Agritourism in Virginia

Agritourism combines agricultural production with farm entertainment and/or education to attract visitors to the farm. Usually pursued to diversify farm income, it also stimulates rural tourism. A growing industry, the Census of Agriculture definition includes recreational services like hayrides, farm or wine tours, U-pick operations, corn mazes, and harvest festivals. It also can allow the renting of farmland for hunting, fishing, and other rural activities.
