Agritourism
Agricultural tourism - commonly referred to as agritourism - focuses on activities that attract customers to the farm which will lead to farm product sales.
There are many activities that are considered agritourism including u-pick, hayrides, petting zoo, educational tours, farm stay, workshops, and more.
