The Cornell Cooperative Extension Agritourism Program Work Team, in partnership with the Stanley Warren Teaching Endowment Fund at the Cornell University Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, invites agritourism operations, agricultural service providers, and tourism promotion agencies to join them for an innovative, hands-on, and educational opportunity to grow the agritourism industry across New York State.
Two options will be offered, one in Western NY (Lockport, NY) and one in Central NY (Cazenovia & Jamesville, NY). Each session will feature a full day chauffeured bus to five agritourism destinations as we explore their success in four areas: farm facilities, visitor profile, natural resources, and personal qualities. The first day will be capped off with a networking session and dinner. The second day will be a half day of speakers and a blend of hands-on activities, discussions and guest speakers.
The Western NY Bus Tour will take place on Monday & Tuesday, October 7th and 8th. Day one will follow the itinerary listed below. Participants will board the bus at 9am at CCE Niagara, and will tour until approximately 4pm followed by dinner and networking. Day two will start at 9 am and will be held at the Buffalo-Niagara Heritage Village. Educational sessions will conclude at 12 pm on October 8th.
