UC’s Small Farm Program, with the help of a grant from Western Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education Professional Development Program for California, will hold a daylong professional development workshop on November 4, 2011 in Stockton, California.
To date, California agritourism development has been primarily organized at the county and regional levels. Several states have organized statewide agritourism associations. The workshop “will help explore the relationships and benefits involved in both statewide agritourism programs and local/regional agritourism programs”.
The workshop is specifically designed for agritourism operators; agricultural, tourism and community development professionals; county staff and officials; and others involved in California agritourism.
For more information, please contact Penny Leff of UC’s Small Farm Program.
Those interested in visiting a farm or ranch may find a wide assortment of places to visit at the UC California Agritourisim Directory website.
Agricultural operators can list their agritourism offerings on the same site at no cost.
