Agritourism Destinations

Studies show that the farther we get from our agricultural past, the less people — and especially children — know about where their food comes from. Agritourism has provided one way to counter this, by letting you experience rural life, culture, and food. Taking the family to a farm, orchard, or garden is an outing that can result in better eating habits, respect for the people who produce our food, and a desire to care for the environment. Many such destinations around the state are waiting to welcome travelers who want to learn — and have a whole lot of fun while they’re at it.

Does your taste run to harder spirits? Make a stop at the Journeyman Distillery in Valparaiso. The Farm Bourbon, Farm Rye, and High Rye Bourbon you’ll sip here were made from organic kosher grains carefully grown on a family-owned farm in Putnam County.
