Agritourism is defined as: The act of visiting a working farm or an agricultural, horticultural, or agri-business operation for the purpose of enjoyment, education or active involvement in the activities of the farm or operation. Agritourism also provides alternative revenue streams to farming operations as well as economic impact to communities through tourism. ATPI has a Board of Directors and officers elected annually by the membership.
