Get Involved in Agritourism
Agritourism is a growing opportunity for landowners, farmers, and rural businesses to diversify income, attract visitors, and share the unique stories of our region. From farm stays and pick-your-own experiences to tours, workshops, and local produce sales, there are many ways to tap into this thriving sector.
Bathurst Regional Council has developed a tailored guide to support businesses in the Bathurst region as they begin their agritourism journey. Whether you’re starting from scratch or adding an agritourism offering to your existing business, our Setting Up a Bathurst Agritourism Business Guide will walk you through the essentials – from compliance and planning to marketing and creating a memorable visitor experience.
