The 2024 PA Farm Show may be a month away, but you’ll have several opportunities for a tasty preview.

The PA Dairymen’s Association has announced four opportunities to sample their brand-new salted caramel milkshake, in partnership with the Giant Co.

“The 2024 PA Farm Show will be sweetened by the addition of our new, delicious salted caramel milkshake in celebration of the Giant Company’s 100th anniversary,” said Dave Smith, executive director of the association.

The first pop-up event takes place on Friday at the Camp Hill Giant, 3301 Trindle Rd., starting at 10:30 a.m. with remarks by state Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding, along with a milkshake toast. Milkshakes will be available from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with the first 100 milkshakes given out for free.

Subsequent pop-up are as follows, with free milkshakes also available to the first 100 people:

“We are grateful to wonderful businesses like Giant who invest in our communities, in our dairy industry and in our nutritious, wholesome foods and beverages we produce on our farms for families,” Smith said.  “We are thrilled to celebrate with milkshake fans starting at our pre-Farm Show pop-ups.”
