In the Mississippi River Hills of Southeastern Missouri

The Mississippi River Hills Association (MRHA) seeks to develop, connect, and market products that are produced within the region.
Together we seek to strengthen our regional economy while retaining all that is good, for the benefit of future generations.
We also encourage visitors to tour the region, people interested in learning more about rural America - the unique history of the region,
the cultural flavors, the river and the great outdoors, and how great fresh foods can taste.

Farm Fantastic!

Yes, we took a little nap there for a while, attempting to get the new web site online. But that doesn't mean that things have nothing has been happening in the Mississippi River Hills, far from it! The MRHA will hold a 'Farm Fantastic' fundraiser dinner on September 12 at the Eckenfels farm in Ste. Genevieve County. The event will be from 5:00 pm until "the cows come home." The dinner will be prepared by professional chefs using locally grown and raised food products, and served in a picturesque outdoor setting.

The Eckenfels Farm is a Missouri Century Farm and was recently awarded the 2009 Regional Environmental Stewardship Award for their to protect and improve the environment in their cattle operation.

Tickets are $50 per person, and seating is limited. Contact Lisa Palmer at: (573) 883-3548, email: Coordinator@MississippiRiverHills.org
