We're so proud of our former farmers market vendor and Board member Chy Kellogg and her non-profit, Cultured Ag for growing into the one of the best advocates for our most important industry, agriculture. It all starts with learning that first little bit about ag and then the passion for making sure the story is shared begins. This is the result of about 10 years of hard work. Can't wait to see what heights she soars to in the next 10 years!
