Agritourism

Agritourism is where farming meets tourism – giving visitors the chance to experience life on the land while supporting local producers and businesses. From farm stays and produce tastings to truffle hunts, farm gate sales, and seasonal events, agritourism connects people with the region’s natural beauty, rural lifestyle, and quality local products.

In Oberon, agritourism plays an important role in diversifying farm incomes, creating new opportunities for small businesses, and strengthening our local economy. It also helps showcase our unique landscape and culture to visitors, encouraging longer stays and repeat visits.

Council is committed to supporting responsible and sustainable agritourism ventures. We work with landowners, tourism operators, and community members to ensure activities are safe, accessible, and respectful of our environment and rural character.

If you’re a landholder or business interested in exploring agritourism opportunities, or a visitor wanting to learn more about what’s on offer in the Oberon region, please contact Council for further information.
