Seeking expressions of interest from primary producers and rural landholders to develop agri-tourism experiences in the region

The Peel Development Commission is seeking to engage with farmers and rural landholders in the region to understand the state of play of agri-tourism and what opportunities there might be to explore with like-minded businesses new and enhanced agri-tourism offerings.

Agri-tourism presents an opportunity for primary producers and rural landholders to diversify their operation and provide alternative income streams, while also building the portfolio of tourism products and experiences available in the Peel region.
