How Can We Help?
Agritourism: Extreme Farm Makeover
Estimated Time: Nine 45-minute class periods
Project Summary: Students work in groups to design an agritourism experience that will increase profits for a family-owned farm and provide agricultural literacy opportunities for community members. Students research finance, marketing, and tourism components in order to create a successful agritourism business for the farmer. Students will also research the agricultural production systems of the farm in order to provide successful and meaningful agricultural literacy opportunities for visitors.
Driving Question (Teacher Guided, Student Constructed): What agritourism experience can we design to increase agricultural literacy and profits on a family-owned farm?

Are the resources not available for this lesson? It looks like there should be a link there, like the Student Outline, but there’s nothing there. Am I wrong thinking that those resources are included?
