Agrotourism / Ecotourism
Agro/ecotourism can be an important alternative enterprise for small farmers. Such an enterprise typically involves charging fees for access to your property for wildlife-related recreational activities such as hiking, canoeing, camping, and photography, or from the sale of items associated with these activities such as maps, food, canoe rentals, etc.
