In June of 2010, NEKTTA was awarded grant funding from the USDA for an Agritourism Development & Promotion Initiative which will help our agriculturally based businesses enhance, create, and market offerings for travelers. Goals of this initiative include enhancing visitor experiences, increasing awareness of our agricultural heritage, helping local farms remain viable, increasing job creation in the Northeast Kingdom, and increasing tourism in the region. We are currently working with VT Farms Association, the UVM Center for Sustainable Agriculture and the UVM Extension Farm Viability Program to begin work on this initiative.
NEKTTA is pleased to make its new Agritourism On-Site Farm Safety Guide available for download. If you intend to download and print the manual, use the Print Version (6.25 MB) for best printing results. If you wish to view it on your computer only, use the Web Version (1.44 MB) for quicker download.
