Local Farm on National TV

Nick Mobilia, who, along with his wife Kathy, owns Arrowhead Wine Cellars in North East, is among the farmers featured in a Pennsylvania-Farm-Bureau-produced television program that looks into the growth of agri-tourism enterprises on Pennsylvania farms. It will be broadcast nationally tonight (Oct. 27) on RFD-TV at 6:30 p.m.

The show, titled "Agri-tourism: Growing Fun and Making Friends on the Farm," relates how farm families are diversifying their operations by introducing their acres and animals to the public.

The 30-minute program also addresses how agri-tourism enterprises offer a fun-filled experience to families who want to get closer to the countryside, while generating new income to help farm families to prosper and preserve their agricultural heritage.

RFD-TV is a 24-hour television network with nearly 40 million subscribers, whose programming is targeted at viewers interested in rural America and agriculture. The RFD-TV channel is carried by the DISH Network (Channel 231), DIRECTV (Channel 345), Verizon FiOS TV (247), Time Warner (229) and other cable systems, including some Comcast, Mediacom, Brighthouse, Cox, Charter, Bresnan and more than 600 independent rural cable systems across the United States.

Congrats to the Mobilias on being featured and making Erie proud!
