AgriMissouri connects Missouri residents with a variety of wares, including locally-sourced foods, wine, home décor and agritourism experiences from local farms via an online shopping cart.
Christine Tew of the Missouri Department of Agriculture explains, "The program was established more than 20 years ago and has seen outstanding growth in 2011...from about 350 members in January to more than 1,350 now."
