Sweet potato festival exemplifies agritourism before Anne Arundel council considers bill next week to expand types of farm events

Over 300 people showed up during two time slots for the Sweet Potato Festival at Honey Harvest Farm on the sunny Sunday. While Chaney hosts agritourism events like the festival to educate the public on farming, a bill going before the County Council Monday, Nov. 16, would would also expand the type of events allowed to include “historical and cultural” events. The bill adds a definition for “Farm or Agricultural Heritage Site Special Events” to include parties, receptions and weddings.
