Agritourism as an enterprise is being hailed as a primary force in our modern economy drawing millions of visitors to North Carolina who spend upwards of $13 billion dollars each year. “The 2016 Agritourism Guide has been designed to appeal to a vibrant and diverse traveler—from empty nesters to modern families,” says Tina Masciarelli, Buy Haywood Project Coordinator. “This unique and popular publication crisscrosses Haywood offering year round opportunities to enjoy a variety of experiences celebrating our rich farming and agricultural heritage.”
The 2016 Guide includes: farmer and tailgate markets, roadside stands, on farm markets, U Pick farms, specialty retail shops, rustic hospitality venues, historic preservation and local gardens, Christmas tree farms, plant nurseries, a 2016 Calendar of heritage related events, a listing of farm-to-table restaurant and other local flavor entertainment spots. The guide also features a spectacular hand drawn map of Haywood County by local naturalist, Ken Czarnomski, breathtaking photos by Ed Kelley, and a delicious Summer Fruit Salsa recipe from Chef Jackie Blevins of Perfectly Seasoned.
Buy Haywood is a project of the Haywood Advancement Foundation. Agritourism efforts receive vital support the Haywood Advancement Foundation, Bethel Rural Community Organization, Haywood County Tourism Authority and other stakeholders.
A digital version of the guide is available for download.
