New PA Preferred Grants Now Available for Pennsylvania Farmers and Agricultural Producers

Applications for up to $10,000 to reimburse promotional costs are due by May 16, 2026 and available to reimburse product promotions under the PA Preferred, PA Preferred Homegrown by Heroes®, or PA Preferred Organic™ programs.

“The blue and yellow PA Preferred checkmark tells shoppers they are buying quality products and using their buying power to support Pennsylvania farmers and make our economy stronger,” Secretary Redding said.

Using the PA Preferred trademark allows markets like Oak Grove Farms to offer a trusted brand that shows consumers that what they are buying was truly produced by Pennsylvania farmers, adhering to high standards in what they grow and sell.

Producers who apply for marketing grants to reimburse promotions using the PA Preferred logo may apply for an additional reimbursement of up to $10,000 for promotions using the PA Preferred Organic logo.
