Shelby County citizens working together to maintain our agriculture, green space and rural heritage.
Historically Shelby County, Kentucky has been one of our state’s leading agricultural producers.
Today, Shelby County is also known as “The American Saddlebred Capital of the World” – home to more breeders, trainers, exhibitors and fans of the American Saddlebred horse than anywhere else on the globe. Indeed, crops, livestock, and people alike thrive on the physical and emotional riches offered by our rolling meadows, spring-fed water sources, limestone-rich soil, and beautiful, sprawling vistas.
It is MORE’s goal to maintain a healthy balance of all of these things. We are a group of Shelby County farmers, horse people, homeowners, and local businesspeople who are concerned about the rapid growth Shelby County is experiencing, and its effect on Shelby County’s heritage, economy, and quality of life.

The MORE logo uses a seedling – a farming icon – to illustrate the delicate state of growth in our community.
Just as the seedling requires the right environment and management to thrive, so does our land –and the people who live on it.
