Agritourism

Agritourism describes the act of visiting a working farm or any agricultural, horticultural or agribusiness operation to enjoy, be educated or be involved in activities.

Examples of agritourism are...

  • farm tours for families and school children,
  • day camps,
  • hands-on chores,
  • self-harvesting of produce,
  • hay or sleigh rides, and
  • overnight stays in a bed and breakfast.

Some people become involved in agritourism as a way of supplementing their income. Others desire an opportunity to educate the public and introduce people to farming.  March 2008... Agritourism
