Agritourism Ontario was founded in 1973 as a not- for-profit, educational, and promotional organization and is home to nearly 300 Ontario farms ranging in size, scope, crop, and production. Becoming a member of Agritourism Ontario provides you and your business with numerous benefits including networking opportunities, advertising, social media profile, and more. We have 2 membership types to choose from.
As an Agritourism Operator, membership strengthens your farm’s visibility on Ontario’s Find-A-Farm map while connecting you to a province-wide network of farms, partners, and industry organizations. Gain access to advocacy, marketing support, networking opportunities, professional development, and government relations that help your business grow sustainably. Stay informed, build meaningful relationships, and participate in events that elevate Ontario’s agritourism sector together.
For businesses that support agritourism operators—such as suppliers, service providers, RTOs, DMOs, and industry associations—membership offers meaningful exposure and direct connection to farms across Ontario. Agritourism Ontario actively advocates on issues that help your business thrive, including red tape reduction, lowering insurance costs, reducing liability risk, and promoting on-farm markets. Together, we encourage local farm visitation and grow diversified agriculture.
