Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Hayley and Stephanie Painter of Tioga County. The Painter sisters are fourth-generation farmers who started an organic skyr yogurt brand to preserve their family's Pennsylvania farm in 2020.

Painterland Sisters Yogurt now sells across nearly 2,000 locations at grocery stores, including Giant, Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Gristedes.

They also sell the cream left over when making yogurt to make ice cream.

Earlier this year, Painterland Sisters was named on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Food and Drink List. The Painter sisters, like many younger- generation farmers, were looking for a way to carry on their family's agricultural legacy while making it their own.

Their family's farm is home to 400 cows who graze all over the property. The Painter sisters' dedication and passion for the family farm and business have led to tremendous success.

I congratulate the Painter sisters on this magnificent accomplishment. Keep making delicious and nutritious yogurt.

Farmers feed. Nutrition matters. Whole milk heals.
