Agritourism is the crossroads of tourism and agriculture: when the public visits working farms, ranches or wineries to buy products, enjoy entertainment, participate in activities, shop in a country store, or eat a locally sourced meal. Picking your own apples, pumpkins, and sunflowers in a beautiful orchard is just one of the fun and fabulous activities waiting for you at Minard's Family Farm.

Agritourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in the eco-tourism industry. There is nothing new about this form of travel, which involves visiting a working farm or other agriculture-oriented property and perhaps even sampling the day-to-day lifestyle of the people who tend the crops or livestock there. Tourists have been staying at Italian vineyards and Rocky Mountain ranches for decades. The idea of relaxing in a beautiful setting or sampling the adventurous Old West lifestyle is certainly still part of the attraction of agritourism. On some farms that welcome tourists, however, the goal is less about providing a unique vacation and more about fostering a deeper understanding of the farming process through education and hands-on experience.

Escape from the stress of traffic jams, office cubicles and carpooling! Minard's Family Farm will teach your children (and you!) how food is grown. Enjoy a drive to the country and spending the day together, especially in these digital days.
