🐖 October is Pork Month!
This month, we’re celebrating Pennsylvania’s hardworking pork producers and the important role they play in our agricultural industry and local economy. From our family farms to our dinner tables, Pennsylvania’s pork industry helps feed our communities and supports countless jobs across the Commonwealth.
