From the Heart of Washington is a public awareness campaign
designed to increase consumer demand for Washington state
food and agricultural products. It is facilitated by the Washington
State Department of Agriculture, and advised by a diverse
board whose membership consists of governmental, food industry,
and small farm interests statewide.
By partnering with local growers, retailers, consumers,
and allied industries, From the Heart of Washington serves
as the touchstone to hundreds of the best locally-grown and
made products.
From the Heart of Washington has gained recognition and support
since commencing in 2001. It continues efforts to heighten
awareness of and increase dependency upon the Washington state
agricultural industry. Such accomplishments positively impact
the statešs economy, and help improve our statešs quality
of life and environment.
The program also helps retailers promote Washington grown
products to consumers through signage and branding programs,
which make Washington products easier for consumers to identify
at the point of purchase.
You can make a difference in the future of Washingtonšs agriculture
and food processing industry by buying and promoting Washington
products whenever possible.
