The definition of agritourism is different from country, state, and county. Agritourism focuses on activities that attract customers to the farm which will lead to farm product sales. There are many activities that are considered agritourism including u-pick, hayrides, petting zoo, educational tours, farm stay, workshops, and more.
The New York State Agriculture and Markets define “agricultural tourism” as “activities conducted by a farmer on-farm for the enjoyment and/or education of the public, which primarily promote the sale, marketing, production, harvesting or use of the products of the farm and enhance the public's understanding and awareness of farming and farm life” in the NYS Safety and Agritourism Act.
