LANSING, MI, May 6, 2026, Michigan Agritourism has just unveiled a new website in celebration of its 20th Anniversary. The new site is designed to help families, food lovers and tourists discover farms that welcome guests, while also serving as a valuable resource for agritourism farmers in Michigan. Key features include:

“The new website is the perfect way to kick off our 20th Anniversary. We’re proud to put a spotlight on Michigan agritourism farmers, and hope it inspires people to visit, explore, and connect,” says Janice Benson, executive director of the Michigan Agritourism Association. “We have an amazing variety of agricultural experiences to discover and incredible farmers to meet. We’re excited to help guide your journey.”

Michigan Agritourism will continue to build resources for the public and for farmers, says Benson. “Each time you visit the site, you’ll find new events, new information about what’s in season and ideas for your next farm visit.”

The Association will soon release its 2026 printed directory, Michigan Farm Fun, which is one of the most requested publications at Michigan Welcome Centers, Farm Bureau Insurance offices and many tourist and farm locations across the state. The directory is sponsored by Farm Bureau Insurance and the Michigan Apple Committee.

To mark the milestone, the Association will host a 20th Anniversary celebration for agritourism farmers this November at the Bavarian Inn Lodge in Frankenmuth.
