According to Virginia McGo
wan, roadside market hot line spe
cialist for the state Department of
Agriculture (PDA), the supply of
state-grown fruits and vegetables
has been very good and prices
steady. “It was a very good year.”
she said.
For most of the summer, a conti
nuous report of the condition and
price of state-raised fruits and veg
etables has been available through
the state’s roadside market
program.
The program is a weekly report
available to those with a home
computer (through the Penn State
University computer service Penn
Pages), and it is also available via
telephone on a pre-recorded ser
vice line, courtesy of the state agri
culture department.
For many years, the hotline has
continued to be a popular service.
McGowan reports that the prog
ram is widely used by producers,
retailers and consumers through
out the state to gauge current price
ranges on Pennsylvania-grown
fruits and vegetables.
According to hodine reports,
crops have increased in abun
dance, diversity and availability
for some time. Even with the wan
ning growing season, the number
of items at roadside stands is great.
“At times the quanities (of
items) get low, but I can’t imagine
anything being absent due to
weather or a poor growing sea
son,” McGowan said.
The recent Indian summer
weather may have contributed to
the extended season on some

“The list (reported on the road
side hotline) is still as big as ever.
The apples are expanding, other
items that have been available still
seem to continue. We still have
(sweet) com. You would think that
season is over,” McGowan said.
However, the availability of the
summer crops, such as fresh vine
ripened tomatoes, will not con
tinue for long.
Last Saturday, a heavy frost hit
many parts of the state, sending the
first killing shock through regions
with fields of temperature
sensitive plants.
More frost is expected this
weekend.
Some in the fruit and vegetable
business, such as Neil Courtney,
manager of Buffalo Produce auc
tion in Mifflinburg, say they sus
pect the last offerings of the sum
mer vegetables are likely to be
seen very soon, if not this coming
week.
“Saturday morning in Buffalo
came the first killing frost,” Court
ney said. “The tomato crop could
be over this weekend because of
forecasted frosts.”
However, for Buffalo
Produce and the suppliers and
buyers who use the facility the
end of the growing season will
close a year of good business,
according to Courtney.
“Every item of produce this
summer was in good supply. Qual
ity varied though due to wet weath
er conditions,” Courtney said.
“In general terms, prices have
followed supply,” he said.
At Buffalo, which has been in
operation for the past four years,
business has picked up.
“We increased growers by about
140 this year,”'Courtney said. “I
