Just a few generations ago, most
families were reared on the farm. This is not the case now but many people
yearn to spend time on the farm themselves and also share the experience
with their children. As such, Agri-Tourism or sharing Agriculture with
people for the consumer’s enjoyment and for the farm family’s revenue and
profit has become a mainstream of activity in rural areas across America.
