"Downtown Allentown has become a culturally vibrant place to live, do business and visit in the Lehigh Valley. All around the outskirts of Allentown lie established family farms and new start-up farms utilizing the rich soil the region is known for," says Downtown Allentown Local Food Market Coordinator Steve Shelly of Gottschell Farm in a prepared statement. "Restaurants, food businesses and residents in the Lehigh Valley have been increasingly taking advantage of local farm products and soon Allentown residents will have access to fresh local food right near their doorstep."
