Agri-tourism Workshop

Jan. 28—The Business Side of Agritourism Workshop Lake Logan Episcopal Center, Waynesville

Agritourism is an exciting new enterprise. Increasingly, consumers are interested in visiting farms, learning about farm life and purchasing products directly from the farm. From hayrides, barnyard animals and corn mazes to pick-your-own and roadside stands featuring fresh fruit, vegetables, Christmas trees and value-added products to bird watching, fishing, hunting and camping—let your imagination take you and your customers to a field of dreams. To help you, NC Cooperative Extension Agri-cultural Agents have developed a one-day workshop for farmers interested in learning more about The Business Side of Agritourism. Registration fee for the workshop is $35. To register, contact the Mitchell County Extension Center by January 22 at 688-4811.
