Join the La Junta Chamber of Commerce for an Agritourism Workshop
DATE: Wednesday July 27,2022 starting at 1:00 P.M.

Registration is $10.00 a person
What is Agritourism?
Agritourism is where agriculture meets the tourists, and the tourists experience rural life and aspects of living in the country.

In this workshop we will share stories of other successful agritourism efforts around the nation and answer your questions about developing an agritourism venue on your farm or ranch.

Agritourism helps to educate folks about the products they eat and where they come from – and it tells the story of agriculture and why “rural” matters.

Attend this workshop and come away with ideas and ways to make your farm or ranch more productive.

For more information or to register, please contact the La Junta Chamber of Commerce at 719.384.7411 or at [email protected].
