This initiative aims to help farmers create or expand agritourism experiences, providing an additional income stream to offset financial challenges. The program is a response to a quadrupling of interest in farm stays since 2018, with average farm stays earning around $8,000 in 2025, contrasting with a reported $2,800 loss for farmers in 2024.",
