“Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize and celebrate the recipients of this year's Pennsylvania Dairy Innovator Award, Stephanie and Hayley Painter, the visionary founders of Painterland Sisters. Growing up on their family's fourth-generation farm in Tioga County, Pennsylvania, Stephanie and Hayley were deeply rooted in the traditions of dairy farming. Their upbringing instilled in them a profound appreciation for the land, animals, and the farming community. This foundation inspired their mission to bridge the gap between consumers and the origins of their food, leading to the creation of the Painterland Sisters brand. In 2018, they embarked on a journey to transform their vision into reality. By March 2022, their organic skyr yogurt hit the shelves and, today, can now be found in all 50 States, with a production of approximately 270,000 units weekly. This remarkable growth is a testament to their dedication and entrepreneurial spirit. The Pennsylvania Dairy Innovator Award recognizes an individual or business entity that has provided tremendous innovation to progress Pennsylvania's dairy industry towards a brighter future either by advancing the marketplace or creating new opportunities for innovation on the dairy farm. This dynamic duo is a shining example of just that. The Painterland Sisters source milk from their farm and partner with 25 other Pennsylvania dairy farms.…”
