HARRISBURG, PA, January 3, 2024 – Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding led a tour of must-see exhibits, new events, competitions — and (of course) food — to be featured during the 2024 PA Farm Show. The 2024 Farm Show theme, Connecting Our Communities, celebrates the best of Pennsylvania agriculture and what unites us across geography, identities, and cultures.
“Farm Show is Pennsylvania’s State Fair,” Secretary Redding said. “But it is so much more than exciting competitions, laughs, and great food. It is a chance to connect with the people who feed us and feed our economy every day, producing the goods and materials we rely on to enhance our quality of life and sustain our environment and communities. It is a chance to learn and a chance to explore what connects us all as Pennsylvanians.”
Tour stops included:
Goat Snuggling with hosts Justin and Lauren Steinmetz of Steinmetz Family Farm in Fleetwood, PA. The Main Hall exhibit offers guests the chance to snuggle up to a fluffy kid and experience a hot trend in agritourism while supporting a cause. The exhibit is one of a handful that charges a fee during Farm Show, including Fishin’ With Friends and the perennial favorite Carousel. Proceeds from the $5 per person fee for goat snuggling go to the Friends of Farm Show Foundation to support their educational mission.
