Agritourism

The melding of agriculture + tourism is on the rise. If you’re an Airstreamer, you are most likely already familiar with this experience as a down home way to connect with local farms. An annual membership to Harvest Host gives you access to a myriad of choices whether it’s honey, cheese, wine, berry farms, orchards and more! This membership provides you with a comfortable campsite, an alternative night’s stay to a conventional campground as you cross the country in an RV; and gives you an opportunity to connect and support local farms that provide a great product or experience to enjoy.

Our stop in Minnesota gave us time to explore and enjoy a unique agritourism opportunity at the Alpha & Omega Farm in Princeton, Minnesota. Here we (almost) devoured an entire wood-fired pizza pie leaving little behind. All that’s required is reserving a ‘pizza crust’ online which is your reservation, then we hopped into my trusty stead to explore the backroads and savor the wide open fields where corn will surely be ‘Knee high by the Fourth of July’, a childhood saying I fondly recall.

Once we arrived at the Farm, we visited the Fainting Goats, alpacas, pigs and chicks. Following a few days of heavy rain, the fields were soggy but it didn’t deter the fun and an incredible pizza which was amazing! Of course, having my grandson, Jack, and a couple of Airstream friends along made the visit even more enjoyable. At Alpha & Omega you can enjoy dinner and book a glamping tent and stay the night!
