Fields of Gold

Fields of Gold is a comprehensive agritourism initiative in the Shenandoah Valley aimed at collectively marketing the region's diverse agritourism sites and activities. Established in 2010 through the collaboration of local planners, economic development, tourism officials, farmers, and agricultural organizations, this program was created to establish Shenandoah Valley as a premier agritourism destination.

Our mission is to promote the Shenandoah Valley as a leading agritourism destination, ensuring job creation and retention on farms while expanding tourism-related employment off the farms. The entrepreneurial spirit is nurtured through the provision of business tools, resources, and educational workshops for budding and existing agricultural businesses.

The program focuses not only on marketing the Fields of Gold Farm Trail but also supports the start-up and growth of businesses related to agriculture. By offering educational workshops and business resources to its members, the initiative aims to foster a thriving agritourism community in the Shenandoah Valley.
