DERRY TOWNSHIP FARMER HELPING TO GUIDE FOOD21

A Derry Township farmer is now helping to guide Food21, a nonprofit that focuses on economic opportunity and nutrition access.  Rick Ebert is now a member of the board of directors for the organization.  Food21 worked with local farmers in Westmoreland County to launch Allegheny Mountain Malt, locally-produced grains that are offered to beer makers.  Ebert runs Blairsville’s Ebert Family Farms, an operation that supplied milk to Turner Dairy for over 40 years.
