Growing Together:
Unlocking the Hidden Economy of Agritourism
Discover the Power of Agritourism as an Economic Development Strategy
Across California, agritourism is creating jobs, diversifying farm income, and strengthening the connection between rural and urban communities. Yet the full potential of this “hidden economy” remains untapped. Join us for a gathering bringing together farmers, tourism professionals, and economic development experts and leaders to explore collaborative models that can help agritourism flourish in our region.
Hear from experts including:
- Dr. Keith Taylor, UCCE Specialist in Community Economic Development (UC Davis)
- Deborah Yashar, California Center for Cooperative Development
- Tracy Celio, Program Manager, Southwest Regional Food Business Center
- Representatives from local Tourism Authorities and other Cooperatives and farm support groups
