The University of California Small Farm Program lists resources available to those who wish to start an agritourism operation. One of its publications is the 160-page 2005-title "Agritourism and Nature Tourism in California". This is a workbook for farmers and ranchers. It was the culmination of a brainstorming session held between farmers, ranchers, university researchers, tourism officials and community support groups.
Topics include:
- Evaluating resources for tourism
- Creating a business plan
- Examining legal constraints
- Risk management
- Developing a marketing plan
- Farm visits for children
- Planning a tourism workshop
- Resources
