Cokeburg resident secures victories once more in vegetable growing competitions held at the Washington County fair

At the 2021 Washington County Fair in Cokeburg, Pennsylvania, local resident Justin Lint made a splash by winning first place in all seven categories he entered[1]. His winning entries included a 95.3-pound watermelon, onions, green and red tomatoes, peppers, carrots, and eggplants[1].

Lint's secret to growing these massive vegetables lies in the quality and care of the soil[1][5]. Inspired by his grandfather's traditional growing methods, Lint emphasises experimenting and maintaining excellent soil health to achieve extraordinary vegetable growth[1][5].

This year's fair wasn't Lint's first foray into the competition. In fact, he has won multiple awards for his vegetable growing skills at the Washington County Fair in the past[6]. Lint and his wife Michelle, who also grew the award-winning vegetables, have a history of producing large, award-winning vegetables[7].

When asked about his approach, Lint mentioned that he only decided to enter the contests last minute and enjoys sharing his knowledge and passion for growing giant vegetables[1]. His fun and community-oriented attitude is evident in his success at the fair, making him a beloved figure in the Washington County growing community.
