AgriAdvocates
AgriAdvocates's goal is to provide an online portal to educate consumers on how to support local agriculture, protect Utah’s wildlife and become more self-sufficient.
We want Utahns to understand the biggest issues facing our farmers and ranchers and learn what they can do to help, whether that’s writing to their congressman or participating in their local CSA.
