Mississippi River Hills Association

Working together to help promote product uniqueness based on the European model of “terroir” or otherwise known as the “taste of place.” This has been done with wines in the United States for generations; MRHA is stepping up the connection with all products directly affected by the soils of the region, thus including food producers. The eco-region of the Mississippi River Hills nestles within the 6 counties of Jefferson, St. Francois, Sainte Genevieve, Perry, Cape Girardeau, and Scott, along the Southeast area of Missouri. Stakeholder groups that support these efforts include artisans, hospitality and tourism, retailers promoting local products, and local government. MRHA staff can help you connect with agritourism within the region. We also host Table to Farm dinners during the growing season.
