Dear Friend,
Have you been entertaining the idea of hosting an agritourism event on your farm or homestead this season? These events can garner connection to customers and help pay for your new fence. Possible events include petting zoo, farm-to-table lunch, corn maze, hay ride, farm tour, and wedding host. Unfortunately, there’s more to hosting a successful hay hide than organizing hay bales, gassing up the tractor, and sending out the invites.
Before jumping headfirst into planning your first post-COVID event, please familiarize yourself with the agritourism laws in your state and the various liabilities that could be on your plate. For a primer on agritourism laws, check out the latest article on our website HERE.
Reminder to members: Later today (Thursday, April 15) at 10 a.m. Pacific, 12 p.m. Central, 1 p.m. Eastern, we’re hosting our live members-only webinar on urban agriculture and zoning issues. Homesteader member Aja Yasir, FTCLDF attorney Suzy Israel, and myself will discuss the legal issues with Aja’s case and how she and our attorney eventually prevailed, the codes that limit or encourage urban agriculture, how to research the laws in your area, and answers to related questions you may have. To sign up for the webinar, please login HERE with your member email address as username.
In good health,
Alexia Kulwiec
Executive Director
