130+ Wineries making 1.25 million gallons of wine 
425+ Grape Growers tending 1,700 acres of grapes 
300+ Farmers’ s Markets supporting thousands of farmers 

Those are some impressive numbers, right? Supporting local industries has a huge impact that is more far reaching than most of us even realize. Did you know the Missouri wine industry supports nearly 15,000 full-time equivalent jobs? How about that it has a $1.76 billion impact on the state every year? 

Buying products from local purveyors supports people right here in your community. Whether you’re getting produce at one of Missouri’s awesome farmers’ markets, or picking up a couple bottles of wine from a Show Me State winery, every local product purchased makes a difference. 

Next time you’re shopping at your neighborhood retailer or dining at an area restaurant, look for local. If they aren’t selling or serving your favorite local wines, ask for them by name. Help us spread the word about the delicious, award-winning wines being crafted in your own backyard. 

Put your money where your mouth lives. Support local!
