Agricultural Eco-tourism in Wisconsin

 

What is Ag Eco-tourism

Agriculture and tourism are two of Wisconsin's most important industries. H&H looks to combine these two industries by increasing tourism in rural communities and farms. This can provide supplemental income for farmers through tours, education and training workshops, sale of farm products, crafts, and other recreational activities such as horseback riding.

 

Why Ag Eco-tourism

At the same time urban residents are becoming increasingly isolated from the countryside, the sustainability and local food movement continues to grow in size. People are starting to care more about their food and the environment and want to leave the city and experience the "country". Ag Eco-tourism can help educate urban tourists about Wisconsin agriculture and help people understand where their food comes from to develop a greater appreciation for it.

 

Examples

Examples of tours already done in Wisconsin include organic farms and sustainable agriculture, cheese factories, dairy farms, historical farm sites, and speciality farms such as strawberries, cranberries, and apples.
