Pennsylvania Farm Show

Each year the Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers Association erects a display of fresh vegetables at the Pennsylvania Farm Show to showcase the variety of vegetable crops grown in the Commonwealth. 

In addition, the Association operates a food booth with the help of 120 volunteers to sell:

--   7,900 bowls of vegetable soup, chicken corn soup broccoli/cheese soup and chili or about 575 gallons;

--   250 cases of cauliflower, broccoli, onions and  zucchini  for batter dipped vegetables;

--  3,000 blooming onions;

--  10,800 strawberry drinks;

--   4,000 pounds of broccoli/cauliflower salad and vegetable pasta salad; and

--  2,100 dill pickles.

This food booth not only encourages vegetable and berry consumption but also provides funds for the Association to fund vegetable and small fruit research projects.
