Autumn Is Going Green!

In the process of "going green," Autumn is utilizing as many local resources as possible. In addition to being the first Permanent Business Partner of PASA (Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture) we order many products from Penn Corner Farm Alliance, which is a 10 farm co-op that produces a wide variety of products ranging from fresh green beans to organic chicken. Autumn is also using a local Pennsylvania duck company called Joe Jurgielewicz & Son, a producer of some of the highest quality duck and duck products in the country. We also have some of the best lamb in the country in our back yard - Green County, Pennsylvania. Elysian Fields produces a wonderfully mild and consistent product. With all these local companies producing such high quality product it almost seems easy for us to go green. And to respect these local companies we pour as much love into our food as they do their respective products.

The Off-Road Driving Academy Is Back!

The Off Road Driving Academy At Nemacolin will be in full force this summer with the addition of the Jeep Rubicons! Operating daily for Instructional Series and Ride Alongs, these four door Rubicons are the most capable off-road vehicle to date at the Academy.

The Rubicons can tackle 40 degree side slopes and 60 degree inclines with ease. The vehicle is equipped with a rock track transfer case which allows the vehicle to go through rock gardens you wouldn’t dream of entering.

Our Instructional Series is geared toward teaching you the specifics of the vehicle and how to operate it safely in the field. The Rock Course at the Adventure Center that will allow you to get comfortable with how the vehicle handles rock crawls, side slopes, inclines, log crossings and water fording ponds. After each member has gone through the course, the rest of the time will be dedicated to driving on some of our 20+ miles of trails on property. The total duration of the trip lasts 1.5 hours and is offered at 9:00 a.m., 12:30 p.m and 3:30 p.m.

We also offer a Ride Along where one of our professional off-road drivers will navigate the vehicle through the Rock Course then out to the trails for a total trip time of 30 minutes. This trip is great for a family that wants to tour the property and get a little muddy while doing so. These trips are offered at 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

Take to the trails during your next Nemacolin visit. Our Off-Road Driving Academy is sure to treat the family with an experience you’ll never forget! Check out the video and see what I mean.
