Made in PA. It makes a Difference

This year throughout the Annual Farm Show, held January 5-12 2013 you'll see the Slogan- "Made in PA. It Makes a Difference." This year the country's largest agricultural expo pays tribute the Pennsylvania's largest industry, agriculture and the products made and grown here. As the food industry turns toward local, organic and green products, meaning items purchased less than 100 miles from its serving point, supporting the agricultural industry becomes more essential to that industries survival.

Agritourism is a realitively new buzz word and many of our B&B's are a fine example of how agritourism works best. Trying booking a stay at a Farm based B&B in Pennsyvlania. Many of these Inns have programs to allow families to either take part or watch the farming industry in action. From helping to collect eggs from the henhouse for breakfast, to milking goats to feeding pigs, PA's B&B have opened their homes and farms so you might experience a slice of farm life while getting a great nights sleep.

While our own Pheasant Field B&B and Fallen Tree Farm B&B are great examples of agritourism, more hands on activities can be found by checking out the B&B's involved with the PA Farm Stay Association www.pafarmstay.com

If you are coming to town to experience the PA Farm Show make it a Better Way To Stay by staying in a local Bed and Breakfast!http://www.farmshow.state.pa.us/
