On July 8, 2025, staff attorney Jackie Schweichler will join North American Farmers’ Direct Marketing Association (NAFDMA) for a presentation on “Opening the Farm Gates: ADA Accessibility for Agritourism Guests.” 

A description of this webinar is below and more information can be found on the NAFDMA website here: Learn More

In this session we will cover how the ADA applies to agritourism, the general requirements for businesses, and a variety of ways in which your operation could be made more inclusive and accessible to your guests.

A large portion of the session will focus on service animals and emotional support animals, including definitions, appropriate fees, on-farm standards, and how to approach guests accompanied by dogs.

Along with the above, we will touch upon other aspects of ADA compliance including the following:

• Physical Barriers / Structures and pathways
• Digital Accessibility (Website/Social Media)
• Paying for ADA Updates & Tax Benefits
• Dispute Resolution

By the end of this session, you will have gained the understanding of the information needed to create a checklist for ADA compliance, and ways to best implement them into your operation.
