American Heritage Agritourism Trail and Passport:
A Project Concept
Imagine every state and province in North America having one or more American Agrifoodscape Heritage Areas that offer an immersive Taste of Place experience through tours, tastings, trails, cuisine and hospitality. Imagine also having a leather-bound passport with details about the location of each area, their key themes, and a page where you can get your passsport stamped. We’re a long way from having such a system, so there’s no time like the present to get to work establishing American Ag. Heritage Areas and building the network!

Rows of pecans in a commercial grove grow near wild pecan trees which naturally flank the shores of the San Saba River in the Hill Country of Texas.
American Style
American style food and agricultural tourism is less formal, more grassroots, and more accessible than what you’ll find in Europe or elsewhere, but it is no less steeped in traditional pratices and culinary foodways. Americans do produce specialty crops and artisanal foods that rival any global competition, and while we may not package and promote them internationally like other countries, we have world-class experiences to offer our own citizens as well as vistors “from away."
