Agritourism has emerged as a significant trend that connects urban populations with agricultural experiences while providing farmers with additional revenue streams.
Agritourism encompasses farm visits, u-pick operations, farm stays, educational tours, corn mazes, and seasonal festivals. These activities give visitors hands-on experiences with farming while supporting local agriculture.
Tree farms are natural fits for agritourism. Christmas tree farms have long welcomed visitors, and year-round nurseries can offer classes, tours, and seasonal events that build community relationships and brand loyalty.
