Agritourism combines Florida’s two biggest industries: agriculture and tourism.

In this series of Science by the Slice, a podcast by the UF/IFAS Center for Public Issues Education in Agriculture and Natural Resources (PIE Center), guests will educate listeners about agritourism. You’ll hear from Joy Rumble, assistant professor of agricultural education, communication and leadership at The Ohio State University, and Jeff Manley, director of agritourism operations at H&A Farms and Red, White and Blues Farm.

“I would define agritourism as a vehicle through which to create joy for families in a rural farm setting,” said podcast guest Jeff Manley. “That is one of the most rewarding residual effects of agritourism.”
