Descripción
The impacts of agritourism on farm profitability are poorly understood. Using Census of
Agriculture records, we employ propensity score matching to estimate the effects of agritourism
on the net cash income per acre of New Jersey farms. We find that agritourism has statistically
significant and positive effects on farm profitability. Profit impacts are highest among small farms
operated by individuals primarily engaged in farming. Positive but smaller effects are observed
for lifestyle farms. Profit effects among larger farms are not statistically significant.
