Agritourism

Agritourism is where farming meets tourism – giving visitors the chance to experience life on the land while supporting local producers and businesses.

From farm stays and produce tastings to farm gate sales, farm tours, and seasonal on-farm events, agritourism connects people with the region’s natural beauty, rural lifestyle, and quality local produce.

In Lithgow, agritourism plays an important role in diversifying farm incomes, creating new opportunities for small businesses, and strengthening the local economy. It also helps showcase our region’s unique landscape and culture to visitors, encouraging longer stays and repeat visits.

Council is committed to supporting responsible and sustainable agritourism ventures. We work with farmers, landowners, tourism operators, and community members to ensure activities are safe, accessible, and respectful of our environment and rural character.

If you’re a landholder or business interested in exploring agritourism opportunities, please contact Council’s Tourism Manager at 02 6352 9130 for further information.
