A new report shows that Pennsylvania leads the way in farm to consumer sales.
Farms in the Keystone State were near the top in the nation with $600 million direct-market sales in Pennsylvania according to new USDA data.
Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding says these new numbers show that Pennsylvanians are invested in their own farms.
“We’re seeing more direct food sales, and more opportunities for that direct connection from those who are producing to those who are consuming,” Redding said. “That was brought home to us in a very significant way during the pandemic. People want to know who’s feeding us.”
California is currently the nationwide leader in direct-market sales.
