Ohio Farm Bureau is partnering with America 250-Ohio to launch the America 250-Ohio Agritourism Trail, a statewide initiative designed to celebrate Ohio agriculture as part of the nation’s 250th anniversary.
The self-guided tour will highlight agritourism destinations across Ohio throughout September and October 2026, encouraging Ohioans and visitors to explore the state’s rich agricultural heritage and diverse operations.
Applications are being accepted through June 30 for agritourism businesses interested in being featured on the America 250-Ohio Agritourism Trail. Selected trail participants will be announced at the Ohio State Fair in August.
Submissions are evaluated based on accessibility, relevance and visitor experience:
- Accessibility: Eligible sites should be open to walk-in visitors during regular hours, offer adequate parking and provide clear information on operating hours or public tours. Locations relying on tours must be open to the public and posted on the website with an easy booking process.
- Relevance: Participating sites should have a direct connection to agritourism and help Ohioans celebrate or partake in agricultural heritage or production.
- Visitor Experience: The scope of this project is to create a trail where visitors to and through Ohio can stop and spend an hour or two, learning more about the many agritourism experiences our state has to offer. Visitors should find the experience educational, fun or engaging when stopping by the site.
Applications and more details on the trail can be found at ofb.ag/apply250agritourismtrail
This Agritourism Trail is separate from America 250-Ohio’s Trails and Tales initiative. The America 250-Ohio Agritourism Trail is specifically focused on encouraging travel to agritourism sites throughout the Buckeye State.

To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.
