Mary Maranville created Heritage Farmland Touring Company. She is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG). She is also the daughter of a dairy farmer from Upstate New York. SEEAG helps young students understand the origins of their food through education programs and farm tours.

When SEEAG (http://www.seeag.org/) first began in 2008, Maranville led all the farm tours. "I miss being an educational tour guide, especially when the subject is so close to my heart," says Maranville. "Our tour of the Cotswold Region will be educational and fun as we visit centuries-old farms and villages." Part of the proceeds from the tour will benefit SEEAG's youth education programs.
