Agritourism has become a booming industry in Indiana, with the state now serving as the home of over 300 agritourism destinations. Some businesses, such as Fair Oaks Farms, give visitors a peek at the day-to-day operations of a working farm. Others such as Huber’s Orchard, Winery & Vineyards allow you to get up close and personal with the wineries that the area is also becoming known for. There are also those that are open seasonally, such as the Christmas tree farms and pumpkin patches. Farmers’ markets, flower farms, and breweries are also considered part of the thriving agritourism of the state. While it’s certainly possible for you to go on a day trip to check out these sights, you can actually immerse yourself to get a better understanding of what farm life is like. Take your pick from these top farm stays in Indiana, USA.
