Tom Sereduk plans to sell five times the volume of last year with 30 different varieties of flowers.
Busy Bee Farm will sell raw and low temperature infused honeys, various types of fresh and dried lavender and a plethora of herb.
It's hard to think about maple syrup in warmer weather, but why not? Spring Hill Farm from Lackawanna will have it.
Another new vendor will be Happy Cat Organics, Berks County, with heirloom vegetables and sells dozens of varieties of heirloom fruit and vegetable seeds.
African greens grown from seeds that come directly from Sierra Leone will be featured by Yoder Heirlooms of Lancaster County, along with other pesticide-free heirloom produce.
