But an Agritourism bill recently talked about in a commissioner meeting in Worcester County could impact farmers.
“Hopefully, it will have a positive impact on the farmers that choose to do those,” Joe Mitrecic, President of the Worcester County Commissioners, said.
The bill would make it easier to get activities approved on their property by the county.
This could include a wedding, corn maze, or even festival.
“A lot of the items they can do now with the special exception, they will be able to do with this agritourism bill without having to go to planning and zoning,” Mitrecic said.

“There’s a large amount of frustration with the county, the county commissioners rely on staff for a lot of these things and it seems that staff somewhat dropped the ball on this,” Joe Mitrecic, Worcester County Commissioner President, said.
For these companies, the pandemic has changed how they operate.
They are spending money on PPE, they are having to disinfect a lot more, and for some their calls are taking longer.
