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.
