We are excited to announce an opportunity to visit and learn from three agritourism operations. The second, Exploring Agritourism for Your Farm: On-farm Insights, will take place on September 17, 2026, from 8 am to 6 pm CDT. This tour will involve three stops in Kentucky that will give insight into several aspects of agritourism, including value-added product marketing, on-farm retail, farm tours, special events, and food service.
