Focus on Local goes Yokel!

Hear ye! Hear ye! Get your local news from the Tri County Record!  

Turn to page 17 - a special Agri-Business Issue published this week. There you will find my 1st Focus on Local project spotlighting B & H Organic Produce (Hartz Natural Food Store)!! 

I learned some great facts while reading the special section.

Did you know that Pennsylvania's number one industry is agriculture with $5.9 billion in sales?!  I was pretty amazed by the statistics in print.  I did not know that farming contributes an estimated $3.25 billion to our local economy (farm sales, employment, taxes, service industries). Staggering numbers to think about. . .

I'm doing a happy dance! 

The Tri County used 2 of my photos and just about my entire write up!  You can imagine how humbled, shocked, excited, nervous, and completely thrilled I am to be published in my local newspaper ~ more reasons to celebrate local economies!! 

Be sure to pick up your copy of this week's Tri County Record!

All the best,
