Agape Valley Sugarbush: Tim and Gaye Hartwick

Agape Valley is a 140 acre property located right here in Pelham. It is owned and managed by Niagara Shorthills Christian Ministries, an autonomous, evangelical, faith ministry. They host day camps in the summer time, pavilion rentals, school tours of the sugar bush, hayrides, and, of course, their infamous “Maple Syrup Days”.

Tim and Gaye Hartwick are two of the amazing people behind Agape Valley and all of the wonderful events that take place there. They also own Personal Touch Home Improvements, CoverAll Siding, Windows and Aluminum Products and Hartwick Contracting (holy smokes, and I thought that I was busy!). They are two true givers in the community who care a great amount about Pelham’s youth and the betterment of society.

I met up with them, and even though their schedules are hectic, they took the time to sit with me, talk about their role in the community, and tell me all about the Agape Valley sugarbush. They even took me over to Agape Valley for a tour, and let me just say that I was completely blown away! What an amazing place, and it is a great way to spend your weekend, enjoying their pancakes and maple syrup! They also have an extremely successful camp that they run in the summertime, that has a waiting list longer than you can image. What wonderful people, and what wonderful things they do for the community!

It is my honour to introduce to you, Tim and Gaye Hartwick. This portrait was taken in front of their favourite Maple tree, at Agape Valley Sugarbush. If you’d ike to see a couple of more portraits, please visit www.bcapblog.com.

Thanks, and see you next week
