Pennsylvania Farm Show

Pennsylvania Farm Show

Now in its 109th year, the Pennsylvania Farm Show celebrates the state’s agriculture industry through showcasing nearly 4,000 animals, over 12,000 competitive events and exhibits, 245 commercial exhibits and hundreds of educational and entertaining events. The 2025 Farm Show will feature such fan favorites as the 1,000-pound butter sculpture, the famous Farm Show Food Court, youth showmanship, sheep-shearing competitions and cooking demonstrations at the PA Preferred^® Culinary Connection. Visitors can explore the more than 1 million
square feet of hands-on agricultural education opportunities and engage with the people who power Pennsylvania’s agriculture industry.

This year’s theme, Powering Pennsylvania, was announced in September by Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding during an appearance at Oregon Dairy. “Agriculture powers Pennsylvania,” said Secretary Redding. “We hope you’ll join us in January to kick off your 2025 with people like Oregon Dairy’s Hurst and Forry families, who power our families with nutritious food every day. Thousands of farm families join them in powering our economy, supporting 593,000 jobs and pouring more than $132.5 billion into our communities every year, and increasingly producing green energy that literally keeps lights on and businesses running. The Shapiro Administration is proud to support Pennsylvania agriculture and the innovative Pennsylvanians who power our daily lives and make us a national leader.”

The setting for the announcement was a Lancaster County success story. Since 1952, Oregon Dairy has grown from a mom-and-pop dairy farm to an innovative dairy destination that includes a full-service supermarket, bakery and restaurant. It also provides community education and entertainment programs and is a tourism hub that fosters an understanding of sustainable food production. It’s also a modern-day working farm that is powered by solar panels, recycling and a manure digester that turns waste into energy.
