Pa. farms don't need added regulation

Tioga Hunting Preserve is an alternative-farming operation in rural Pennsylvania and operates under the regulations of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.

At Tioga, and the other alternative-farming operations like Tioga, these farms give people the chance to harvest an animal on a farming operation for their personal consumption, compared with buying meat over the counter at a supermarket.

The animals at Tioga are raised on hundreds of acres of farmland or at other alternative farming operations in Pennsylvania or across the country.

The farmers who own these alternative farming operations pay taxes on thousands of acres of farmland across the country and should have the rights to harvest their animals as they see fit.
