Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about things made in Pennsylvania. It ain’t just about farmin’ stuff, though we got plenty of that, ya know, like corn and wheat and them cows and chickens. We got all sorts of stuff comin’ outta this state, and some of it, well, it’s pretty darn famous.
Pennsylvania Products: More Than Just Farms
Folks always talk about Pennsylvania farmin’, and sure, we got lots of that. We grow all kinds of things – corn, wheat, oats, barley, soybeans, even ‘taters and sweet ‘taters. And don’t forget the animals! Cows for milk and beef, hogs, sheep, chickens… We got milk, eggs, chickens runnin’ around everywhere! We even got them fancy fruits like peaches and grapes and cherries. And apples! Lots of apples. And mushrooms. Heck, we even grow Christmas trees, can ya believe it? But Pennsylvania ain’t just about farms, no sirree.

See? It ain’t just farms. We got all sorts of things bein’ made here. And that’s important, ya know? It brings money into the state, keeps folks workin’. This “manufacturin’”, that’s what they call it, it’s a big deal for Pennsylvania.
Mountains and More
Now, Pennsylvania, it’s a pretty place too. Got them mountains, the Appalachian Mountains, runnin’ right through the middle. And some other mountains too, Allegheny and Pocono, up in the northeast. Pretty to look at, they are. But I reckon them mountains ain’t got nothin’ to do with the stuff we make, but I thought I’d mention it anyway.
Clothes and Other Things
Now, you might not find a whole heap of clothes or dishes with “Made in PA” stamped on ’em, but that don’t mean we ain’t makin’ other things. There’s this place, Sunshine Adventures Apparel, they make clothes for folks who like to go hikinin’ and such. And there’s all sorts of other businesses, big and small, makin’ all kinds of stuff. The government, they got this Department thing, and they help out the farmers and the businesses, ya know, keep things runnin’ smooth.
Pennsylvania: A Maker State
So, next time you hear someone talkin’ about Pennsylvania, don’t just think about farms. Think about all the other stuff we make here too. From chocolate to motorcycles to guitars, Pennsylvania’s a maker state, that’s what it is. We got the stuff, and we are proud of it. You can find some of this Pennsylvania-made stuff at the Harrisburg airport, they got a store there. But you know, these products, they go all over the country, maybe even all over the world. That’s somethin’ to be proud of, I reckon.
Pennsylvania, it’s a good place to be, and it’s a good place to make things. That’s all there is to it. We work hard, and we make good stuff. And that’s somethin’ the whole world should know.
