We are currently in a time of restructuring and transition as we look to find how we can best fit into and serve the agricultural ecosystem of Central PA. While we are not currently distributing, we have maintained our network and are looking to create and foster relationships throughout the Commonwealth.

Centre County farms grow enough food to feed the county's entire population, but only 1% of the food grown here is consumed here. By concentrating on shortening these supply chains, we will be able to provide more Centre County residents with fresher, more healthful food. Furthermore, we must work to provide greater food access to the surrounding rural areas that are rapidly becoming more dependent on national chains to feed their residents." ~ Travis Lesser, Founder of Appalachian Food Works
