Valley View Foundation

Valley View is a grassroots, nonprofit organization with a simple mission- Conserving Land, Preserving History and Sharing it with the Community. In 2002, it was all but a foregone conclusion that what was then 190-acres of farmland would be bulldozed for development. Valley View was created and changed the outcome. A group of passionate volunteers have had the vision and tenacity to raise over $4 million to purchase and permanently preserve one of the last family farms in eastern Cincinnati. We have transformed from a grassroots organization started in a Milford living room into the responsible stewards of 190 acres of beautiful open land along the East Fork River with a rich history dating back 12,000 years. This land includes rivers, streams, wooded hillsides, prairie, streamside and isolated wetlands on a compact, easily-walkable site in the heart of Milford.

Agriculture Committee – Valley View has a number of agricultural projects including a well-established community garden, bee hives, popcorn fields, a one acre hops field and a 2 acre plant rescue garden. The agriculture committee works on general garden maintenance, plant propagation, educational workshops, sourcing produce, and most importantly harvesting and donating fresh food to those in need. ​
