Agritourism is defined as anything agriculturally-based that brings visitors to a farm or ranch. It could be an event, an activity or even job opportunity. For example, anything from going to a spooky halloween corn maze, to buying produce from a farm stand, picking fruit, feeding animals, touring a vineyard, the actual process of winemaking or even staying at a bed and breakfast on a farm are all activities considered to be agritourism.

Recently our travels have taken us to Sacramento! Last week we made some time to walk through the World Peace Rose Garden at The Capitol.
