October is National Agritourism Month

Agritourism is a business on a working farm, ranch, or other agricultural enterprise that offers an educational and fun experience for visitors while generating supplemental income for the owner. Mississippi's rich and colorful agricultural heritage is filled with great innovation and success, and although it remains the leading resource in the state's economy, agriculture constantly changes with time, technology, needs, and opportunity. A vital component to Mississippi's economic development is the state's tour and travel Industry. Although an estimated 24 million people travel to and around Mississippi each year, its marriage with agriculture is no longer such a well-kept secret. By linking these two driving forces in Mississippi's economic development efforts, a very successful partnership is being realized.

Imagine pumpkin patches, hay rides, corn mazes , u-pick Christmas Trees, tomatoes and sunflowers as far as the eye can see.

Adventure, fun and entertainment -

This and so much more is

Mississippi Agritourism!
