Farm Tours

Please provide feedback on what you think would make a great farm tour!

The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and the Village of Manchester have been awarded a grant through the Community Tourism Action Plan (CTAP) program to promote tourism to the Manchester area. This is a one year award, with the possibility of a second year of funding. A full description of the award can be found here: http://themanchestermirror.com/2014/05/19/manchester-awarded-a-10000-grant-to-increase-tourism/

As one of the tasks of this grant, the agritourism committee has been charged with implementing new farm-related activities and to assess agritourism and adventure travel opportunities. As we plan ahead for the second year of funding (or other grant opportunities), we'd like your help to determine the types of activities that would be best suited to this endeavour. This is a short survey that will only take 5 minutes of your time.

Thank you for your interest and participation!
