SYRACUSE. N.Y. Some
200 delegates representing dairy
farmers from Lake Champlain to
the Chesapeake Bay will converge
on Coming, N.Y. on March 7-8
for the semi-annual Delegate
Meeting of Eastern Milk Produc
ers Cooperative.
Area Producers Sought
For New Farmers’
Market
(Lan
caster Co.) Farmers
looking for a new
opportunity to retail
their products this sea
son are invited to attend
an exploratory meeting
about a new producer
only farmers' market in
Norristown.
To make it easier for
farmers to attend, they
can plan on attending a
meeting at either the
Montgomery County
4-H Center on March
22 at 7, or the Goodville
Fire Company on Rt. 23
on March 23 at 7 p.m.
Selling fresh produce
and other farm products
directly to consumers at
a new market is a gol
den opportunity to
either expand your
existing sales or get
started in retail market
ing. New farmers’
markets in some of our
neighboring states has
proven to be a wonder
ful bonanza to both new
and existing farmers.
Our goal is to create
such a market here,
where farmers will reap
new financial benefits
from their efforts.
This meeting will
help set the direction of
such a market. Farmers
who raise fruits, veget
ables, herbs, eggs,
plants, honey, or any
other shelf-stable farm
product should attend.
They will hear a brief
overview of the oppor
tunity and have ample
time to discuss it.
Details such as rules,
products, and sale times
will be covered.
This marketing effort
is being sponsored by
the Pennsylvania Asso
ciation for Sustainable
Agriculture (PASA). If
you would like addi
tional information
about the meeting,
please feel free to con
tact us. Because we are
also farmers, the best
time to call is in the
evening.
Reservations will be
needed. Please call Paul
or Carol Hauser at (610)
