Increase support for business planning and evaluation of agritourism activities

Organizations, such as the NH Farm Bureau, UNH Extension, and the Small Business Development Center, can work to expand business assistance resources for farms engaged in, or considering, agritourism throughout business development and life cycle stages. Engaging municipal and county leaders in education and awareness can position them to better support agritourism sector development in their regions. Tracking statewide participation levels and economic data can help inform strategies to engage people of color, young people, and others who have commonly been under-represented in agritourism management.
