ROCHESTER, Pa. (AP) – Ten years of planning, ten years of want ads and hope and worry ended one day in October when Don Kretschmann realized it wasn t going to work; no one was going to step in.
This was going to be the last harvest at Kretschmann Family Organic Farm.
Come spring, the Beaver County farm will be idle for the first time since he first turned the soil there in the spring of 1979. Mr. Kretschmann is retiring after failing to find someone to take over his 80-acre operation. I just thought somebody would come, the 71-year-old self-taught farmer said. Nothing worked out there unless some miracle happens.

Green Grocer, the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank’s mobile farmers market, has launched a delivery service.
Normally, the mobile farmers market makes 17 stops in 17 neighborhoods throughout the month. During the winter, however, these markets are often canceled because of cold and snowy weather.
So, from now through March, Green Grocer staff members are running a pilot delivery service to bring fresh produce to customers.
The food can be delivered to a home or public meeting place within designated ZIP codes.
Food prices are competitive, according to the food bank, and oftentimes less than chain grocery stores.
There is no delivery fee.
