Are you interested in adding agritourism activities on your farm, but not sure where to start? Join us in Lee County for an afternoon all about agritourism! We'll have both NC State Tourism Extension’s Ann Savage and NC Farm School’s Derek Washburn with us to walk through what agritourism can be on your farm and how to get started.


Who this workshop is for:

This workshop is designed for farmers interested in learning about agritourism, exploring its feasibility for their farm, and getting guidance on steps for getting started.


What we will cover in this workshop:
  • Introduction to agritourism and example activities
  • Guidance on how to assess if agritourism might be a good fit for your farm business
  • Developing and sustaining a business concept for agritourism activities
  • Identifying business resources and addressing risks
  • How to launch and grow your business through customer experiences and marketing
You’ll also walk away with a list of next steps to start or expand your agritourism operation!

Come ready to share your agritourism aspirations! We look forward to helping you explore whether agritourism is right for you!
