What is Agritourism?

z

Agritourism is a style of vacation that normally takes

place on a farm or ranch. This may include the chance to

help with farming and ranching tasks during the visit.

From Wikipedia

z

An Agritourism farm is any land based farm or business

that is open to the public. These specialized agritourism

destinations generally offer things to see, things to do,

and produce or gifts to buy, and are open to the public

at least some parts of the year.
