Cherryland Buys And Donates Two Pigs From Members At The Northwestern Michigan Fair

 In August, the co-op purchased two pigs at the Northwestern Michigan Fair 4-H livestock auction. Cherryland member Hattie Hays, daughter of Jennifer Hays, and Elizabeth Hagelstein, daughter of Brad and Andrea Hagelstein, sold their pigs to Cherryland. The pigs were donated to Goodwill’s Food Rescue and The Father Fred Foundation. Congrats to all on pigs well raised!
