![]() Agritourism opportunities don’t have to end with the final harvest: Grandpa Tiny’s Farm decorates its barn for Christmas events and has reindeer to add to the holiday charm. “It’s probably a similar case across the entire nation, if not internationally as well.” A poll of Michigan Agritourism Association members showed a significant increase in visitors to agritourism activities on their farms in 2020 - a trend that has continued. “It wasn’t surprising to see that agritourism jumped significantly during the pandemic, because we were the outside location with lots of acreage, we could open giant barn doors (for ventilation), and people just felt like we were a safe location to visit,” Winkel said. ![]() She estimates that farms saw at least a 10 percent hike from 2019 to 2020. “2019 was a phenomenal year on its own, with perfect weather,” she said, “so for the numbers in 2020 to beat those of 2019, that was pretty respectable.” Remember 2020? The public yearned for safe, outside-the-house entertainment opportunities, and many farms were ready and waiting with all sorts of fun-on-the-farm activities outside in the fresh air, according to Winkel, who also owns Grandpa Tiny’s Farm in Frankenmuth, Michigan.Īccording to a poll in late 2021, association members reported experiencing a significant rise in agritourism attendance from 2019 to 2020, which was especially notable because 2019 was no slouch, Winkel said. ![]() (Leslie Mertz/for Good Fruit Grower) Crisis to opportunity ![]() Armstrong Apples Orchard and Winery offers a wide selection of family-friendly activities that draw a bumper crop of customers. A 2022 MAA member poll showed many farms have plans for agritourism-related expansion, including 18 percent planning to add a new activity, 13 percent constructing a new building, 12 percent installing more parking and 8 percent adding restrooms. “We feel like it’s leveling off now that everything is going back to what was more typical (prepandemic), and yet we’ve still been able to retain some of those customers we gained over the last two years, which is excellent,” she said. In Michigan, the return to “normal” includes many of the new customers farms gained in 2020, said Wendy Winkel, president of the Michigan Agritourism Association. Private market analysts tracking the agritourism industry domestically and globally predict continued growth in the sector in 2023. The pandemic put the spotlight on the benefits of agritourism, but the boom in attendance hasn’t faded away for the farms that enjoyed the boost.
