Introduction
The word ‘agri-tourism’ is a word coined by the agricultural (farming) industry to define what takes place when someone experiences the happenings of a particular farm by way of visiting and possibly participating in the workings of that farm. It’s a form of educational entertainment.
There’s something else you need to know about agri-tourism, though...well, actually two something’s:
1) agri-tourism can work for almost every farm in some way, shape or form.
2) agri-tourism is virtually limitless but requires you to think outside the box and beyond the normal mindset and perceptions of what farming is.
Oh, yes, and one more thing...agri-tourism can be the way in which you financially enhance your farm’s profitability.
