Johnstown, Pa — Many fruits and vegetables are at their peak this time of the year and are now ready to be harvested.

6 News spoke with officials from two different Cambria county produce markets who say regardless of some dry spells and other unforeseeable circumstances — this harvest season has been good so far this year.

“We do get into the harvest this time of the year,” says Joel Weaver, a partner of Grandmas Produce in Windber.

Weaver tells Channel 6 he is part of the fifth generation working on the farm - where they grow strawberries, raspberries, peppers and other produce they are harvesting this season.

“We start harvest here in may and we continue through this time of the year,” Weaver added.

This, a similar routine for many farmers and markets in the area — like Adams Country Market in Nanty Glo.

“I think everyone feels they have strong crops,” said Patrick Macey, a partner of Adams Country Market.

Macey says this season the crops have grown stronger, faster and earlier this year.

“Like our fall apples are already 99 cents a pound, we already have 6 kinds," added Macey. "Normally, we might have one by now.”

Weaver says this time of harvest season is when they begin canning products for when harvest season is long gone.

“We sold the most corn we ever sold, and it was the cheapest it ever was, but it came hard, it came strong, it came fast and you know if you didn’t can it you’re not going to have it,” said Macey.

Weaver also added, “Were doing well, its give and take every year.”

The two officials tell 6 News harvest is typically good up until the first week of October — that's when in years past we get our first frost.
