The department will hold an Agriculture & Natural Resources Career Fair on Thursday, November 14, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Leesport Farmers Market.
The event isn’t just for farmers.

Officials say it is also an excellent occasion to establish new job opportunities, summer internships, job shadowing and volunteering opportunities.
