A36-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 31,1990
(Continued from Page A2l)
We need producers to guarantee
there will be plenty of produce at
the auction,” Weaver said.
According to Weaver there will
be tomatoes, cantalopes, broccoli,
peppers, and cauliflower at the
auction as well. “We will have
most things although no one has
said they will be growing egg
plant yet.”
One couple that hopes to both
buy and sell at the auction is Steve
and Gayle Ganser. The Gansers
own a farm market on Rte. 100 in
Trexlertown and supply produce
to 15 restaurants in the area. They
also grow 68 different things on
their small vegetable farm near
Kutztown. “We’re looking to sell
extra vegetables at the auction
when we have too many come in
at the same time for us to sell at
the market. We have also put in
extra beans, watermelon, toma
toes, broccoli, squash and cucum
bers specifically to sell through
the auction. We’re hoping that
some nongrowers will get
involved with a market so close to
home,” Ganser said.
The Gansers plan on buying
vegetables they just aren’t grow
ing enough of to fill the market’s

demand. “We always need sweet
com and strawberries,” Ganser
said.
“We hope buyers are patient
enough to let the auction get estab
lished. It will take a while to get
going,” his wife added.
The Gansers added a few tips
for first time growers. “Veget
ables take a lot of labor, hand
labor. It is the thing that dictates
how much you can do. Also start
with a major vegetable because
you know there will be a market,”
Ganser said.
The Gansers choices for a first
time grower included tomatoes,
cantaloupe, sweet corn, and
broccoli,
Weaver cautioned growers to
listen to the buyers. “Buyers are
looking for quality. Produce
should be picked a few hours
before market.”
With that in mind Weaver said
the auction has great potential.
“We will be selling to wholesalers
not retailers. We hope to serve as a
bridge between growers and
buyers.”
Burkholder added that the Dr ? Cow 4 Years & Under
group had visited a number of n CKomaim Renegade Sony
„ .■ . . , . Queens Manor, Schmuck Farm, Kennaim
other aucuons and hoped to use Flim
the experience to improve the Lockway Helen V Star
Kutztown operation. “We will be c - Richard & Georgianna Locke
supplying boxes with our logo Tobyler Man Cosmo Delect
printed on it We also hope to D Over
speed up the auction process by Globe Run D „ lene
moving the produce to the auc- John Fost „ m
tioneer rather than moving people Lockway ivy Plato
to the produce. We think that will c. Richard & Georgianna Locke
save a lot of time.”
The auction is scheduled to
open in the middle of May. "We
plan on being open Tuesdays and
Thursdays. At certain times of the
season, say when the cantaloupes
come in, we may be open 5 or 6
days. We don’t anticipate having
100 much of any crop unless
everything comes in at once. We
do recommend spreading things
out with continual plantings.”
The auction will close down
around Thanksgiving depending
on when the killing frost occurs.
For growers or buyers needing
directions or more information on
the auction, contact James Weaver
