Neologism: Agritourism

Agritourism (noun): referring to vacations - long or short - in which food production is the attraction. Common agritourism sites include wineries, dairy farms, and organic family farms. Many of these trips involve staying at or near the site and participating to varying degrees with the food production, then sharing in the results. Many people consider agritourism a result of the green revolution and a revived interest in the origins of our food.

These websites offer some agritourist adventures. The first is from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA).
