The Agri-Tourist, My Journey Back to Agriculture

Will Culler, PhD from Clemson University is the Lexington County Extension Coordinator and also the Director for the South Carolina Ag & Art Tour. The tour is the largest free farm and art tour in the nation with over 85,000 visitors participating since 2012. The South Carolina Ag + Art Tour is a self-guided tour of farms and markets featuring local artisans at every stop! During the tour, visitors have the opportunity to see first-hand where their food comes from, watch artists in action and purchase their works, enjoy the melodies of local musicians, and learn more about rural life.
Since Will assumed his Director role in 2019, the tour has expanded into several South Carolina counties. Will’s agriculture and business background coupled with his focus on education and agritourism makes him the perfect leader to expand the opportunities that the Ag and Art Tour represents and help establish the prototype for communities outside of South Carolina to replicate. As we discuss, these types of agritourism initiatives bring people together, educate, create connections, and instill a sense of community. Enjoy my conversation with Will Culler and two of his students at Clemson University.
