FREE AGRI-TOURISM MARKETING PROMOTION! Cooperative Extension in Rockingham & Guilford Counties often receives numerous requests. The following 2 surveys, once completed, will be sent out upon request to those interested in or just looking for animals, interested in touring livestock farms or participating in various equine activities. Agri-tourism is really growing and folks are eager to have an "animal experience". I have been working on this promotional agri-tourism list for sometime and wanted to make sure that everyone who wished to be included in it, had that opportunity. This could possibly provide you and your farm a new Marketing opportunity. There are many people in our world today that have never been close to livestock and other animals. What a great way to promote our industry. If you are interested in having your farm listed, and haven’t already done so, please complete the following surveys and mail me ALL of your contact information and activities that you have to offer or provide.
