The Cornell Cooperative Extension Agritourism Program Work Team, in partnership with the Stanley Warren Teaching Endowment Fund at the Cornell University Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, invites agritourism operations, agricultural service providers, and tourism promotion agencies to join them for an innovative, hands-on, and educational opportunity to grow the agritourism industry across New York State.
In Central NY (Cazenovia & Jamesville), Monday, Oct 28, 2024, will feature a full-day chauffeured bus to five agritourism destinations in Madison County as we explore their success in four areas: farm facilities, visitor profile, natural resources, and personal qualities. The first day will be capped off with a keynote speaker, networking session and dinner at Heritage Hill Brewery in Onondaga County. The second day will be a half-day conference at Rocking Horse Farm in Jamesville, NY with speakers and a blend of hands-on activities, discussions, and guest speakers.
Attendees will leave with a better understanding of the resources available at both the state and local level from Cornell Cooperative Extension and partners such as I LOVE NY and NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets to support their agritourism operation. And they will build a stronger local network within their agritourism community.
The cost to attend is $60/person for the day and a half of training. This includes transportation on day one, as well as lunch, dinner, and the networking session. Additionally, a light breakfast on day two will be provided. Pre-registration is required by the Thursday prior to the event. Financial support is provided by the Stanley Warren Teaching Endowment Fund to keep costs affordable. All questions can be directed to Laura Biasillo at lw257@cornell.edu.
