Agricultural Tourism

If you are looking for a get away “to rediscover life's natural rhythms” here’s an entrepreneurial twist on a farm stay vacation for you.

Feather Down Farms, “a network of working farms in the UK and beyond offer a decidedly compelling twist,” as small-scale, working farms that provide “cottage-style tents with "traditional interiors" including feather beds, wood-burning stoves and flushing toilets.”

Staying in spacious feather down tents, children “can get cosy with the barnyard creatures” on the farm and “a farm store provides locally grown produce and necessities. Guests can also gather fresh eggs in the farm's henhouse each morning—or, at some UK farms, a private chicken coop is even available for rent, as are recipes, ingredients and implements for select farm-style meals.”

And the trend is taking off with potential expansion to other entrepreneurial farmers in Europe and the U.S.

An interesting example of new and experiential tourism offerings emerging.
