The ongoing Grow Together campaign, a partnership between GRCA and the Berks County Commissioners, focuses on promoting local agribusinesses, connecting those businesses to consumers and educating consumers on the wide variety of products locally available.
“Agriculture has always been a pillar of Berks County’s local economy and remains one of our top industries today,” said Berks County Commissioner Michael Rivera, who attended Monday night’s event
“Our Berks County farmers and producers continue to thrive and innovate, providing incredible food, crafts and goods that are created right here in our community. The County is committed to supporting our agriculture partners so that we can all continue to grow together for many years to come.”
