The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture recently launched a website for the PA Preferred brand, accessible at http://www.papreferred.com. The website allows people to search for Pennsylvania products and connect with farmers.

Items with the blue and yellow PA Preferred checkmark are grown, harvested, or produced in Pennsylvania, and buying these products means consumers are supporting Pennsylvania farmers and producers and keeping their dollars local. The Department of Agriculture encourages Pennsylvania residents to look for these products while exploring the commonwealth's farmers markets and farm destinations this fall and winter.
