Father’s Day is shaping up to be quiet for Central Pennsylvania farmers after a brutal April freeze wiped out fruit crops — cherries, strawberries, peaches — leaving orchards like Honey Bear in Lebanon County with empty trees and $200K in losses.

Despite state pleas for USDA aid, Lebanon County was left out — possibly due to its small number of orchards — while others received emergency loans. Farmers are asking listeners to buy local, even in small quan...
