Considering the large impact that both agriculture and tourism have on the state of Minnesota, expanding agritourism opportunities may be an important boost to both economies. In 2008 the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA), through its Community Assistance Program (CAP), supported a research project to explore agritourism opportunities in Minnesota, particularly the concept of creating a network of “farm stays” to be cooperatively marketed.
