Choose Iowa is a program within the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship dedicated to identifying and promoting food, beverage, and agricultural products that are grown, raised, or made in Iowa. The program’s core mission is to connect consumers to these products and expand markets for Iowa farmers.
Maria and Regan will be joining us to share how Choose Iowa supports Iowa farms and food businesses through branding, marketing, grant opportunities and more. They’ll also highlight how businesses can get involved—and how communities like yours can help promote the Choose Iowa brand to celebrate what makes Iowa agriculture special.
They also have a slideshow we are planning to show during our presentation as well!
