Whether you’re just starting out or looking to expand\, this session offers practical insights and real-world inspiration to help you grow your own agritourism venture. \nSpeaker(s): Gray Shipley\, Shipley Farms\nCo-Sponsor(s): EmPOWERing Mountain Food Systems and NC State Extension \nThis workshop will be held at Shipley Farms located at 1699 Linville Creek Road\, Vilas\, North Carolina – look for signs for parking and farm store.\nFee: No Cost
