Agritourism is a style of vacation in which hospitality is offered on farms. This may include the opportunity to assist with farming tasks while on vacation. Agritourism is often practiced in wine growing regions.

Dude ranches offer tourists the chance to work on cattle ranches and sometimes include cattle drives.
