Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig announced today that Choose Iowa, the state’s official brand and marketing initiative for Iowa grown, Iowa raised, and Iowa made food and ag products, has surpassed 100 members statewide and is continuing to build momentum. 

Overseen by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Choose Iowa connects consumers with the high-quality products grown, raised, and made by Iowa farmers and small businesses. Secretary Naig made the milestone announcement as part of Iowa Local Food Day, which is celebrated statewide on the fourth Wednesday of September each year. 

“Farmers, processors, retailers and many others from across the state are becoming Choose Iowa members to showcase that their products are from Iowa. With consumers increasingly looking to shop local and support Iowa farmers and businesses, the Choose Iowa logo can give them confidence that they are purchasing Iowa products and keeping their dollars in their community,” said Secretary Naig. “Now with over 100 members statewide and more joining every week, we are excited to see how Iowa’s signature brand will continue to grow – creating value and visibility for members and local options for consumers. If you are selling Iowa grown, Iowa raised, or Iowa made food and ag products, we invite you to become a Choose Iowa member and connect with our Choose Iowa team to get started.”
