Willamette Valley Food Trail Application

A small group in our community is working on creating a new promotional brochure that will highlight culinary and agritourism businesses in and around Benton and Linn Counties. We are now taking applications to join the Mid-Willamette Valley Food Trail and would love for you to apply or send this along to others who might be interested in this opportunity.

The Food Trail is a self-guided journey to culinary and agricultural experiences in and around Benton and Linn Counties that include the following:

· Printed brochures with a detailed map that lists your business for visitors seeking unique culinary and agricultural experiences. This brochure will be coming out in March 2020.

· Self-guided itineraries that visitors can use for trip planning. Itineraries will be featured in the printed brochure and online.

· Marketing campaign focused on telling the Mid-Willamette Valley's culinary and agricultural story through videos showcasing local stories via social media.

After applying and receiving confirmation, participants of this program will receive:

· Printed maps for distribution

· Listing on the website and possibly the printed brochure

· Part of promotional campaigns

· Access to culinary/agritourism support and resources

We would love for you to participate! Here is a link to where you can learn more about the trail and complete the application https://www.visitcorvallis.com/foodtrail.  We will be taking applications until November 15, 2019, and anticipate decisions by early January. If your application is accepted, you will be required to attend a business training in January or February 2020, before the official launch of the trail in March 2020, to learn more about the program, marketing, and agritourism best practices. After completing this training, you will receive a free Agritourism Limited Liability sign (required for farms, ranches, and wineries per ORS 30.671 to 30.677).

Thank you for your time and consideration.
