It was a privilege to host this conversation!

We were proud to partner with our neighbors at Kreider Farms to host a private event for U.S. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday at the Kreider Farms Cultural Center at Hoffer Farm.

The Secretary joined Ron Kreider, local agricultural leaders, and a group of Pleasant View residents as part of the Secretary’s “Take Back Your Health Tour.” Secretary Kennedy led a discussion on the impact of wholesome, real food on senior health and longevity.

It was a privilege to serve as the host venue for such a significant conversation. We built the Cultural Center for events like this that bring people together and foster deep community engagement! Thank you Kreider Farms and Secretary Kennedy for visiting our community!
