EDUCATION
Education is central to our agritourism mission because it deepens visitors’ understanding of sustainable farming, local food systems, and environmental stewardship.
By connecting people directly with knowledgeable farmers, ag educators and environmental experts, we inspire appreciation for agriculture’s role in daily life and empower individuals to make informed choices that support local communities and the environment.
Through hands-on learning and interactive experiences, we aim to foster a lasting connection between visitors and the land.
ARTS AND CULTURE
We work with state arts agencies, artisan cooperatives, and nonprofits to bring both local and cross-cultural perspectives to our events.
Arts and culture are taking a central role in agritourism as farms merge creative experiences with traditional agricultural environments.
From outdoor art installations and live performances to artisan workshops and cultural festivals, farms are welcoming the arts in new and exciting ways.
