The Cornell Cooperative Extension Agritourism Program Work Team invites farmers, tourism professionals, educators, and community leaders to attend the New York State Agritourism Conference in Saratoga Springs, NY. This two-day event on Monday, November 10 and Tuesday, November 11, will offer valuable insights and hands-on learning opportunities for anyone interested in strengthening or starting an agritourism enterprise.
The conference features two educational tracks, more than 18 speakers, and representatives from across New York’s agricultural and tourism sectors, including Farm Credit East, I Love NY, Tourism Promotion Agencies, and the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets. Attendees will also enjoy a regional networking event designed to build partnerships and foster collaboration.
On the second day, participants will select from two immersive experiences: “Hosting Agritourism Workshops” or “Interactive Farm Tours.” These sessions will guide attendees through planning, logistics, pricing, and customer engagement strategies before concluding with interactive, hands-on activities such as a lavender wreath-making class or sample farm tour stations featuring planting, agricultural literacy materials, and crafts.
Registration for the conference is $100, which includes light snacks on both days. To view the full conference schedule and learn more, visit https://ccebroome.my.canva.site/2025-nys-agritourism-conference/#schedule
