The whole cost: Challenges of adding agritourism to your business model. <\/strong>Agritourism can be a great tool to diversify and grow revenue streams, to create community space, and to break up some of the isolation of farming. However, the challenges of agritourism enterprises don\u2019t often get as much attention as they deserve. In this session, Mariam will discuss those challenges, how to overcome them, and how to know when agritourism isn\u2019t right for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Top Tips More Producers Should Know for Success in Agritourism |<\/strong>\u00a0In this session, Dr. Entsminger will present key insights for agritourism enterprise success and agritourism\u2019s role in market strategy, drawn from emerging research and Cooperative Extension\u2019s body of expertise. Included are new insights from a national survey of agritourism operations and a facilitated conversation to stimulate ideas on how agritourism and recreation activities can be part of growing new revenue streams and building a brand for Maine agricultural operations.<\/p>\n
