I like travel and food. And I find that local travel and local food are well worth looking into. One of these local treasures is Maryland's Cumberland. Oftentimes the starting point for bikers and hikers of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, visiting this city makes for a nice day trip.
The mountainous landscape offers breath-taking views. You will be surrounded by greenery, rolling meadows, valleys, and heavily forested areas. A great variety for the eye! And let's not forget about spotting herds of cows, wild animals, and birds flying high up in the skies.

Once you have taken in the natural sights, make a point of walking through the city's local farmer's market. The farmers are passionate about their land, their fruits and vegetables, and their homemade treats. And everything is so yummy! Just a couple of days ago, my husband reminded me that we are running out of the blueberry jam from the Walnut Ridge Farm I purchased some time ago.
A local bumper sticker may remind you that "I farm. You eat." Upon walking through the market, you will be surrounded by people who put time and hard work into their extensive gardens. Get chatting with locals about their secret recipe for a peach pie or zucchini bread ... You will not leave empty handed.
