| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Designating the month of August 2014 as “Pennsylvania Produce Month” |
| I plan to introduce a resolution designating August 2014 as “Pennsylvania Produce Month.” The Commonwealth’s vegetable growers continue to be national leaders in the production and processing of many fruits and vegetables that feed our families. The positive impact fruits and vegetables have on our health are well known, and the positive impact fruits and vegetable growers have on our economy is worth considering. There are approximately 50,000 acres producing 280,000 tons of vegetables a year in Pennsylvania, pumping close to $155 million of revenue into the Commonwealth’s economy. Produce grown in Pennsylvania is available in abundant supply at community farmers’ markets, roadside stands, and supermarket throughout the Commonwealth during the month of August. Please join me in sponsoring this important resolution. If you have any questions contact Gail Pakosky via email gpakosky@pahousegop.com or 783-8573. |
