Wolf Administration Tours Veteran-Owned Farms Supported by State's $10 Million Fresh Food Financing Initiative

Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding and Anthony J. Carrelli, Pennsylvania's adjutant general and head of the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, toured U.S. Navy Veteran James Cornwell's Nine Pines Farm in York, and U.S. Marine Corps Veteran Daniel Hubbard's Hubbard Family Ranch in Gardners, Adams County on Friday, November 6, to highlight state support of veterans and engender consumer support for veteran-owned farms. Both farms received grants in September through the state's $10 million Fresh Food Financing Initiative COVID-19 Relief Fund to expand access to fresh food in low-income communities during the pandemic.
