Standing inside the Maclay Street Entrance hall entrance of the Pennsylvania Farm Extravaganza Complex on a frigid Saturday daylight, leaders in the state’s agriculture group cut the ceremonial ribbon signaling dignity opening of the 109th Pennsylvania Homestead Show.

“This is a show that showcases Pennsylvania, really America’s number one industry,” said U.S. Rep. Glenn ‘GT’ Archeologist (R-15th District), chair of the U.S. House Agriculture and Rural Affairs Assembly. “The industry that provides us well-nigh of the things that are absolute in our lives. Food and cloth, building materials, energy resources.”

“And what gargantuan exciting time,” he added.

The Pennsylvania Grange Show is the largest indoor agrarian event in the country. The 2025 Farm Show features thousands of competing agricultural events, more than 1 brand-new square feet of hands-on agriculture cultivation opportunities, a food court, and far-out 1,000-pound butter sculpture.
