Agritourism | Food Systems

The county’s zoning ordinance addresses agritourism. The code defines “agritourism” as the act of visiting a farm, rach, or any agricultural, horticultural, or agribusiness operation for the purpose of enjoyment, education, or participation (§201).

In the Agricultural district, agritourism is listed as a conditional use and an Agricultural Advisory Review Committee Application is required to be submitted and prior to permit review (§701.4). Tourist centers, gift shops, coffee shops, restaurants, meeting and assembly rooms are permitted as accessory uses in the Agricultural Marketing Center district (§510.3).
