Agritourism

Agritourism connects visitors to agriculture through authentic, on-farm experiences. It allows farmers and landowners to diversify their income by offering recreational, educational or tourism-based activities directly on their property.

Examples of agritourism activities may include farm stays, farm gate sales, pick-your-own produce, workshops, tours, small events and nature-based experiences.

Warrumbungle Shire is well-positioned to grow agritourism offerings, building on our strong agricultural base, natural landscapes and visitor appeal. Agritourism can support local jobs, strengthen regional resilience and contribute to a more diverse rural economy.
