The U.S. Department of Agriculture is awarding six grants to agriculture producers in rural Pennsylvania. The grant awards total $894,290, with $250,000 coming to North Mountain Pastures LLC in Newport.
“Ag producers are vital to the system that helps feed Pennsylvanians. Any time we can support them is a success for us as an agency,” said USDA Rural Development Director Bob Morgan.
North Mountain Pastures is owned and operated by Brooks Miller and his wife, Anna Santini. The farm has one full-time employee, Noah Erwin, who serves as farm manager. The farm prides itself on providing pasture-raised, grass-fed meat to customers. It was founded in 2009.
