PDA Secretary Greig At Beaver Farmers' Market!

Celebrating 30 Years!
The Beaver County Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association continues to celebrate their 30th year of bringing strictly local produce to the Beaver County community.  Today, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Secretary George Greig visited the Beaver Farmers' Market with State Senator Elder Vogel, Jr..  The weather was beautiful and the market was packed!

The market has long been supported by the Beaver County Commissioners and of course is held in the Beaver County Courthouse parking lot.

Looking Over The Peppers!
 LFLF picked up potatoes, bell peppers for stuffing, sweet onions, apples, & sweetcorn.  Several of the farmers had raspberries, elderberries, blueberries, and peaches.  Garlic, hot peppers, pickling cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, green beans, wax beans, & dillweed could all be had if you plan on canning!
