| In case you missed it, be sure to check out our new directory |
On Giving Tuesday, we ran a fundraising campaign to make much-needed updates to our online directory. Thanks to all of our generous donors and supporters, we met our goal of $10,000 to complete this work and we are excited to share this new directory with you!
Search our newly improved online directory for farms, restaurants and retailers selling Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW, Certified Non-GMO by AGW, Salmon Welfare Certified by AGW and Certified Grassfed by AGW products—from meat, dairy, eggs and fiber to handmade beauty products and sustainably produced confectionery treats.
We have lots of eyes on the directory so we’re asking for certified producers to please review your online listings to be sure they are accurate. You can make updates here. |

As our business has grown over the years, our Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW certification has been an important part of our direct marketing plan. We’re proud to celebrate a decade of certification with our family and our customers.” Read more here — |
