Get your thinking caps on! We’ve put together thoughts and questions about Agritourism that will both challenge you and serve as a powerful addition to your business planning toolkits. 

In 2019, the USDA published an extensive report on the state of, and opportunities around, the growth in agritourism across the U.S. More recently in the 2022 USLGA Harvest Survey, questions related to agritourism initiated a first peek into prevalence and visitor impact of U.S. lavender farms open to the public.

Using information from this video will help you identify what you'll need for proper planning. Mike and Sarah have more than 45 years of experience growing and selling lavender. They don’t do it the same way, so you’ll get differing perspectives in this video.
