Southland farmers experiment with agri-tourism

Southland farmers have started looking for greener pasture - and tourist dollars - by welcoming visitors on to their working properties. It's a niche market now, but there are hopes the region could become a mecca for agritourism. Venture Southland has been running agritourism information workshops across the region this week, attracting more than 100 people over four sessions. Our tourism reporter Tess Brunton attended their workshop in Gore.
