Exploring Agritourism for Your Farm: On-farm Insights Tour

Coordinated by the University of Tennessee Extension’s Center for Profitable Agriculture, participants will visit three Kentucky farms that will give insight into several aspects of agritourism, including value-added product marketing, on-farm retail, farm tours, special events and food service. Scheduled for September 17 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. CDT, the tour will visit Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese, Chaney’s Dairy Barn and Jackson’s Orchard.

 

Registration for the event is required as space is limited. With special emphasis on providing opportunities to dairy producers through funding available from the United States Department of Agriculture, dairy producers may contact Leffew for scholarship opportunities for registration and travel expenses.

 

The registration fee for non-dairy producers and other attendees is $45 per person and includes bus transportation from Cross Plains (Sumner County), Tennessee, and lunch and ice cream at Chaney’s Dairy Barn.
