Introduction to Agri-Tourism

In general, agri-tourism is the practice of attracting travelers or visitors to an area or areas used primarily for agricultural purposes. Very often, the idea of tourism stimulates images of mass-produced travel that attracts a large number of travelers. These images may discourage small business owners from considering tourism as an option for enhancing their agriculture revenues. However, agri-tourism can be viewed much like eco-tourism in that it is small-scale, low-impact, and, in most cases, education-focused.

Because the majority of farms in Virginia are operated by small landowners, opportunities for uniqueness and customization are limitless. Many agri-tourism activities require only a small farm crew in order to be successful. For instance, farm tours, bed and breakfasts, hay rides, petting zoos, and many other activities may be operated with little additional investment in labor. On the next page is a list of a few things that a farm operator may offer to tourists. The business operator is limited only by his or her own creativity.

Examples of agri-tourism activities.Overnight stays: Lodging and campingbed and breakfast, camp sites, youth camp, farm vacation (farm stays, feeding animals, picking fruit/vegetables), rental cabin for day trips/picnics, weddings, receptions, honeymoons. Special events and festivals: music festivals, haunted house, haunted hay ride, holiday celebrations, harvest festivals , off the farm , farmers' markets, vendor at state and county fairs, roadside produce stands.Recreation activities and events:fee fishing, skeet shooting, canoe livery, biking, corn maze, horseback riding, 3-D archery course fee hunting, bird watching, hiking, hang gliding, hot air balloon rides, rock climbing/rappelling , cross country skiing.Tourism-enhanced direct marketing:pick your own fruit/vegetables, sell canned foods on farm: apple butter, relishes, wine, honey, jams and jellies, sell herbal/organic products: candles, salves, tinctures, potpourri, wool, handmade sweaters. Youth and/or adult education: organized tours: school groups, senior groups, church groups, tour groups, agricultural education programs: how to grow apples, how to care for cattle, nature education programs: wildlife, trees, demonstrations: goat cheese making, wine making, honey making, apple butter making.
