“People are getting into their cars and traveling to farms in growing numbers,” said Sylvia Burgos Toftness, a board member of WATA.

 

According to Allied Market Research, visitors are seeking on-farm stays, education, ecotourism, and satisfying their curiosity about rural and farm living. “Wisconsin’s agricultural producers want to, and are prepared to, meet this demand with welcoming farm-based experiences,” said Burgos Toftness.

The WATA member farms include petting zoos, event barns, wineries, you-pick orchards and berry patches, pasture walks, corn mazes, tree farms, pumpkin patches, and more.
