Is Agritourism right for your farming operation? NC State Extension-Tourism’s work with small farms across the state reveals that many small farmers report high interest in receiving visitors as a strategy to earn additional income, selling farm products to the visitors, enhancing customer relationships and even involving guests in some helpful farm work.

This virtual 4- part series will define Agritourism, help participants determine if their personality is suited for agritourism as well examine pricing, marketing, legal issues and developing a business plan.

Each 1.5 hour session will include presentations from extension agents and specialists, panel discussions including small business consultants, credit service consultants and farmers currently in the Agritourism business.
