Growing Together: Why Your Agritourism Business Should Partner with Ontario Agritourism

Running a fair, a farm store, a local market, or any agritourism venture in Ontario takes passion, hard work, and a deep connection to the land and community. But in a world where everyone is competing for attention, online, on the road, and at the farm gate, how do you make your voice heard?

That’s where Ontario Agritourism (OAT) comes in.

We’re not just a website. We’re a growing, grassroots movement that shines a spotlight on everything that makes rural Ontario so vibrant, from the laughter of a midway ride to the taste of farm-fresh berries, the clink of canning jars in a market stall, and the pride of showcasing local traditions. And we want your story to be part of it.

Here’s why partnering or advertising with Ontario Agritourism is a smart, authentic, and meaningful way to grow your reach, and your impact.

1. Reach the Right People at the Right Time

Our audience isn’t just browsing, they’re actively looking for fairs to attend, farms to visit, markets to shop at, and rural getaways to enjoy. Whether it’s families planning a weekend road trip, foodies seeking local flavours, or teachers organizing farm field trips, our visitors are already tuned in to what you offer.

When you advertise or list with Ontario Agritourism, you’re reaching engaged, curious, experience-driven consumers, the kind of people who support local, share their discoveries on social media, and come back year after year.

2. Be Part of a Trusted, Local Brand

We’ve built our platform around trust, authenticity, and Ontario pride. People come to Ontario Agritourism because they know they’ll find real, grassroots experiences, not corporate tourism fluff.

By partnering with us, your business benefits from that same trust. You’re not just a blip in an ad scroll, you’re part of a network that celebrates the real Ontario: hard-working farm families, small-town festivals, homegrown food, and unforgettable countryside adventures.

3. Tell Your Story — Not Just Sell Your Product

You’re more than just a booth, a barn, or a market stall. You have a story to tell, whether it’s the generations behind your family farm, the recipe passed down in your pie stand, or the volunteers who make your local fair happen.

Ontario Agritourism helps you share that story. Through featured listings, blog articles, interviews, and social posts, we shine a light on what makes each partner unique. Because when people connect with your story, they’re far more likely to support your business, and tell their friends.

4. Amplify Your Events and Offerings

Have a special event coming up? Launching a new product? Running a seasonal market, workshop, or tasting? We can help you get the word out through targeted promotions, community calendars, feature stories, and curated guides (like “Fall Fun on the Farm” or “10 Must-Visit Ontario Markets”).

Instead of relying on random foot traffic or hoping for a viral moment, you’ll be reaching people who are already searching for what you offer, and planning their trips accordingly.

5. Support the Bigger Picture — and Each Other

Advertising with Ontario Agritourism isn’t just a smart move for your business, it’s a way to support and strengthen the entire agritourism community. We believe that by working together, we can help Ontario’s fairs and farms thrive, not just survive.

Every listing, feature, and partnership helps build momentum, spread awareness, and bring more visitors to rural Ontario. When you partner with us, you're joining a movement that values community over competition, where we rise by lifting each other.

6. Affordable, Flexible, and Made for You

We know every farm and fair is different, and so are your budgets and goals. That’s why we offer flexible advertising options designed to fit small businesses, seasonal events, and year-round attractions alike.

From simple directory listings to spotlight articles, banner ads, and social campaigns, we’ll help you find the right fit, and make the most of your message.
