Agri-tourism has come a long way since the pumpkin patch and Christmas tree farms. The latest census numbers show there are nearly 35,000 agri-tourism destinations in the U.S.
The industry is alive and well in Louisiana.
Agri-tainment is one of the fastest-growing aspects of tourism in the "Bayou State."
According to Bill Nungesser, the Lt. Governor for Louisiana, "People are looking for those unique experiences. They want to get outdoors and try something new and when you can do ag tourism, you learn something about the food, how they grow it, and how they produce it, and the families and the stories are worth a million dollars."
