GUEST AND TOURIST FARMS
Tourism
on the farm is a growing enterprise. "Farming with people", as some
will say. Such an enterprise involves earning money from visitors to
the farm as well as sale of farm products to visitors at the
nearby village Saturday market. South African wine tours are well
known but little is known about the development of visits to fruit
farms, dairy farms, flower farms, sheep shearing etc. Agricultural
Shows have been with us for a long time and some have developed into
major events. The Rand Easter Show , The Royal Show and the Bethal
Aartapple-fees are examples. The Cape has some big annual events as well but
nothing on the scale of the last mentioned. Opportunity exists to develop
farm stays , educational tours, conferences, horse trails, hiking trails and
other environmentally low impact events. While 4 x 4 trails have
become more popular since the ban on the environmentally sensitive beaches,
the proliferation of this activity on environmentally sensitive rural
land is developed in a controlled manner. Roads need to be maintained
to prevent excessive soil erosion, for instance. The development of game
farms combined with tourist activity is first prize. Consider. The following
are some examples of farm tourism. Self catering cottages, B7B'S, horse
rides, fishing, canoeing, bike riding, educational farm stays for school
children and adults, conducted farm tours, wine tasting and off sales, and
other products such as cheese, and other dairy products, country
restaurants, conferences, meetings, incentives and events.
