we help small towns and small businesses grow
We’re going after our dreams to bring life back to our small towns and see our rural communities prosper and thrive.
— come join us —
BRING RURAL REVIVAL TO YOUR TOWN!
building small town success stories
Within each of our small towns and rural communities is our very own field of dreams, where we believe ‘if you build it, they will come.’
If you’re here, you clearly have a dream inside of you just waiting to get out into the world.
There is a business in you that only you can build. A town only your community can save. No one else can tell its story or share its unique perspective. There is a dream waiting to happen that the world needs.
We’ll help you build your small town success story!
make this your most profitable year yet!
As we all know, there are no shortcuts in small business. But there is tremendous value in being able to learn from those who have gone before you and learned the hard way — so you don’t have to.
Our goal is to share strategies that have proven success, so you can get further ahead, faster in your small business.
it’s time for your small town to thrive!

WILL THEY STAY OR WILL THEY GO?
raised to stay
It’s time to change the mindset that our kids have to leave rural America to thrive or to live out their dreams. We happen to believe rural America is the BEST place they can do that!
We’re challenging small towns to create opportunities and shift the mindset of our kids so they choose to stay in our rural communities instead of leave.

We're the ones who believe country life really is the best life, and we showcase the hardworking people who are finding creative ways to do life in rural communities all across America.
We believe this generation is hungry to return to their roots. What if there was a way for our small-town communities to start growing again instead of slowly fading away? What if there was a way to bring people back to their hometowns to raise their families? What if this generation could be known for sparking a rural revival across America? Instead of saying "what if," we're saying "let's do it!"
SAVING OUR SMALL TOWNS,
one dream at a time.
By combining creative thinking, technology, and some good old-fashioned hard work, revival in our small towns and rural communities is not only possible, it's happening. From farming and agriculture to amazing restaurants, vintage markets, and even tech start-ups, people are thinking outside the box, taking risks, and bringing life back to the hometowns and small communities we love.
Our hope is this will be a place where you can be inspired to do the same. So jump in, hear the stories of people who are doing life in rural America and loving it, and start dreaming. And then let us know what you're up to so we can share your story, too!
