Here's an interesting article from GrowingProduce.com that covers the Agritourism Industry. In case you didn't know, the Agritourism Industry is farmers opening up their land to visitors for other operations besides farming. This can be a simple as u-pick or corn mazes and as involved as farm weddings and corporate retreats. Many growers have told me the same thing that the article reports: "Farmers can no longer concentrate on only growing crops; they also have to think about how to grow their revenues"
The fact that Agritourism is growing in Florida is good news and should mean opportunity for some savvy Agripreneurs in the rural areas of Florida.
