On Agritourism Farms – Operators Can Manage Guest Safety
Farm guest safety is one of our biggest concerns on family farms. In fact, many farms are reluctant to get involved in agritourism enterprises because of the unknown risks and liabilities. I would never let these fears stop you from pursuing agritourism enterprises, however, it is smart to do your homework before starting new endeavors.
Three of the best publications that I’ve seen telling about how to protect the public from injury, explain good sanitation practices, emergency planning and much more are available online from the National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety out of Wisconsin.
The three publications are: Agritourism Health and Safety Guidelines, Policies and Procedures Guide and a Worksite Guide. All of these publications can be downloaded for free.
If you are contemplating getting involved in agritourism or currently involved, you will want to read and review these great “free” resources.
