October 18, 2022 - Sugarloaf, PA
Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding was joined by Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski to visit PA Preferred® member Maylath Farm and Orchard in Sugarloaf to invite Pennsylvanians to explore the commonwealth's farmers markets and farm destinations this fall and winter. The Luzerne County family farm is celebrating more than 15 years in the agritourism industry."Major global events, including the pandemic and conflict in Ukraine, have made Pennsylvanians intimately more aware of where their food comes from," said Redding. "Buying products with the blue and yellow PA Preferred checkmark means one simple thing - you're supporting Pennsylvania farmers and producers and keeping your dollars right here at home. You can be confident that what you're buying is grown, harvested, or produced in Pennsylvania."To support the increased demand for direct connection between farmers and consumers, today the department launched a website for the PA Preferred brand. At papreferred.com, Pennsylvanians can search for Pennsylvania products and connect with Pennsylvania farmers.Speakers Include:Chris Maylath, Owner of Maylath FarmsSecretary Russell ReddingAshley Fehr, Director, Bureau of Markets & Business DevelopmentRepresentative Eddie Day Pashinski
