As part of National Ag Literacy Week, Chester County Commissioner Kathi Cozzone visited the West Chester Area Daycare Center to talk to kindergarteners about the important role farms play in our daily lives.

“Agriculture provides almost everything we eat, use, and wear,” said Cozzone. “It’s Chester County’s No. 1 industry, and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to help children in our community learn more about where our food comes from.

“My fellow Commissioners and I appreciate all of the farmers and agriculture professionals in Chester County who work hard to provide it for us.”
