PYFA Objectives

At its strategic planning session in September, PYFA leadership discussed the current stated objectives of the organization and evaluated them by dividing them into four categories. As they sought to streamline the objectives and make them relevant, they created objectives below which will be presented to the Board at its October meeting for consideration and discussion. We welcome input from members.

Summer Board Meeting/Picnic

The PYFA Board gathered July 16th at the home of President Jason Rentzel for the summer board meeting and a delicious picnic lunch.  The day was perfect and Tammy and Jason prepared a variety of meats, accompanied by dishes brought by all those attending.  Much discussion was held on the 2019 National Young Farmers Winter Institute to be held in Pennsylvania, tentatively in Lancaster.  If you wish to volunteer for a committee email Denise Sanner at sannerfarm@aol.com.
