We start weekend #12, The Labor Day weekend and plan a really great weekend of fresh produce sales. The weather is forecast as being as nearly perfect as weather gets. They highs are going to be in the mid – 70’s and the overnight lows near 60. There is little to no forecast of rain, though the remaining part of Hurricane Earl is making its way up the coast toward New England tonight and tomorrow.
Bought in both Kutztown and Lancaster this week. Tough buying. The prevailing wisdom is that buyers from the “Jersey Shore” are buying where they can retail corn back out for $10.00 dozen. A seller told me today she sells corn this season for $1.00 ear and $10.00 dozen. She can buy wholesale higher than we can sell retail. That makes it tough on the local sellers.
We do have some corn and cantaloupes. If I could sell just corn and cantaloupes all season, that is all I would carry. We do better on those two items then anything else. Not even close third to these two items.
We have three variety of apples. Macintosh, Gala and Free Red. All are great apples and we will do well for the season of apples. We have squash, cucumber, corn, cantaloupes, peppers, tomatoes.
Many of these items are likely the last week we will have them. For those wanting farm fresh, in season produce, picked to fresh sale and NO chemicals or pesticides….. THIS IS THE WEEKEND.
Buy Fresh, Buy Local, Buy from US !!!!
