• Tuesday, April 29, 2025, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

The Regional Agritourism Networking Session connects agritourism operators in Finger Lakes Region with tourism organizations and agencies.

Agritourism operators, agricultural service providers, and tourism promotion agencies are invited to join this educational event and help strengthen agritourism in the FLR by supporting farmers who want to grow on-farm experiences for the public.

Farmers engaged in agritourism either as their primary business or as an add-on to their existing operation or those who want to start are encouraged to participate. They will be able to connect with expert agritourism professionals, local and state tourism promotional agencies, and hear about the support and resources that are available to them.

There will be plenty of time for networking and connecting with fellow agritourism operators. Participants are encouraged to bring their marketing materials to exchange with others.
