Central Pa. fruit farmers cope with damaged crops from April freeze

Central Pennsylvania fruit farmers, including Hollabaugh Bros. and Cherry Hill Orchards, are coping with significant crop losses from a late April freeze. The freeze caused total or partial losses for apricots, plums, apples, and peaches, with estimated state-wide specialty crop losses at $200 million. Farmers are relying on alternative revenue streams like retail sales, events, and pick-your-own activities while awaiting potential government aid.
