🌾 Harvest Haven: Unveiling Haliburton’s Bounty Through Agri-Tourism 🌟

ATIP Haliburton, in partnership with U-LINKS Centre for Community Research and student researcher, Sadie Snell, from Trent University, is thrilled to announce an exciting new initiative: exploring the potential for a county-wide agri-tourism initiative in Haliburton County!

This project aims to:
🌱 Connect local businesses, groups, events, and attractions related to agriculture and food.
🍎 Increase awareness about local food production and heritage agriculture.
🧺 Promote events and encourage visitors to explore the rich agricultural bounty of Haliburton County.

Student researcher, Sadie Snell, who is studying Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems at Trent University, will be gathering community insights to shape this initiative. She will also be developing a database of agri-tourism organizations, events, and experiences in the county.

As part of this initiative, ATIP Haliburton is expanding its focus to support the broader agri-tourism sector, building on its dedication to promoting and growing the heritage apple industry in Haliburton County.

👉 Are you interested in sharing your thoughts or getting involved? Sadie will be conducting interviews with community members starting mid-January. Reach out to her at [email protected] to participate or learn more!
