Agritourism brings urban residents to
farming areas and provides these consumers with opportunities to buy local
direct from the source. The buy local philosophy provides better, fresher
products, allows producers to get a fair price for what they sell and is
environmentally friendly as it reduces production miles.
Agritourism describes
the act of visiting a working farm or any agricultural, horticultural or
agribusiness operation to enjoy, be educated or be involved in activities. Some
local examples of agritourism are farm tours for families and school children,
self-harvesting of produce, hay or sleigh rides, fall fairs and overnight stays
in a farm based bed and breakfast. When you explore, experience and enjoy what
Bruce County offers from the farm, it is an experience that you are sure to
enjoy. Buy Local! Buy Fresh! The Foodlink Grey Bruce network is a directory to
source some new local farmers, locate one of the farmers markets or find a
restaurant that serves locally grown cuisine. Also, check out our local food listings at: http://www.foodlinkgreybruce.com/
Happy Harvesting!
