HARRISBURG, Pa. — With exactly 100 days to go before the Pennsylvania Farm Show, officials are drumming up excitement by revealing this year's theme.
2025's theme was announced as Powering Pennsylvania!
Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding and Secretary of Community and Economic Development Rick Siger made the announcement at Lancaster County's Oregon Dairy Farmstead.
“Agriculture powers Pennsylvania,” said Secretary Redding. “We hope you’ll join us in January to kick off your 2025 with people like Oregon Dairy’s Hurst and Forry families, who power our families with nutritious food every day. Thousands of farm families join them in powering our economy, supporting 593,000 jobs and pouring more than $132.5 billion into our communities every year; and increasingly producing green energy that literally keeps lights on and businesses running.”
“Powering Pennsylvania is the perfect theme for the 2025 Farm Show, as agriculture and businesses like Oregon Dairy are truly the backbone of the Commonwealth’s economy,” said DCED Secretary Siger. “That’s why agriculture is one of the five key industries we’re focusing on in Pennsylvania’s economic development strategy. The Shapiro Administration knows it’s one of our greatest strengths, and we’re doubling down to support the growth and continued innovation of this vital industry.”
The Pennsylvania Farm Show is a community staple that brings half a million people to Harrisburg each year. It has something for everyone and serves as eight days of agriculture-centric family fun with an educational twist.
Organizers say the event is a tourism powerhouse with an estimated $40 million-plus annual economic impact, supporting more than 5,600 jobs and generating more than $100,000 in local taxes.
One of the main attractions every year is the giant butter sculpture, which is usually unveiled shortly before the start of the show. Here is 2023's reveal:
The 2025 Pennsylvania Farm Show will run from Jan. 4-11 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center, located at 2300 N. Cameron St. in Harrisburg.
