This class is for you!

• Local agritourism operators will share their own experiences and will be part of a supportive network of advisors as class participants plan and start new enterprises.
• Participants will learn from experts in business planning, regulatory compliance, risk management, hospitality and cost-effective marketing, including social media.
• The hands-on, interactive activities will guide participants as they assess their own farms or ranches for agritourism potential and start their own business, risk management and marketing plans.
