ABOUT THIS DIRECTORY
First produced in 1979 by the Michigan Department of Agriculture, the purpose of this directory is to support Michigan farmers by attracting visitors to farms across the state. Since 2008, Michigan Agritourism has been producing the directory showcasing the amazing and diverse agricultural experiences. What has become an important tool in support of local farmers has also become an incredible tool for our community members, and especially our children, to discover, experience and learn.
Produced and printed in Michigan with authentic photos from Michigan farms.
