When Growers Want to
climb every mountain
Agricultural PR specialist and travel writer, BRIAN BERKMAN (@BRIANBERKMANZA),
knows where growers want to go on holidays.
A
gri tourism or farm stays is a growing
hospitality sector and the reasons why
are clear: better bang for the Buck and
an opportunity to be nearer to nature.
A stay on a working farm is also educational
as guests see first-hand the elements that
contribute to getting food on our tables.
The Ceres Valley, known as a fertile apple and
pear growing region, has another attraction.
There’s a good chance of winter snow and a
definite opportunity of experiencing a range
of temperatures. Even in the heat of summer,
early mornings and nights are cooler in Ceres
than elsewhere.
