Carroll County Launches Agritourism Passport Program

Carroll County Economic Development has launched the 2025 Carroll County Agritourism Passport Program!

This inaugural passport program is a guide to discovering the best of Carroll County’s agritourism — from local farms and fresh foods to unforgettable seasonal experiences. The program is intended for residents, visitors, children, adults, individuals, or families. The passport encourages exploration, supports local farms, and showcases the region’s rich agricultural heritage. There are over 20 participating sites across the county.

From the press release:

“We understand the importance of agribusiness to our county and appreciate this industry’s positive influence on our quality of life,” said Department of Economic Development Director Denise Beaver. “We believe this fun adventure will increase the visibility of some of our shining stars of agriculture within the community and encourage residents and visitors to explore our beautiful county. The goal of this outreach is to support local businesses and the agriculture community with a new and interesting approach.”

How it Works:

From June 1 through October 2025, those interested are invited to visit participating Carroll County farms and agritourism destinations. At each stop, collect a stamp in your passport. Beginning June 1st, passports can be picked up at the following locations:

  • Participating farm/agritourism sites
  • Carroll County Visitors Center at 500 S. Center Street, Westminster (at the Farm Museum)
  • RETURN completed passports to the Carroll County Visitors Center, Carroll County Government Office Building, or a Carroll County Public Library branch.

Visit! Stamp! Enjoy! Repeat! Participants can earn a prize by collecting stamps from at least 10 different locations, and those passports will then be entered into a grand prize drawing.
