Michigan Agritourism Membership
Michigan Agritourism was founded in 2006 by a group of farmers who understood firsthand what it takes to run an agricultural operation that welcomes the public. Through their own experiences, they recognized the need for a supportive network — one that could give the industry a stronger voice in Lansing and in communities across Michigan. They also saw the value of bringing farmers together to share ideas, collaborate, learn from one another and strengthen the future of agritourism in our state.
Michigan Agritourism members operate farms or other agricultural operations that are open to the public, such as farm markets, roadside stands, wineries, cideries, U-Pick farms, cider mills, dairies and creameries, Choose and Cut Christmas tree farms, petting farms, Agritainment farms, educational farms and agricultural museums, corn mazes, farm stays, and community farmers markets.
