Annie Baggett is an Agritourism Marketing Specialist for the North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services. She promotes the agritourism industry, and helps farms find ways to expand operations through welcoming the public. Baggett also works to develop statewide awareness of the benefits of agritourism through establishing partnerships with leaders at both the local and state level, whether they’re involved with universities, private industry, non-profit organizations or just passionate about agriculture!

On this edition of “This is Tourism,” Annie talks with Ron about how best to engage with and support local farms year-round, along with the ways – and locations – where farms do business and connect with the community. From farmers markets to recreation, education to entertainment, agritourism is a great way for folks to get to know the farms and farmers around them!
