The focus will be on bringing together agritourism operators and tourism leaders to identify and share the stories of Western NC farms.

About this event
EmPOWERing Mountain Food Systems is a supporter of Agritourism development in the region. Team members will glean insight from participants on funding opportunities supporting agritourism operations and collaboration with local agencies to support this growing sector of the tourism industry.

NC State tourism experts listened to 26 farmers and tourism leaders from the region and identified a need for storytelling as a tool to increase visitation to agritourism operations in Western NC. They will deliver valuable insights for both agritourism providers and allied partners designed to support this valuable component of our regional tourism economy.

During the workshop, agritourism operators will identify what aspects of their story make them unique. Concurrently, local tourism and economic development leaders will brainstorm how agritourism can amplify and complement their community's tourism brands. 

We'll bring the two groups together to identify how the agritourism' stories can align with the regional tourism brands.
