HONESDALE, PA – National Agriculture Day was observed this week, Tuesday March 24th, an opportunity for another little celebration at Wayne Memorial Hospital (WMH).

As part of the day’s recognition, the Wayne/Pike Farm Bureau presents a basket of local products and farm related gifts and goodies to the family of the first baby born at WMH’s New Beginnings Birthing Suites on National Ag Day. The precious little one is Josie Johnson, pictured with her parents Julia Pollan and Jordan Johnson of Hawley. It was a welcome surprise that included locally made maple syrup, honey, cheese and more, brought to them by Bonnie Latourette, representing the Wayne/Pike Farm Bureau.

National Ag Day is about recognizing and celebrating the contributions of agriculture to our everyday lives.  It’s a day to recognize America’s farming families, all their hard work, and the goods they produce.
