“Funding under this scheme allows rural businesses, including farmers, producers and artisans, to develop their products and services, connect with the community and visitors and improve the rural experience.”
The closing date for applications is 12pm on 4 March. Application forms can be found on the Department’s website.
Tourism
The Department said agri food tourism was the practice of offering an activity to visit areas of well-known agricultural produce and to sample and taste the local or regional cuisine or specialities.
