Shapiro Administration Highlights PA Farm Bill Grants that Grow Small Businesses and Expand Pennsylvania Capacity to Meet Demand for Locally-Produced Food

Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding visited Route 174 Roadside Market in Cumberland County, one of 54 small Pennsylvania businesses that are better able to meet their customers' demand for locally-produced meat, thanks to support from the Department of Agriculture's Very Small Meat and Poultry Processor Reimbursement Grant Program. The grants reimburse costs associated with opening or expanding operations or meeting federal food safety requirements. Sec. Redding also invited applicants for 2025-26 grants.

"Small meat processors are essential partners for Pennsylvania farmers and critical to strong local economies," said Secretary Redding. "The Shapiro Administration is helping these businesses get stuff done so they can grow, create jobs, and give customers what they want and farmers more opportunities to save transportation costs and sell their products close to home. When we invest in small businesses, we strengthen rural communities and build a more resilient food supply chain for Pennsylvania."

Route 174 Roadside Market, part of a fourth-generation family farm that received a $100,000 grant in 2022 through the program. With support from the grant, the Paulus family added a butchering room to their farm market to process their pasture-raised beef and poultry, expand cold storage and adding equipment that allows them to sell directly to consumers, and better meet growing demand for locally produced meat.
