These vendors will donate a percentage of sale proceeds to benefit the conservation work of the Missouri Prairie Foundation.
“We are happy to partner with the Missouri Prairie Foundation as they expand our knowledge on all things nature and how to preserve and protect it,” said Mother’s Brewing Company Production/Sales Coordinator Amir Abdanan.
