Tourists Flock to the Farm

Genuine Mississippi Podcast

Join Mississippi's Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce Andy Gipson for a great conversation about agritourism. As one of our guest’s, Neal Williams, said, “We grow memories.” And that kind of encapsulates Genuine Mississippi’s fast growing agritourism sector. Agritourism is tourism that takes place on a working farm or other agricultural enterprise offering fun and educational experiences for visitors. Mississippi has 77 agritourism operations registered with MDAC. For this podcast, we’re excited to talk with Jo Lynn Mitchell of Mitchell Family Farms in Collins, Michael May of Lazy Acres in Chunky and Neal Williams of Williams Family Farm in Wiggins. Come with us for a real adventure down on the farm!
