Kentucky Farms Are Fun

They call it agritourism – and if you’ve ever visited a pumpkin patch or toured a Kentucky Horse Farm, you’ve experienced it. Agritourism is defined as The act of visiting a working farm or any agricultural, horticultural, or agribusiness operation for the purpose of enjoyment, education, or active involvement in the activities of the farm or operation. That’s quite a mouthful, so we just like to say – Kentucky Farms Are Fun! And farm tourism is a terrific way to explore Kentucky while supporting our hardworking farm families.

A Getaway, Not Far Away

Between our busy schedules and the ever-increasing costs of travel, most of us are limited on the number of vacations or weekend getaways we can plan in a year.

And there’s no shortage of things to do on Kentucky farms. From educational trips to trail rides, sipping a bit of bourbon, or picking out your own live Christmas tree, explore the veritable treasure-trove Kentucky farms offer all year round!
