California Regional Agritourism Summits registration open

The University of California Small Farm Program and UC Cooperative Extension advisors in four California regions are working with local partners to organize Regional Agritourism Summits. The summits will be occasions for farmers, ranchers, county planners, the tourism community and others involved to share, learn and plan together.

The summit schedule is as follows:

  • Yolo/Sacramento/Solano Agritourism Summit
    Monday, Feb. 13 – UC ANR Building, 2801 Second Street, Davis CA 95618
  • Sonoma/Marin Agritourism Summit
    Thursday, Feb. 16 – Petaluma Community Center, Lucchesi Park, 320 N. McDowell Blvd, Petaluma CA 95954
  • Stanislaus/San Joaquin/Merced Agritourism Summit
    Thursday, March 23 – Stanislaus County Agricultural Center, 3800 Cornucopia Way, Modesto, CA 95358
  • Riverside/San Bernardino/San Diego Agritourism Summit
    Wednesday, March 29 – La Sierra University, 4500 Riverwalk Pkwy, Riverside, CA 92505

Presentations and discussion topics will include county regulations, marketing plans, social media and event organizing training sessions, itinerary development, liability financing ideas for agritourism development, and more.

Each summit was planned by a local team to best reflect the needs of the region. Each summit will be a participatory, all-day session with lunch provided.

Participants are invited to bring marketing and organizational information to display and share.
