We just ended selling for Weekend 7 and it was fantastic. We had a decent day at T&R Farms on Friday. We certainly didn’t set any records there, but was a quiet way to start the weekend.
We had purchased on Thursday in Kutztown and on Friday hit Lancaster. Chuck sold while my father and I drove to Lancaster to by Amish produce at Leola. We came back from Leola with another 50 dozen corn and added 160 cantaloupe to the mix.
Saturday at Saylorsburg was a good day. The weather was really nice, not too humid. We took half the cantaloupes and only had bi-color corn along. We had the white and bi-color on Friday.
Sunday became a HUGE ‘if’ day. The weather had turned to possible rain and thunderstorms. We took the chance that it would only rain in the PM. We were right (for a change)
Loading the rest of everything we owned for the weekend, we headed off.
It could not have been better. By the end of the weekend we had sold 86 dozen corn, 160 cantaloupes, all the beets, cucumbers, that we owned. We had a box of hot peppers, a box of plums and a box of zucchini left out of two very full trucks.
The gross income was a definite record along with the weekend net income. If this could only last for 52 weekends a year !!!!!!
