Agritourism is one of the fastest growing niche tourism markets in the industry; it is a bridge between rural and urban communities. Urbanites seek an escape from the city within an easy, short drive; their countryside counterparts provide unique opportunities to relax and explore. In Arkansas, agritourism encompasses a wide variety of activities that promote the agriculture of Arkansas, including farmers markets, U-pick farms, farm tours, eco-tourism ventures and trail rides in Arkansas. Agritourism also refers to winery tours, hayrides, pumpkin patches – anything that generates extra business for farmers while promoting education and entertainment about Arkansas food products and the agriculture of Arkansas.
