Dude ranches offer tourists the chance to work on cattle ranches and sometimes include cattle drives.
Agritourism has often been proposed as a means to prop up a local agricultural economy when local producers are no longer economically competitive otherwise.
An example of an agritourism enterprise can be found in Lansing, New York at Indian Chimney Farm, where alpaca, horses, goats, waterfalls, gorges, gardens and more are available for farm tours. A small country gift shop with fine alpaca apparel and other locally handcrafted gift items helps to sustain the farm. http://www.IndianChimneyFarm.com
