#10: Hear the Story of an Agritourism Pioneer - Knott's Berry Farm
|
|
|
|
|
From family farm to theme park, the Knott's Berry Farm story is an amazing tale of an early-day agritourism pioneer. Walter and Cordelia Knott settled on their Buena Park farmland in 1920 to harvest vegetables and berries, yet twenty years later they popularized the boysenberry, opened a restaurant with wait times up to four hours long, and developed a western Ghost Town. What the Knott family gave Southern California grew to become America's first theme park, the home of famed roller coasters and a grand-daddy of all Halloween celebrations, the Knott's Scary Farm Haunt.
We are excited to have J. Eric Lynxwiler, co-author of “Knott’s Preserved", joining us at the Corn Party to share the story of this famous California destination.

#9: We'll Be Visiting the World's Largest Ag Expo!
|
|
|
|
Dubbed the "superbowl of agriculture" by some, the World Ag Expo is one of the primary reasons we selected California as this year's destination for the Corn Party and it was overwhelmingly voted by many of you as a stop you wanted to have included in our itinerary.
Offering something for everyone, we'll spend a full day on our pre-conference bus tour exploring everything the expo has to offer, including a popular field trip learning center located adjacent to the Expo...the AgVentures Agri-Center.
