An Act defining agritourism
This bill defines "agritourism" as agricultural activities open to the public that encourage purchasing on-site grown products. It directly affects farms and businesses offering educational, recreational, or cultural experiences on agricultural land. Key provisions require that for land not primarily used for agriculture, at least 75% of the acreage must be agricultural, and specific income thresholds must be met from selling locally produced goods. The definition clarifies eligibility for agritourism operations under Massachusetts law.
