Take survey

Northwest Missouri has a diverse landscape, well-suited to many types of horticulture. From the Missouri River flood plain, to the Green Hills of Grundy and Mercer Counties, you will find almost any type of setting for your horticultural enterprise. We have orchards, vineyards, commercial vegetable production, and nursery operations.

Marketing opportunities are good, since our region is within a few hours of Kansas City.

Northwest Missouri Horticulture Media

Horticulturalist Tim Baker has produced many news releases and articles for local newspapers over the years. They contain relevant information that will be useful to the people of northwest Missouri for years to come. These articles can be viewed via the News and Publications links.
