Our Mission
The Hill & Valley Exploration Tour – a cooperative venture of rural farms, businesses, historic sites, educational institutes, and artist studios – strives to connect rural venues with consumers, cooperatively advertise for economic development, assist young farmers, and provide hands on education about our vital agricultural community. The Hill & Valley Exploration Tour is an economic revitalization effort through the creation of a direct marketing system for rural products and food.
“And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.”
