Agriculture Secretary Goes Back to School to Inspire Students During Ag Literacy Week

Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding celebrated Ag Literacy Week, reading to second-graders at Avon Grove Charter School in Landenberg, Chester County and touring the school farm, which was funded by PA Farm Bill Farm to School Grants.

“Reading to kids feeds healthy, hungry minds,” Secretary Redding said. “We can’t feed our future together if we don’t feed those hungry young minds inspiration for who they can be tomorrow. Getting their hands in the soil of a garden, then eating fresh vegetables they helped to grow connects children with a future in the science of agriculture and food.”
