A Note From Organizers

Dear farmers and supporters, 

We want to thank the many farmers who have shared agritourism questions and  ideas with the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry over the past decade. Your input has helped us to create agritourism resources, which we hope will offer invaluable connections for you. 

These upcoming webinars are part of the Agritourism Toolkit. They build on the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry's recent agrtourism courses, and other other resources such as tourism, biosecurity and marketing presentations, online networking meetups for farmers, small businesses, makers, and tourism partners, a library of ready-to-use signs and helpful contacts, and the Agritourism Summit held at the Maine Agricultural Trades Show each January.

Maine's small businesses benefit from collaboration and relationships and we welcome your questions or ideas about agritourism. You may email us your ideas and input.
