The New PAUSE Initiative from NAFDMA Supports Agritourism Operators


In recognition of May as Mental Health Awareness Month, we have launched a new web page to encourage community connection and support those needing mental health tools and resources. 


You'll find a curated collection of online inspiration and resources for navigating the stress of owning and managing a farm, developing a work-life balance and encouraging everyday mindfulness. The resources featured here are accessible and available to all regardless of membership with NAFDMA as part of our PAUSE initiative.


Emphasizing your mental health and wellness, PAUSE stands for: Priority, Awareness, Unplug, Support and Exhale.


NAFDMA debuted its PAUSE initiative at the 2026 Agritourism Convention and Expo with the PAUSE Wellness Lounge - an intentional space to rest and recharge during the Convention.

NAFDMA is committed to continuing to explore ways to prioritize the awareness and focus on mental health and well-being in the agritourism industry. Have an idea, resource or story to share? Email us at info@nafdma.com and we'll be in touch!

Yes, 💩happens…literally! Petting zoos, riding stables, restroom trailers, porta-potties, and did you just say corn maze?!? Eww! But, remember you, yes YOU, make the good 💩happen!

As NAFDMA staff, we know you are in the true thick of fall season in the Northern Hemisphere. Things feel tough, you are worn down, and if one more customer asks *that question* again, you feel as if you are going to lose your mind. It can be helpful at this point to remember where you started vs where you are now. YOU have done the hard work to create a beautiful space for customers to truly make memories. And if you can transform a farm into a place of memories, you can weather whatever storm (literal or figurative) that comes your way. In life, we all start somewhere and use our individual skills, hard work, and imagination to make the world a better place. Just think about how far you have come already...and where you can go. We see you, and we see every bit of the enchantment you create and the exhaustion it causes. YOU are amazing. Photos courtesy of DeBuck’s Family Farm and Lynd Fruit Farm .
