Additional Options

Spend some time on the Internet and see if potential visitors can find you. If they can’t find your farm, visitors won’t be able to enjoy the day with you.

  • Many cities throughout Illinois also have visitors bureaus that may offer online listings or downloadable activity guides.
  • Local Chambers of Commerce provide another way to promote your agritourism operation.
  • Connecting on social media lets visitors know when your agritourism business is open for their enjoyment.
  • In addition to these options, you may choose to list your farm in commercial agritainment listing websites. Many directory sites offer free listings, while some are paid. Free sites often have click-based advertising or sponsor advertising to help defray the expense of maintenance and provide income to the web developer. Be sure to take the time to contact the web owner to see if you’re a good fit.
