Agritourism, a business venture on a working farm, ranch or agricultural enterprise, is growing in popularity throughout the United States. Agritourism blends entertainment, education, and tourism together to provide a fun, exciting, and memorable get-away for school trips and family outings. This Website provides educational resources to assist new and existing entrepreneurs in developing, expanding, and improving their agritourism ventures.
The LSU AgCenter is proud to partner with the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry in a Louisiana agritourism initiative to provide economic development and cultural opportunities for our farms, ranches, forests and working lands.
