Agritourism

Agritourism is a type of experiential and sustainable travel that involves visiting farms, ranches, vineyards, or other agricultural sites to learn about farming life and participate in related activities.

Examples of agritourism include feeding animals, taking wine tours, staying at a farm inn, or attending harvest festivals. These experiences are popular among families, school groups, and travelers seeking authentic local culture.

For farmers and rural communities, agritourism offers a way to earn extra income and educate visitors about their work. It also helps promote responsible tourism by spreading visitor traffic beyond traditional tourist areas.

Travel businesses often include agritourism in destination packages, especially in regions known for wine, coffee, cheese, or unique crops. It’s also a growing trend in ecotourism and slow travel.
