AgriMissouri's Finest Recognized at Governor's
Conference
(JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.)--Retailers, chefs, foodservice providers and
media from across the state were honored with AgriMissouri
Excellence Awards yesterday evening at the Missouri Governor's
Conference on Agriculture at Tan-Tar-A Resort, Osage Beach. These
awards recognize individuals and organizations whose promotion of
Missouri grown or processed products has been exemplary.
"The Excellence Awards are our way of recognizing above-and-beyond
promotion of Missouri products," said Peter Hofherr, director of the
Missouri Department of Agriculture (MDA). "It's a win-win scenario -
producers get credit for their fantastic products and businesses get
to bring fresh, wholesome and local goods to their tables and
shelves."
Winners in the Retail Excellence Category included: a gold award and
Retailer of the Year recognition for Hen House Markets; silver
awards
for Summer Fresh Supermarkets and Woods Supermarkets; and a bronze
award for Straubs.
Media Excellence awards were presented to: Missouri Ruralist, Sauce
Magazine, and The Produce News at the gold level; silver level
awards
went to Columbia Business Times and St. Joseph News Press; and the
bronze level was awarded to The Holden Image and Southwest Region
News Service.
Chef Excellence awards were made to: Chef James Clary of Clary's
Restaurant, Springfield, at the gold level; silver award to Chef
DeWayne Schaff of Celebrations Restaurant, Cape Girardeau; and
bronze
awards to Chef Stephen Morgan of Pat's Bar and Grill, St. Louis, and
Chef Marge Radtke, the Vintage Restaurant at Stone Hill Winery,
Hermann.
Foodservice awardees included: Parkade Elementary, Columbia; South
Elementary, Jefferson City; Jefferson City High School, Jefferson
City; and Columbia Public Schools, Columbia. The Foodservice
Director
Excellence award was presented to Deanna House of the Waynesville
School District.
The AgriMissouri Program is designed to lead the promotion of
Missouri
agricultural products and destinations to consumers, retailers,
chefs
and the media through the use of the AgriMissouri brand. For more
