Market Report: Farmers Struggle Through Heat and Drought
Heat and drought plagued a crowded farmers market with water shortages and rising prices. Vendors like Mike Gerhardt faced limited irrigation, cutting yields on apples while peaches and tomatoes held up in the heat. Amish suppliers from Rich Hill reported water stress as tomatoes sold out quickly and summer crowds dwindled yet the market stayed steady, with pumpkin and squash hoped for the fall. The market runs Wednesdays 4 to 6 pm and Saturdays 8 am to noon through mid October.
