Agritourism

From U-Picks and corn mazes to pumpkin patches and elegant evenings, agritourism marries agriculture and tourism to provide enjoyable farm experiences to visitors. Agritourism services provide an interesting way for farm owners and operators to add value to their acreage, increase cash flow throughout the year, and meet interesting people. No matter what kind of agritourism operation you have, three important elements should be present:

  • Something interesting to see.
  • Something interesting to do.
  • Something interesting to purchase.

To learn more about how you can develop your idea, meet state requirements, develop a clientele base and protect your operation, visit our Direct Marketing and Planning and Management pages, and check out our Agritourism playlist on YouTube.
