Farmers are finding new ways to earn money and connect with people. A recent study shows that letting people visit and participate in farm activities can be beneficial. This approach is helping farms make more money and become closer to their communities.

Researchers looked at many farms and found that farmers care about teaching people and creating spaces for community gatherings. They also want to earn a living, but that is not their only goal.

More information about the study and its findings are available, including details about what farmers need to make these community-focused efforts successful.
