THE ALTOONA MIRROR REPORTS TODAY THAT BARRONERS FARM MARKET, IN BUSINESS SINCE 1950 IN BLAIR COUNTY HAS BEEN PUT UP FOR SALE. THE BUSINESS STARTED BY BROTHERS RICHARD AND BILL BARRONER, HAS BEEN A STAPLE SINCE THAT TIME. BARRONERS IS FAMOUS FOR ITS SWEET CORN, SOLD EACH AND EVERY SUMMERTIME. CURRENT OWNERS BOB AND KELLY BARRONER SAY THAT DOWNSIZING, LABOR AND PRODUCTION COSTS AND FLOODING ISSUES ARE THE MAIN REASONS THAT THEY HAVE DECIDED TO PUT THE FARM MARKET UP FOR SALE. THERE WILL BE SWEET CORN AVAILABLE THIS YEAR AS WELL, BUT ONLY ON A LIMITED BASIS.
