New guide highlights the best of Haywood’s homemade

The new agritourism guide for Haywood County is out, highlighting farmers markets, plant nurseries, pick-your-own farms, roadside produce stands, Christmas tree farms, farm-to-table restaurants and shops that sell products made from locally-grown items. 

“The 2015 Agritourism Guide has been designed to appeal to a vibrant and diverse traveler, from empty-nesters to modern families, while highlighting the rich farming and agricultural heritage of our county,” said Tina Masciarelli, Buy Haywood Project Coordinator.   

The new guide even includes a hand-illustrated hiking map, panoramic photograph of Purchase Knob and never-before-published recipe for grilled sirloin with fresh fig salsa.

Buy Haywood, a project of the Haywood Advancement Foundation, puts the guide out each year as a way to promote all that Haywood has to offer those interested in the growing sector of agritourism. Hailed as a “primary force” in the modern economy, this kind of tourism focused on agriculture and local products draws millions of visitors to North Carolina each year. 

The free guide is distributed at all Haywood County Visitor Centers, the Haywood County Chamber of Commerce, and many sites throughout the county listed at www.buyhaywood.com
