LEWISBURG, Pa. It was a chilly day Wednesday at the Lewisburg Farmers Market. Despite 70-degree weather earlier this week, parts of our area are now under a freeze warning. Temperatures are expected to dip below freezing overnight. That s one of the worst things a fruit farmer could hear in late April. The ideal weather is definitely not what we re going to be experiencing tonight, that s for sure, Michael Stahl of Dries Orchard said.
