The Oregon Country Trails is "a grassroots organization of rugged, rural, ranchers, farmers, and recreation specialists who have opened their back porches, meadows, and crafts to the public". It's a rural revitalization program.
Over 250 rural businesses, entrepreneurs, tours and adventures make up the Oregon Country Trails, Oregon's only branded country trails. Currently there are 15 trails, such as: Slow Food Good Earth, Covered Bridge Country Trail, and Pioneer Country Trail. Trails can be added by application to the Oregon Country Trails organization from at least 10 people willing to work together and showcase their area and experiences in a positive way. They call this "Trail in a Box".
Trail events include, for example, the Stillpoint Farm Women's Festival 2010, a festival of music, healing arts, creative arts, ceremony, workshops, food and produce. Their poster states that the festival is a benefit to 13 ingenious grandmothers.
