Please join us Wednesday, 2/26, for our next PEP Advisory Board
We will be exploring Agritourism and Agritainment. The two terms are sometimes intertwined, inviting the public onto your farm for a paid activity or to purchase something. This is another potential revenue stream for farms, ranches or hobby farmers/ ranchers. The Powell Visitor Center promotes Agritourism in Powell and Park County with our Ag Tours (Bus Tours, Custom Tours, Community Tours) We will be launching our new Ag Tour Ap in May as a part of the 150th anniversary of John Wesley Powell floating down the green and Colorado rivers.
