AGRITOURISM ACTIVITY LIABILITY

We are excited to welcome you to our farm.  As a visitor, you will be participating in one or more agritourism activities.  An agritourism activity is any activity carried out on a farm or ranch that allows members of the general public, for recreational, entertainment, or educational purposes, to view or enjoy rural activities, including farming, ranching, historic, cultural, harvest-your-own activities, or natural activities and attractions.  An activity is an agritourism activity whether or not the participant paid to participate in the activity.
