We hope this email finds you safe and warm through the winter weather that has reached so many over the last few weeks. This week, we’re sharing a few reminders and resources, plus a request for photos from AGW-certified producers along with the latest news from the AGW farmer network. Thank you for reading.

For AGW-Certified Producers: Call for Photos

Want to get some wider exposure? Our Marketing team is fine-tuning our communications plan for the year ahead and would like to refresh our photo files. If you have any new or favorite photos of your animals, farms and ranches, your work on the farm, or your AGW-certified products, please pass those along to info or text to Callie Casteel, AGW’s Marketing Services Coordinator at (931) 548-0664.

Will you also be attending? Or do you have products that you’d like for us to promote on your behalf? Would you like to introduce our team to any brands or buyers that may also be there? We’d love to hear from you and collaborate on ideas, for this event or the many others we’ll be attending in 2024. Just reach out!
