Project Overview
Agri-tourism operators in Iowa are facing ongoing concerns such as labor and liability issues. This project created resource materials for the producer to utilize as they develop the agri-tourism operation and has provided a networking mechanism of agri-tourism operators as well as agritourism and tourism service providers, that was leveraged by collaboration and cooperation of the Iowa Agritourism Working Group resulting in leveraging additional funding for ongoing project development.
This project helped provide for a statewide conference and workshops that were attended by 86 operators. A new website was created to help promote Iowa Agritourism and nearly 200 farms are now registered on the www.visistiowafarms.org web site. The web site has promotional and networking opportunities for Iowa agritourism and also provides resources for producers. The resources and checklists developed in the project are on this web site, that has grown to several thousand hits and nearly 700 unique visitors monthly.
