Exciting News from Evolution of the Heartland!

You may have noticed it’s been a little quieter here lately, but we’ve been hard at work cultivating something amazing. Since launching Evolution of the Heartland in 2022, we’ve seen incredible interest in rural life, agriculture, and ag-tourism. However, we realized that not everyone can attend a one-day immersive tour. So, we decided it was time to expand our approach!

We’re thrilled to introduce brand-new promotional packages designed to:
1. Jointly market Iowa’s rural communities and businesses.
2. Gain statewide and national exposure for rural events, businesses, and people.
3. Change perceptions of rural Iowa and agriculture.
4. Create awareness of the exceptional quality of life in rural Iowa for those looking to visit, live, or work here.
5. Showcase unique agricultural and entrepreneurial career opportunities.

Our mission is to make it easier than ever for visitors to create their own customized rural experiences while supporting the amazing events already happening—like town celebrations, county fairs, and festivals. By adding immersive agricultural tours to these events, we can attract new visitors and help educate locals about the agricultural treasures in their own backyards.

We’re also doubling down on digital storytelling—working to amplify these experiences online and encouraging attendees and influencers to share their stories, helping us reach even more people across the state, the country, and beyond!

Check out our website to get involved: www.evolutionoftheheartland.com

Stay tuned as we continue to evolve and grow! Let us know in the comments—what rural Iowa communities, attractions, or agricultural businesses should we highlight in 2025?👇
