Take a real working farm and those who own the land and work so hard to preserve it. Reflect on what you might find if you were to visit such a farm. A big old red barn? More than likely, yes. Stalks of corn and bales of hay? A definite possibility. Strawberries, blueberries, muscadines, tomatoes and sweet potatoes for as far as the eye can see? What a delicious idea. What about animals? They are always an important cog in the wheel of agriculture. Looking for wagons and trains and tractors? Of course. Fields of flowers, cotton, pumpkins and Christmas trees. How lovely. Maybe a cabin, or a lake or a quaint little general store will be included.
Combine all of these expected elements of a working farm, blend them together with the tender loving care of the farmers, add a whole lot of open air, throw in a variety of sounds and aromas and then mix thoroughly. The result of this agricultural fusion is Agritourism, of course!
