BLOOMSBURG – PA Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding toured OHF Orchards in Bloomsburg to see how state investments are helping the veteran-run business grow their bottom line and feed their community. The PA Preferred® fruit business received over $99,000 in a 2025 PA Fresh Food Financing Initiative grant, along with more than $125,000 in combined support from other initiatives that are helping them expand cold storage, boost profits, and meet local demand for their apples. Redding announced that applications are now open for the second round of grants and up to $2 million will be available. Farmers can learn more about eligibility for the Fresh Food Financing Initiative, PA Agricultural Innovation Grants and other funding and support for PA’s agricultural industry at the website: pa.gov/agriculture.
