Agritourism
Agritourism is growing in popularity. Whether you’re engaging the public with activities on your farm or visiting a farm with your kids, it’s important to know the Do’s and Dont’s for interacting with agriculture safely. Check out the National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety (NCCRAHS) website for integrating safety into farm visits. Find safety information for hayrides, corn mazes, animals, inflatables and more. Check out a few of their resources below or visit their website: www.safeagritoursim.org
