Travel By Design: Agritourism

“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.”

– Miriam Beard

Though it may not seem like a vacation, working on a farm, ranch or village and all that entails puts one into the realm of agritourism.  From picking fruits and vegetables to herding livestock, agritourism is a global activity that sustains rural communities through visitation. Experiencing yourself is much better than reading in books or hearing stories from folks.

Many parts of the world now rely on agritourism to broaden and sustain their communities by promoting activities in rural areas. We all love our food and it’s a great experience to know and see how it is produced and at times enjoy authentic culinary experiences.
