contest in Reno, Nev., in January 2026.
The goals of the contest are to promote the beauty and versatility of wool fabrics and yarns; to encourage personal creativity in sewing, knitting, crocheting, spinning, and weaving with wool fabrics and yarns; to recognize creative skills; to help participants develop life skills, including being responsible for oneself, being a good sport, and accepting judges’ decisions; and learning about and appreciating diversity.
There is a registration
fee, plus a testing fee per fabric or yarn used. Participants must register no later than Tuesday, Sept. 2. All who register will receive a piece of wool yardage. To register, visit www.make itwithwool.com.
Three national contests are also available for anyone to enter. These are mail-in contests; contestants will not compete in Harrisburg on Oct. 4. They are a sweater contest, a recycle/upcycle contest, and a producer-tocrafter contest.

day, July 30, from 8 a.m. to noon and from 4 to 6 p.m.

Hoffer Farm
in Pleasant View’s hydroponics program, and she’s working toward launching a variety of initiatives, including mobile garden carts and hydroponic towers for residents in personal care and skilled nursing, growing additional crops for local food banks and increasing opportunities for residents to interact with the farm animals.
She’s also working closely with students from Manheim Central High School’s life skills class, as well as students in agriculture classes.
“We love Manheim Central, and we are so appreciative of our partnership with the school,” she commented, noting that the students are using some of
from pg 1
the land at Pleasant View to grow popcorn. “They will grow it and then harvest it in the fall and use the product as a fundraiser.”
Plans are also in the works to create a program for students to raise lambs born at the farm and then show them at the Manheim Farm Show.
“The life skills students are an important part of the animal program as well,” St. Clair said. “They will come out and walk the animals with our resident volunteers, and you can feel the peace and joy radiating from everyone involved. It helps to reaffirm the purpose of our programs here.”
Hoffer Farm is truly an intergenerational project,
with Pleasant View residents joining in the farm’s efforts.
“I have learned so much in the short time that I have been here, and I owe it to the residents,” St. Clair remarked. “They are truly the heart and soul of the farm programs here, and they have fostered the project to this point, so I value their input and support through and through.”
Hoffer Farm offers a welcoming space where anyone, regardless of experience, can learn, teach and engage in agriculture, empowering them to serve the community and leave feeling inspired, an ongoing goal as the farm continues to grow, St. Clair said.
Currently, Hoffer Farm events are open only to residents and staff, but visitors can visit the walking path and see the animals and land.
St. Clair hopes to have programs open to the public in the future, adding, “Everyone in the community here at PV and Manheim are at the top of our minds whenever we are planning things, so it’ll just be a fun and neat place to learn and discover something they might not have known or had access to before.”
For more information on Hoffer Farm, follow Pleasant View Communities on social media. A farm website will launch later this summer.
The sub and pretzel sandwich sale will benefit children at Jesus Hobbs House of Hope School and Children’s Home.

1925 - a play involving Jenkins, Dixon and Charleston - but the field was lost when the baseball park was demolished to make way for Lancaster Catholic High School.
That history might have remained buried if not for Raff, a Lancaster native who discovered Charleston’s connection to the city while reading Jeremy Beer’s biography of the Hall of Famer in 2021.

“I grew up in Lancaster, and I’ve played baseball my whole life, and I did not know this connection,” Raff said. “If this had been the Phillies playing here, we’d never stop talking about it.”
What started as a curiosity became a mission. Raff spent two years researching the Harrisburg Giants’ time in Lancaster, partnering with Negro League historian and Lancaster Catholic graduate Ted Knorr to gather details and raise awareness.
His work culminated in the dedication of a historic marker outside Lancaster Catholic High School in June, celebrating Rossmere’s place in baseball history and marking the 100th anniversary of the first Negro League game. Descendants of Giants players attended the unveiling, a powerful moment that connected Lancaster’s present with its overlooked past.
“I had a desire to elevate this story,” Raff said. “The more people I talked to
Raff noted that while the field was demolished in 1929, its site is now also commemorated with a plaque on the ground inside Lancaster Catholic High School marking the approximate spot of home plate. The outside plaque is located on Frances Avenue where the first-base grandstands would have stood.
Raff’s project has also included community partnerships to spread the word creatively. Spring House Brewing Co. launched “Fence Bustin’,” a commemorative pilsner honoring the Giants, with proceeds benefiting Community Action Partnership (CAP) of Lancaster County’s Crispus Attucks Community Center, which celebrates African American history.
The Lancaster Stormers hosted a Negro Leagues Night in June, donning Giants replica jerseys later auctioned to support CAP.
Meanwhile, LancasterHistory unveiled “Open The Door: Baseball’s Color Line in Central Pennsylvania,” an exhibit curated by Raff highlighting not only the
Giants but also stories like that of Keith Kelley, who pitched a no-hitter for the Lancaster Red Roses in his debut in 1951, only to face racist hostility from fans.
The exhibit will run through Saturday, Aug. 30, at 230 N. President Ave., Lancaster.
For Raff, who works as the director of data analytics and strategy for the School District of Lancaster, the project has had a ripple effect, sparking conversations about local Black history and inspiring pride in Lancaster’s place in
Landis Valley Plans Civil War Days
Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum, 2451 Kissel Hill Road, Lancaster, will host Civil War Days, an
annual tradition that brings the 1860s to life through the sights, sounds, and stories of the American Civil War, on
Saturday and Sunday, July 19 and 20. The museum will open at 9 a.m. on July 19 and 10 a.m. on July 20 and close at 4 p.m. both days. The event is included with standard daily admission, and Landis Valley season pass members will receive free entry.
The weekend will include hands-on opportunities for learning, storytelling, and honoring those who shaped
baseball’s story.
“Being able to highlight these stories has given me so much joy,” Raff said, noting that while he plans to take a break before diving into his next passion project, he’s not done yet. “I continue to be fascinated by the history of baseball in Lancaster, and at some point, I’d like to do even more on the subject.”

the nation. The programs will be family friendly and offer a look at both military and civilian life during the Civil War. In addition to military drills, living history camps, educational talks, and battlefield medicine demonstrations, this year’s event will feature a presentation by Civil War historian and author Scott Mingus Sr. His talk titled “The Lincoln Funeral Train” will take place at 10 a.m. on July 19 in the Visitors Center Auditorium, followed by a book signing on the Museum Store porch until 1 p.m. As a prelude to the weekend, Civil War re-enactors will present the color guard ceremony at the Lancaster Stormers game on Friday, July 18.

Saquon Barkley is Special Guest at UDSF Gala
United Disabilities Services Foundation (UDSF) recently hosted its largest and most successful gala and event to date. Commemorating its 60 years of service, the Diamond Jubilee Gala hallmarked all the work the organization has done and included a special guest, 2025 Super Bowl champion and Offensive Player of the Year for the 2024 NFL season, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley.
This year’s annual gala sold out quickly and drew 750 attendees for an evening of connection, philanthropy and service. The highlight of the evening was the fireside-style chat with Barkley, conducted by Eagles insider Dave Spadaro.
Barkley also signed a football, a helmet and a jersey for the live auction. These items garnered some of the highest bids of the evening, raising $6,000, $25,000 and
$14,000, respectively.
UDSF announced that the event raised close to $650,000 through sponsorships, the auction and ticket sales for its mission to provide personal care and support services for older adults and people with disabilities.
The organization looks forward to supporting more clients for years to come and welcoming even more attendees to its annual events as it continues to grow. For more information about UDSF, visit www .udservices.org.
CASA Receives Grant
CASA of Lancaster and Lebanon Counties was awarded a $10,000 Impact Grant from the United Way of Lebanon County for the second year in a row.
Court-appointed special advocates are trained volunteers appointed to advocate for children who have been placed in the foster care system because of abuse or neglect. With the support of this year’s United Way of Lebanon County Impact
Grant, CASA hopes to recruit, train, and swear in 20 new advocates and serve an additional 20 children. Three volunteers are currently in pre-service training.
Last year’s grant from United Way of Lebanon allowed CASA to hire a dedicated Lebanon County program specialist.
Anyone who would like to learn more about CASA and what volunteer
advocates do may attend a Becoming a CASA In-Person Information Session on Thursday, July 24, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Lancaster CASA office, 120 N. Shippen St., Lancaster, or a Becoming a CASA Virtual Information Session on Wednesday, Aug. 6, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. For more information and to register, visit www .casalancleb.org/volunteer or call 717-286-1430.
