BB—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 12,1980
Rudy Grob managed the Pa. Vegetable Growers food stand during its first two
years at the Farm Show. Grob explained, Lancaster County vegetables are used
to prepare the soup. Beef broth and sauteed leeks are added to the soup before
serving. The proceeds of this stand are directed to Penn State's vegetable
research projects. The stand has succeeded in publicizing vegetables as a
Pennsylvania commodity. Business was booming as sales tripled last year’s
mark.
