ABOUT US

Fostering Connection


Rural Route is a quarterly publication that is like a trusted friend. It arrives in the mailbox each season with themes providing different perspectives from local cultures and adventures around the world, inspiration for life and home, creative insights from the arts, and the stories behind the foods we enjoy every day. Each of these themes has a deeper topic woven just beneath the surface to educate, engage, and move to action. It is positive but real. Thought provoking yet encouraging.


In a world that is increasingly polarized and lonely, Rural Route seeks to foster communities where people feel understood and connected. One issue at a time.
