agrotourism
Visiting working farms
Agrotourism is tourism centered on farms and rural agricultural life.
Visitors might stay at a working farm, pick fruit, tour vineyards, or participate in harvest activities.
The appeal lies in experiencing food production firsthand and escaping urban settings: The farm supplements its income through agrotourism.
Also spelled agritourism.
