| We have been hearing from folks around the state about different challenges and opportunities they face in agritourism. We are inspired by a few groups of people around the state coming together to bolster agritourism in their areas- from Northeast to Southwest to Western Slope. It is a good reminder that we can accomplish more by working together than we can on our own.
This has motivated us to put together a series of sessions to explore the benefits and barriers of agritourism. The next installment will delve into legal and insurance considerations. It will be on January 29, 2026, 10-11:30 am via zoom.
Risk Ready: Legal & Insurance Tools for Agritourism- January 29, 2026, 10-11:30 via Zoom Some of the most intimidating topics we all face are legal and insurance issues. We have invited a legal expert and an insurance broker to enlighten us and share their perspectives on the industry. Learn about agritourism vs. commercial use classifications, state and local issues, code enforcement and operator rights, insurance categories, risk management, umbrella policies and more. It is complicated- these experts will share concrete examples of what can help you plan and protect your agritourism activities and revenues. Join the conversation and ask your questions! |

The first session was held in December on Navigating Local Rules in Agritourism. Here is a link to the recording of the session if you’d like to review it. Thank you to our presenters: Stefen Wynn from Paonia, Matt Lafferty from Larimer County and Laurie Mitchell from Sage View Ranch.
Next up- mark your calendars: March 12, 2026– CAA Annual Meeting

Our goal for the industry on this website is two-fold- to curate your agritourism offerings for our visitors so that our marketing partners and visitors can access all of these experiences in one place. Secondly, we want to provide resources and connections for the industry to help make your jobs easier and your businesses more successful. We aim to be the leading provider of agritourism support and outreach to producers in the state of Colorado.

Since we want to offer a comprehensive catalog of agritourism experiences, we invite you to submit your information and experiences whether you are a Colorado Agritourism Association member or not. On the business side of things, we won’t continue to exist without the support of the industry- it goes both ways. If you are inclined to come together with others in the industry, click here for membership information.
One of the top questions that we get is what a business needs to do to start or expand their agritourism. The CAA has spent several years, in partnership with Colorado State University to develop this Tool for Navigating County Regulations: Click here to access. We hope this helps you out!
