How to Make Money With Your Farm

Can you run an activity that allows paying visitors to come to your farm? For example a play area for children, trails, picnic areas, wine tasting, farm animals you can pet and milk/feed, farmyard trampolines. 

There are several recent reports of farms with up to $1,000 or more a week from agritourism, especially during festive seasons. 

Here are some considerations on what to do to make your farm a tourist attraction:

1. Agritourism, wine tastings, and farm tours

In the US, there are lots of farms that offer a visit or a ‘farm trail’, an example is Preston Trail Farms. By providing an alternative tourist attraction, rather than or as well as selling farm produce, you can earn more money from your farm.

Your earning potential with this strategy will blow your mind.
