Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Providing vacation facilities for paying guests is a relatively new farm enterprise. The Economic Research Service has made two studies of farm vacation enterprises operated by Ohio farm families. The first study, made in 1962, traced the development of farm vacation associations in east central Ohio and related the experiences of the farm owners who provided vacation facilities. Continued strong interest in farm vacations and exhaustion of the report supply made a reissue desirable. The present study includes information gained after the first study was published. It also makes use of two surveys made by local farm vacation associations. This study incorporates data on the Ohio Farm Vacation Association, the 10 local associations comprising the State organization, and 53 enterprises (among the 65 listed in the 1963 State association brochure) considered to be farms. A farm vacation enterprise has discernible characteristics of typical farming operations and provides services for paying guests. Individual enterprises described in the 1963 brochure of the Ohio Farm Vacation Association that do not mention such characteristics but whose facility name carries the word "farm" are assumed to be farms and are included in this study. Information about the experiences of Ohio farm families providing vacation facilities should prove useful to farmers in Ohio and other areas who find it necessary to make more profitable uses of their farm resources.
