Abstract: Agritourism can provide both on-farm recreational activities for visitors and educational activities showing how food is produced. It can help farmers diversify and add income to their operations. This study assesses how characteristics of agritourism operations and perceived barriers may influence future plans to expand using a logit model. This information will be useful to policymakers and economic development professionals, as they look for contributors to future growth in the agritourism sector, as well as special assistance needs by expansion-minded firms.
