AgriTourism
Splendor Valley Farms Utah is a fantastic place to enjoy a wide variety of outdoor fun all year round! Think skiing, mountain biking, snowmobiling, four-wheeling, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, backcountry skiing, ice fishing, hiking in the National Forest, rafting, canyoneering, visiting National Parks, and horseback riding.
The farm has plenty of parking for cars and trailers, so you can bring all your gear. Plus, the game room is a great spot for kids to have a blast and make some awesome family memories. You’ll also find some cool local spots like a lively arts scene, a petting zoo right next door, the Oakley Rodeo (where you might want to snag tickets early), and Kamas Pioneer Day.
Splendor Valley Farms Utah is aiming to be the best Agricultural Tourism spot in Summit County. We call AgriTourism:
· Helping and boosting Summit County’s family farms and old-school farming methods by keeping small-scale and historic farms running strong and their beautiful rural setting in Summit County.
· Sharing the County’s culture with everyone in the area, including resorts, restaurants, private chefs, CSAs, residents, and visitors (tourists).
· Giving out education, job chances, and food services.
· Letting you explore all the amazing activities Summit County has to offer, from winter fun like skiing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing, to summer adventures in the nearby Uinta National Forest, like hiking, camping, and fishing.
We’re excited to see our products and other products, along with other providers, customers, and students, taking advantage of the agricultural education courses we’ll be offering. We’re also planning to host attendees of special, invite-only events that focus on sustainable farming, both in general and specifically in Summit County. Splendor Valley Farms, which is dedicated to operating, agroecology research, and education in Utah, will be putting a strong emphasis on AgriTourism in Summit County.
