Travelers embrace agri-tourism experiences

(May 2, 2012) -- "Travelers have become more interested in how their food is produced. They want to meet farmers and processors and talk with them about what goes into food production," said Sipe. "For many people who visit farms, especially children, the visit marks the first time they see the source of their food, be it a dairy cow, an ear of corn growing in a field, or an apple they can pick right off a tree."
