Agritourism hard to define and regulate

LL Farms owner Michelle Gibbs keeps busy Friday afternoon inside the barn at her North Hall farm preparing it for a possible opening soon.
As agritourism becomes more popular, businesses in Hall County are taking advantage of market demand.

Commissioners are expected to discuss changes to a proposed “agri-entertainment” ordinance at its work session Monday.
