Two Autumn weekends to explore farm traditions. Area farms, rural artist studios, and rural businesses open their doors to welcome you. Experience farm living first hand! Occurring on the last two full weekends in September.

The Hill and Valley Exploration Tour: A celebration of rural living is a unique opportunity to explore the vibrant and resilient small farm economy of Northern Sauk and Richland Counties! Due to weather challenges we are moving the 5th Annual Hill and Valley Exploration Tour to the last two full weekends in September.

On the tour you can easily find local food and art producers, learn about the changing face of rural America, dine at a true Farm‐to‐Fork country eatery, find hidden gems, and visit a historic Folk Art site. Don’t forget to bring your cooler to hold all your farm fresh purchases, an extra sweater, and the mud boots; this is country fun — rain or shine!
