Montana Agritourism Fellows
Montana Agritourism Fellows
To establish and train a cohort of leaders, the Montana Agritourism Fellows (“Fellows”), who will educate farmers, ranchers, professionals, and communities about sustainable agritourism.
Allow fellows to effectively educate others on diversification opportunities on sustainability and the economic, environmental, and social impacts of agritourism and complex industry issues.
We are able to host the Montana Agritourism Fellows with the help of the Western SARE (Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education) Grant.
