Producer/host: Jane E. Haskell, University of Maine Cooperative Extension

Topic: Agritourism

What do you see as agri-tourism activities – and what do you do or offer?
How does agritourism fit into your farm plan?
How do you answer the question, ‘can my business be an attraction for visitors?’
When you conducted your research, what was the profile of the owner of an agri-tourism business? are they ‘old’ businesses?
