Agritourism

Jackie Moore

Agritourism Program Director

Agriculture is a vital part of our state’s economy. The industry impacts every citizen, and the South Carolina Department of Agriculture (SCDA) is always working to help more people connect with agriculture. Many farmers have joined the effort by diversifying their operations through agritourism.

Agritourism includes agriculture-based activities that bring people to farms, ranches, or other agricultural settings. Some examples include u-pick operations, corn mazes, farm to table dinners, and on-the-farm restaurants with markets that sell locally made foods. SCDA recognizes the great value of agritourism and its potential to benefit farms of all sizes.

When visiting farms as part of our state’s agritourism experience, please remember that these are working farms, where daily tasks and responsibilities keep the farm running smoothly. Farmers work hard to care for their crops, livestock, and land, often following a strict schedule to ensure the well-being of their animals and the success of their harvest. If your visit includes areas with farm animals, be mindful that their feeding, milking, and general care happen at set times, and disruptions can affect both the animals and the farmers. We encourage all visitors to enjoy the beauty of farm life while respecting the dedication and routine that make these farms thrive.
