AgriTourism

Splendor Valley Farms intends to be the premier Agricultural Tourism ("AgriTourism") operation in Summit County. We define AgriTourism as:

Supporting and enhancing Summit County's family farms and historical ways of farming by maintaining viable small-scale/historic agricultural operations and their essential rural setting in Summit County
Providing the County's culture to the broader stakeholders in the area, including CSAs, private chefs, restaurants, residents and visitors (tourists)
Providing education, work opportunities and food services
Offering access to the fabulous year-round activities Summit County has to offer from winter activities, including skiing, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing, to summer activities in the nearby Uinta National Forest, including hiking, camping and fishing

We expect to see purchasers of our products and other products, other providers, customers and students availing themselves of the agricultural education courses we will offer. We expect to host attendees of invitation-only activities focusing on sustainable farming in general and on Summit County in particular.
