Lehigh Valley
Farms Directory
ALLENTOWN (Lehigh Co.)—
A new farm market directory from
Lehigh County Extension brings
the best of the countryside to area
residents this season. Fresh from
Lehigh Valley Farms is a free list
ing of 167 area fanners with fruits,
vegetables, plants, animal pro
ducts and other local specialties
for direct sale to consumers.
The listing includes the produc
er’s name, address and phone, the
products, when they’re generally
available, and a map showing gen
eral locations.
“Food shoppers will be
impressed, even surprised, at the
variety and quality of area-grown
products,” according to Jeff Pat
ton, extension marketing agent in
Allentown. Among the surprises
besides taste, freshness, value and
variety is a recently appreciated
virtue of farm foods: minimal
packaging. “There’s hardly any
waste when a product is handled
once from the farm to the market,
and again to the consumer’s kitch
en,” observes Patton.
Consumers can get a free copy
of Fresh from Lehigh Valley
Farms by contacting the Lehigh
County Extension Office on Dor
ney Park Road, phone number
(215) 391-9840. Similar guides
for farms in Berks, Bucks, and
Montgomery counties are also
available.
