Harrisburg, PA – June 27, 2025 – Senator Judy Schwank today announced that Clover Farms Dairy has been awarded a $500,000 Infrastructure Grant through the Shapiro Administration’s Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure (RFSI) program. The funding will support the expansion of refrigeration and product development at the dairy, helping to grow milk processing capacity and sourcing from more than 10 regional dairy producers.
“I couldn’t be more pleased to learn that Clover Farms Dairy has received a $500,000 grant through the Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure (RFSI) program,” said Senator Schwank.
The RFSI program is designed to strengthen Pennsylvania’s food supply chain by investing in infrastructure that supports local, seasonal, and fresh food production and distribution. The RFSI offers dollar-for-dollar matching grants to food producers and processors across the Commonwealth.
The $24 million program is supporting 77 farms and food manufacturers throughout Pennsylvania. The grant awarded to Clover Farms Dairy is one of several Infrastructure Grants aimed at funding systemic improvements and creating long-term growth opportunities in agriculture.
“Clover Farms is our hometown dairy in Berks County which receives locally produced milk from over 160 dairy farmers in our region,” said Schwank. “My staff and I have been meeting with the Clover Farms management over the past year to assist them in funding the upgrades needed in their Muhlenberg Township plant so they can modernize and streamline production. This grant will jumpstart those improvements.”
