This month on Eye on the Anthracite Region, we visit Boujie Farm Girl — an intriguing name for an equally unique business. Lauren and her family have turned a mini farm in Pine Grove into the home of a growing agritourism adventure centered around one very special attraction: Highland cows. Originally from Lancaster, Lauren grew up around farming and brought that background with her to Schuylkill County, where she is building something all her own. From cow-cuddling experiences with adorable Highland calves to special events held throughout the year both on the farm and on the road, Boujie Farm Girl is giving people a chance to get up close and personal with these gentle giants — and the business is just getting started.

What began as a mother-daughter hobby of estate shopping and treasure hunting has grown into one of Schuylkill County’s most unique shopping experiences. This month on Eye on the Anthracite Region, we visit Vintage 61 Storehouse in Orwigsburg, where owner Laura transformed the former family lumber yard into a 20,000-square-foot destination filled with inspiration. Vintage treasures, restored furniture, and modern décor come together in beautifully designed spaces that help visitors imagine new possibilities for their own homes. With 25 other small businesses—including a bakery—calling the storehouse home, every visit offers something different as displays are constantly changing, making Vintage 61 Storehouse a place where customers love to browse, discover, and take home a piece of the past.

🌫️ Poor Air Quality Can Affect More Than Your Lungs—It Can Irritate Your Eyes Too! 👁️

💡 A few simple tips:
✅ Stay indoors when air quality is poor.
✅ Wear sunglasses outside.

For 60 years, Plain N Fancy Donut Shop has been a Schuylkill Haven tradition. After closing in 2022, the beloved business was brought back to life by local realtor and community revitalizer Tiffany Youst, who has helped save several coal region landmarks. Today, Plain N Fancy is bustling once again, with customers enjoying the homemade donuts they love along with an expanded menu of coffee drinks, sandwiches, and pretzels. This month on Eye on the Anthracite Region, we visit a sweet success story in Schuylkill County.

On this month’s Eye on the Anthracite Region, we step back in time at the Orwigsburg Historical Society & Museum, where the rich history of southern Schuylkill County is carefully preserved and shared. More than 30 years ago, a dedicated group of volunteers came together with a mission to save the deteriorating Friendship Hose Number One firehouse. Once restored, the historic building became the perfect home for countless artifacts and exhibits that tell the story of the area and the people who shaped it. Today, the museum is not only a place to learn about the past, but also a welcoming community gathering spot that continues to bring people back to Orwigsburg.
