National agritourism and direct sales survey deadline nears

Farmers who have visitors on their farm, ranch, vineyard, or fishery, are invited to take part in a national survey about agritourism and direct sales.

This multi-state research study is led by Lisa Chase, Extension professor at the University of Vermont. The results of the survey will be used to develop tools and resources to increase the success of farms that offer on-farm direct sales, education, recreation, entertainment, hospitality, and other types of agritourism.

Whether you have a farmstand, u-pick, CSA, tastings, school field trips, events, tours, hunting, overnight stays, or open your farm to the public in any other ways, your experiences are important.

This survey is confidential and should take about 10 minutes to complete. Results will be used to develop tools and resources for farmers.

The survey will close Jan. 31. Questions can be directed to Lisa Chase, [email protected] or 802-257-7967.
