Agricultural tourism or agri-tourism is right here in the Irish Hills Area. Agri-tourists can choose from a wide range of activities that include picking fruits and vegetables, riding horses, tasting honey, agricultural shows, learning about wine and cheesemaking, or shopping in farm gift shops and farm stands for local and regional produce or hand-crafted gifts.

People have become more interested in how their food is produced. They want to meet farmers and processers and talk with them about what goes into food production. For many people who visit farms, especially children, the visit marks the first time they see the source of their food, be it a dairy cow, an ear of corn growing in the field, or an apple they can pick right off the tree.
