Agri-Tourism In Central Oregon, many of us look for ways to connect to nature and all it has to offer. Agri-tourism does just that, allowing you to dig into what’s being grown and produced right here in our region! Learn how goats are milked, pick your own pumpkins, or drink lavender tea while browsing a selection of hops soap, all through agri-tourism events this summer. You’ll experience farm-life first hand!
