Summary

The concept of family-oriented attractions is not limited to popular landmarks and can include small-scale and part-time farmers or residents with underutilized land looking for an alternative business venture. "Agritainment" is simply providing an opportunity for entertainment in an agricultural setting. Visitors or customers can provide a wide range of revenue-generating opportunities for farms. Agritainment creates the opportunity to entice visitors to your farm, provide education about agriculture, and increase your overall profits. Nationally more than 50,000 farms with farm receipts of nearly $1 billion reported at least a portion of their income as coming from agritainment.
