Tourism Firm Favourite Farm Diversification
The most common farm diversification option for farmers is tourism with many transforming traditional farm buildings into holiday accommodation. Nowadays, if you fancy making cheese, picking cherries, smoking fish, shearing sheep or indulging in your One Man and his Dog dreams, you can head down to a farm to stay whilst learning a new skill. On a farm holiday you can bed down in a cosy cottage or camping barn, a B&B or boutique hotel. Some of these ventures are so successful that they have overtaken the farming income on some farms.
