Santarsiero attends BrightFarms and McCaffrey’s groundbreaking event
LOWER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP, June 14 – State Rep. Steven Santarsiero attended the BrightFarms and McCaffrey’s groundbreaking event today at the historic Patterson Farm in Lower Makefield Township, Bucks County. The 50,000-square-foot greenhouse will grow about 500,000 pounds of produce per year for McCaffrey’s stores.
Santarsiero said he applauds McCaffrey’s and Lower Makefield Township for committing to such an innovative partnership.
“Consumers are demanding fresher, healthier, local food and this concept shortens the distance of fresh produce to consumer’s tables and supports the local economy," Santarsiero said. "I hope this partnership will encourage further local farming partnerships between businesses and local farms.”
