Abstract
Agritourism continues to expand across the country as farmers seek to increase profitability on their farms. From pick-your-own operations to farm based activity operations, entrepreneurs are expanding the scope of their farms. Now that Extension is well versed in agritourism, the need is for ways to help these farm entrepreneurs adopt new ideas or expand their current operations. Barrett and Leeds will share their experiences with agritourism farms across the country and in Canada. They will share activities adopted by farmers, detailed budgets for certain activities, an insurance factsheet, marketing materials and other materials which Extension Professionals can use to assist clientele.
